Recommend finishing products to me that aren't Minwax
Coatings chemist here.
If you’re willing to go waterborne, try General Finishes. Their stains and clears have always performed well for me.

Foster Dovey is making great progress.
Good heavens, she’s absolutely adorable. I have a soft spot for dilute torties and calicos…
That’s a foster fail waiting to happen if ever I saw one.

Feelgood Friday... what's something good that's happened this week?
Our little man Nimbus (3 mo.) came home on Monday, and Luna (almost 13 mo.) seems to have jumped well into the “big sister” role. (Same parents, different year, or as I like to say “kitter from another litter”.)

TIL Mr. Tornado (Tetsuya Fujita) who created the tornado intensity F0-F5 scale was living in the primary target city when the atomic bomb was dropped but the city was spared because it was too cloudy
Interesting. I’ve met him; he came to my university back in the early 1990s to deliver a lecture. A very pleasant and humble man.
His son Kazuya taught my undergraduate geophysics course.

They’re Maine Coon Cats, in what we’ve learnt is a rather rare color - “blue silver shaded”. Luna is already fourteen pounds…

Which shotgun should I buy?
A second-hand (pre-Cerberus/Freedom Group) Remington 1100 or 11-87 in twenty-gauge. I am partial to the “special field” version with the straight grip.
Any adjustable LOP would be aftermarket, or you can have her measured and get the factory stock altered by a competent gunsmith. Note that I wrote “gunsmith,” not “AR assembler” - the two are conflated far too often these days.

If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

My wife and I have a Moluccan cockatoo and an Indian ringneck.
Think of parrots as very demanding, often destructive, toddlers that never grow up and have no “inside voice.” They will make you thank whatever god you follow that you can get subtitles on your television.
