May your Friday B. Goode

“Charlie, Charlie…it’s Marvin, you know your cousin Marvin Barry…”

Break out the painkillers

…and my lower back is out.
Out-out.
As in… if you twitch too hard you’ll be immobile out.

Naked DMGs are bad. Critical miss!

I finished beveling on one side of the DMG cover and started working the other side. My back is killing me from the “barn party” yesterday ( the “barn party” was a 7 hour barn clean-up, sprucing, and trash haul-a-thon…I did what I could and then got benched by the barn owner for doing to [...]
