And be sure to "tip" with one of those fake bills.

At my wife's church people honk at each each other trying to get out of the parking lot. Brotherly love lasts about one minute after leaving the building.

Burrito Wrap (And some Wisconsin history!)
I've also wondered about Ixonia's unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍

They work very well. We've been using a set for four years now.

bandsaw buying advice
I've had the Laguna 1412 for a long time and am happy with it. A bigger saw will have a couple of advantages:
So the usual advice is to get the biggest saw you can afford, assuming you have the electrical setup for it. Footprints are pretty similar.
With my 14" saw I primarily use 1/2" x 0.035" Lennox Dimaster Bimetals blades and get great results. With a 17"+ saw I could use a wider blade with lower TPI and resaw faster, but as a weekend warrior those time savings don't add up.

RM: fire hose ablutions
He still does Red Meat?? That was my favorite part of the reading the (paper issues of) Onion way back in the day.

The neon sign should be reversed when viewed from inside. Larson probably got bags of mail about that one.

Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I'm in a large metro area and exclusively use it.

Suggestions for a two-child height tracker
This is what I did for you our kids. Used a bull nose but in a router for the engraving. The graduations were done with a straightedge while the numbers were freehanded over pencil lines.
I then spray painted it black and sanded off the paint from the flat surfaces, leaving it paint in the engraving troughs.
Their heights are simply penciled on.
We're pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and doesn't feel out of place.

perfect amount of stress
Does stress cause the red tint?

I still don't get buffers
Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.
One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.

Child's Toy Train Set

Thanks! He's liking it so far so I likely will add a few extra cars. It was the first thing he pulled out this morning so I was pretty chuffed.
Maybe a flat car for hauling his other toys.

Accidental cutaway of hole drilled with spade bit. Also is 2x3/4" plywood a good vise jaw idea?
I think that would be a perfectly good jaw vise. But only put in a few dog holes, as shown in their product photos, to maximize rigidity.
