Lessons Learned

I apologize for yesterday's radio silence. In the AM I was busy doing disaster recovery testing at work, and in the afternoon I cranked out 1500 words on a short story. Here, in order to fill some space, some lessons learned.

1) I no longer need a tire air pressure gauge - my car has tire air pressure sensors.

2) Meat thermometers only work if you take the meat being tested out of the oven.

3) A five-pound boneless rib roast for five adults yields at least a pound of leftovers. (Good thing I like rib roast.)

4) If you have a 41-inch waist, you need to buy 40-inch pants with expandable waistlines. They don't make 41-inch waists, and 42s fall off.

5) the cocktail whiskey old fashioned is a dangerously mild-tasting drink.
