Engineers Have Created Durable Concrete Made From Ground-Up Rubber Tires
The new concrete is strong, cheaper to make, and repurposes millions of used tires.
Thanks!
Hey, isn’t that that Beatles tune?
“Woke up, fell out of bed, spewed some fire water out my head.”
NEVER MIND.
OK, finally the DMV sent me plates and registration tags. Took all the dealership crap and the paper temp license out of the back window and popped those babies right onto the mounts.
Next step: use some Gorilla Spray Adhesive to discourage any industrious thieves. A little dab will do ya, I’m sure.
For external use only. Oh, who am I kidding! If they want to steal the plates it doesn’t take a criminal mastermind to subvert any deterrents a simple weenie like me can think of.
My secret is out.
I often pepper my post with references (I blame MST) - that’s one of the easier, obvious ones. At the “Never Seen the Godfather” thread for example, I wrote… “I’ve made some amazing discoveries” - Amazing Discoveries was a series of informercials hosted by Mike Levey.
It’s just something weird I do.
But you’ll go insane if you try to find them all, because some are personal - stories from my life, lyrics from songs I wrote (the words “crystal clarity” in one of the first posts I posted here, comes from a song - it suited the sentence, but I only worded it that way for the esoteric reference)
Now that folks are aware of my sweet madness, will they think of me differently?

Yes. Yes they will.
Did you ever have any “private” thoughts about the movie The Shining? No judgment expressed. Just…priming wondering about things.
No private thoughts, though I do love the carpeting at the Gizmoplex
Come join us in the Gardener’s Corner thread anytime!
Since it’s seed catalog season, talk to me about your gardens! What are your favorite vegetable or flower varieties? What are you trying for the first time this year? What has worked really well (or not worked) for you in the past? If you’re a new gardener or just thinking of getting started, come ask for tips!
HBD, TeriG!
I need to find a farmer’s market around here. I don’t have a garden anymore. I want to get some kind of herb garden going on my balcony, but I don’t have time to think about that right now. So maybe next year.
It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done any gardening. But I’d like to again.
I looooooooved growing hot peppers and pumpkins.
Also also…
… happiest of birthdays to ya!
Very welcome, @TeriG!
And where the gardening is concerned, I hope you’ll be able to get something going in that direction when you want to - cheers, and all the best!
Drove the BatCar around some more today. Big improvement in the ride.
Splish splash and happy birthday!

The start list for the Vuelta a Espana is out and I am SO STOKED!
Competing teams and riders for La Vuelta ciclista a España 2022. Top competitors are Alejandro Valverde, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Froome.
I was just informed by Major League Baseball HR Person that my sixth (!!) Zoom interview has been called off because they’re putting an offer together for me.
So yay for no more interviews, and less poverty, and more health insurance coverage, and fewer feelings of despair and worthlessness, and the brakes I can now afford for my car, and no more hat-in-hand conversations with smug silicon valley start-up punks, and bailing TF off of LinkedIn again. Yay.
Congratulations! It sounds like it’s been a long time coming!
