Lot's of #hams in the group are from the #DMV so they are former or current #government & #military #contractors. Needless to say I overheard alot of discontent about their jobs or former jobs--all in low voices proceeded by cut-eye glances over shoulders.

Good morning. 🦆🪿🦢
11 December 2025
I’m having a portion of my driveway redone. They started yesterday and are supposed to pour this morning. I’m a little on edge—I hired the company through Angi. So far, their work is adequate, but I can’t help feeling that this kind of decision-making is part of what makes me, me.
I did my research into concrete—it’s not all the same, you know. The contractor initially proposed pouring 3,000 psi concrete, which is the minimum standard. No doubt he was trying to keep costs low to secure the job. I simply told him to go with 4,000 psi, which is the recommended strength for driveways, and that I’d cover the extra cost.
What frustrates me with contractors is that they often default to the lowest option to win the bid, rarely presenting alternatives. It’s as if they assume all the customer cares about is cost. And yes, cost matters—but so does quality. I understand that cost and quality can be in tension, but I’d rather be given the full picture and make the decision myself. Wouldn’t you?
The contractor got back to me and said the difference between 3,000 psi and 4,000 psi concrete is only $10 per cubic yard. He estimated the job at 12 yards, so the upgrade adds just $120. I paced it off yesterday and suspect it’s closer to 15 cubic yards. We’ll see. I agreed to pay the actual cost of the concrete rather than the estimate baked into his price. Life goes on.

…Since it began operations in May, #GHF was beset by controversy over its opaque origins & funding sources & reliance on #armed private #contractors to secure its #aid hubs.
The #UN & most major aid groups, which had been providing most of the aid before the war & in its early stages, refused to work with GHF, accusing it of “weaponising” aid to force the #displacement of #Palestinians to southern #Gaza, a goal previously outlined by #FarRight #Israel leaders.

Random Thoughts
I am wrapping up my lunch break on this random Wednesday in March and I thought I’d jot down a couple of thoughts for posterity. Ready? Okay, let’s roll….
- Want to know something that sucks? I brought two ounces of Planters Salted Peanuts with me for lunch today (14 grams of protein). I took a small handful (my gastric bypassed body can’t handle more than a small handful at a time without getting sick) and popped it into my maw. I chewed it up a little (again, part of the post-gastric bypass world means chewing the holy hell out of everything, which sounds silly and obvious [like, didn’t you chew the holy hell out of everything before surgery? I thought I did, but apparently not] but until you fail to chew something down enough you can’t really understand) and suddenly and without warning I had to sneeze. Know what’s gross? Sneezing with a mouthful of partially chewed up peanuts… that’s what’s gross. Worse? 20 seconds after you sneeze, when you think you’ve recovered and cleaned up the mess… you sneeze again. Ugh.
- Elon Musk posted to his nazi social media site that he didn’t understand why people are out to get him. He said he sells things that are good and that he’s never hurt anyone. Never hurt anyone? Are you fucking kidding me, you fucking moron? This nazi fucker’s end can’t come soon enough. Deport his moronic ass to mars and be done with it.
- We have a contractor coming tomorrow. We have two contractors coming Friday. March 2025 will go down in family history as the month of the contractors. We just can’t get away from them. Please please please let this be the end of it for a while.
- We are one week and one day away from the start of the Boston Red Sox 2025 season. No matter what happens, they can’t be any more painful to watch than the Bruins were this year. Even if they come in dead last again it still won’t suck as badly as the B’s. I’m thinking about signing up for an online subscription to NESN (the New England Sports Network. The TV network that carries both the Red Sox and the Bruins). I think my days of being a radio-only Red Sox fan might be coming to an end. I haven’t decided one way or the other yet, but I think it’s going to happen… we’ll see.
- I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone. I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone. Did I mention I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone? Who am I kidding. I want to buy a tenor saxophone. Only if it’s a good one though. Aw, hell.
Okay. I have to get back to work now. This is all I have time for right now. I’ll probably write up some more brain droppings later. It’s one of those days, if you know what I mean.

The Frustration Continues
I am starting to wonder if this particular contractor just likes our house or something and wants to keep coming over. I’m kidding, of course, but sheesh.
The project that was supposed to happen today uncovered an issue that required us to push to another day as well as make some changes before it can happen. Which means we’re going to have to schedule another day for them to come back once they find the parts they need. It’s routine maintenance that just never seems to end, somehow.
Insert yet another frustrated sigh here.
On the plus side, since I’m only working half a day today, my work day only has two hours and 12 minutes remaining instead of six hours and 42 minutes. Nice.

Hmmmm... I'm seeing a pattern here. #PeterMills and #MaineTurnpikeAuthority are looking to build a highway through forests and farms because it would be cheaper (but #LightRail would be even CHEAPER, but would involve less #contractors). Peter's sister #JanetMills wants to put an #OffshoreWindFarm on #SearsIsland because it would be cheaper than #MackPoint (which would involve cleaning up pollution -- the horror!)

The unusual political alliance opposing an offshore wind port in #Maine
by Billy Kobin
December 4, 2023"The 941-acre Sears Island, the largest undeveloped island in #PenobscotBay, is connected to the mainland by a causeway and is located off the coast of #Searsport, the Route 1 town of about 2,600 residents. The state owns the island, though #NativeAmericans who called it #Wassumkeag, or 'bright sand beach,' used it over thousands of years for camping, hunting, fishing and resting along paddling routes."
