Happy Holidays WRUP

Hey there everyone, welcome to WRUP and happy holidays. Here's hoping everyone is planning a good time with the people they care about. We're going pretty small here this year. I think it's just immediate family, maybe a couple friends locally if they have a free moment to join us. I'm going to sous vide a tritip or some other beef, I've got a Turkey in freezer that never got used from Thanksgiving and we have some six pounds of jumbo shrimp, so it'll be a good surf and turf dinner. I'm hoping our mild weather lasts and we can eat outside at the fire pits and just chill and enjoy the evening all cozy like. For now though, here we are and it's time for a WRUP. So let's get to it.

Here We Go Again On Our WRUP

Well, good morning. Hopefully everyone had a good Thanksgiving, ate too much, held down the couch and didn't argue too much with relatives who hadn't been around since last year. Mine was great. Lots of food and a sunny day so we ate outside and once the night cooled down we lit the fire pits, had a few beers and ended the night with scotch and cigars. Not too big of a crowd this time around. But that's okay. We had a great time and a ton of laughs. Thanksgiving is of course not bespoke to the US, but we seem to relate our celebration to some form of independence. Not true, the real story is sordid and bleak with no shortage classism and racism etc. But, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the tradition in the way it's evolved over time by just getting together, eating too much turkey for some reason and trying not to murder each other based on our differences in ideals. Let's get to the WRUP. Read more

Here, Take This WRUP

Good morning or whatever time of day it happens to be wherever you are. It's time for yet more WRUP. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day around these parts, nearly 70 and I think I'll take the opportunity to get some more wood cut and split since I sort of fell behind during October thanks to things be extra busy. I also need to blow out this computer because holy smokes it's dusty in there. Winter preparations, house cleaning and general boring-ass chores are the theme for the day. Yay for me. Okay let's look at a PlayStation centric WRUP. Read more

This WRUP is Late and My LOTF Save Was Corrupted

Thank goodness I finally finished this deck job I've been working on yesterday. It's taken up way too much of my time and though the end result was a pretty decent pay day it shouldn't take 75 hours to paint deck railings. It was build without a permit by an engineer about 20 years ago an it's a pretty good looking structure, but it's full of lights and switches and wiring so I couldn't disassemble much of it to help my progress. There are metal pickets that weren't allowed to change color with the rest of the structure so they all had to be masked. I had fifteen hours alone just taping. Ridiculous. The lumber was being painted is dimensional so there are lots of little nooks to get in to. And since it's non-permitted it was built without stairs on what is effectively the second story facing downhill on a slope so I also had my 24 foot extension ladder to be able to prep the outer facing sides. But hey, the owners are happy and I think I'll have more work there in the near future. That was more or less the last half of October for me and I'm done whining about it. Let's look at what's going on in actual WRUP land and discuss a seriously game breaking issue for Lords of the Fallen. Read more
