When my mom passed away my dad dragged his feet for a few years getting the headstone so he went and put in a wooden paint stick in the spot. I would stop and look for the familiar paint stick.

The stone was ordered but there's been a huge backlog. I put a wooden cross down but the groundcrew is pretty aggressive at clean everything that's not a headstone. I was doing good with the mismatched grass I planted until today. I'm pretty sure I went to the right spot as I counted out how far she is from the nearest stone but I am never sure.

My wife says she knows those feelings... I hope the marker comes quickly.

If you feel you are in the right place, then its precisely the right place.

Your brother may be 'the good son' and he may be great in front of a crowd, but live streaming Christmas lights to a friend in the hospital? That's next level awesome man, and I'm glad your friend is back in signal range.
I'm sure your wife got the flowers. Love is location-independent. And they sure do look pretty on the snow.

I checked out some of your bro's service. I can see being nervous as he did the entire service. He did well given my experience.
It helps to have a song leader or deacon do some of the other parts and just let him preach. Overall I thought it was a good service. Now being a Baptist I might throw in a few instruments and rock the place out. LOL

The good son is kind of a running joke, depending on the day one of us was good and on was the screw up. He was the athlete, good student, military kid and I was the underachiever that everything just kind of works out for but everything I'm doing for people he'd do as well. We both got that from our father.
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
He'd love to have some more music, the church is a bit uptight if that's the right word. His father in law was an older Dutch immigrant who was pretty reserved.
My step-father died this morning after about 10 days with the Wuhan Virus. I don't mind that he died - he was 97 and had lived a full and wonderful life. I do mind the nearly year long isolation that was forced on him - the suffering and slow decline that it caused. ...yet I hear his voice telling me not to be bitter over it. Peace.

Sorry to hear that, man. I understand your post but it's still never easy.
You know what I need? Another hobby! Because apparently I didn't have enough unfinished car projects or piles of parts sitting around.
I think I want to get into 1:10 scale RC. I feel the Axial SCX10 II is going to be my poison of choice. I bought a cheap RC car just for the body which kicked this whole thing off. The price of entry to the SCX10 world is pretty steep. I see you can buy a builders kit. Is there a better way to start off?
My wallet is already crying.
You don't have a brain inside you. You are a brain. You are a 3 pound lump of jello driving an armored suit made of meat.

Armor's pretty crappy, to be honest.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
It's liquid cooled, self healing, and waterproof, as well as being resistant to extremes of heat and cold. It moves with the wearer, and can provide force feedback light enough to pick up a feather, or strong enough to throw an object well over 100'. It is also calibrated to distinguish a difference of thousandths of an inch in a smooth surface.
Pretty cool slab of meat, if you ask me...
In reply to Recon1342 :
Yeah, but just ONE hit with a device as primitive as a hatchet and it's all over.
I have enough friends with mental health issues to cast serious doubt on the "self healing" factor. Sure, it does a whole bunch of amazing things when parts of it get physically damaged, sometimes. But a little bit of low blood sugar can bring those traumas right back to the forefront again, like a welded-up exhaust crack breaking free again. And then there are the problems you get from, say, parents who abused the brain in its training period (also known as "childhood"), or the psycological traumas from, say, waking up to find that the person you loved more than anything else in the world died in their sleep, right there next to you, and you're completely powerless to do anything about your world being wrenched away from you like that and that it could happen again at any time.
When I see BMW SMG, my brain translates it to "Sarah-Michelle Gellar."
I swear to "Bob", if I ever get an E46 M3, it will have the plate "NO E36 M3" or "BUFFY" depending on which transmission it has.

Love it! I would question the armored part, but its def. a cool azz meat suit! The 3 pound lump, despite being amazing, does come with its share of problems, as used.
One thing quarantine/WFH/The-Hell-We-All-Share-Now does is make you listen in on your spouse's work calls and such.
I know how much my wife cares about her clients (she is in ABA, works primarily with kids on the ASD spectrum) but I never really knew how much she cared for those technicians and such that work for her and that she supervises. Heard a meeting today where she argued strongly on behalf of a tech who was getting taken off of a case due to a parent's chronic miscommunication and misunderstanding about how the therapy is supposed to go and she was solidly in the tech's corner.
It was nice. Made me proud of her.
electrical tape needs to have heat shrinking properties.

True, but as a rule, Humans are the most OP organism on the planet. It's fun to contemplate, honestly.
I just used the screwdriver on my Leatherman to tighten the scissors on my Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. I felt like Hank Hill using a mini WD-40 to open the big WD-40.

If this was a dad competition, you'd be winning. Even better if you were wearing grass stained New Balance shoes. Or crocs.

Alas, the crocs are retired until the snow and ice are gone, and I wear Brooks, not New Balance.
