Guess it's time to invest in a locking mailbox.

Re: Random randomness
Inconceivable. It's basically a homemade Reece's ball but better.
You pretty much just mix peanutbutter, powdered sugar and butter. Roll 1" balls. Stick in toothpick. Cool. Double boil melt dark chocolate or morsels. dip chilled balls in melted chocolate, place on wax paper cool again and remove toothpick. They're Christmas "cookie" standard. Not having buckeye is like not having chocolate chip cookie or snicker doodle or peatnut butter cookie with forkmark or russian teacake. It's... unfathomable to me.

Those "Buckeye" things look delicious. In Maine, we don't see things like that - but should. I'm sure they'd sell well at confectionery stores.
We don't call the tree nuts Buckeyes, though; we call them Chestnuts.

They take no time, effort, money, or baking to make as long as you know how to melt chocolate and they are sooooo much better than any store bought chocolate/peanutbutter candy out there. They are lighter and tastier.
Toothpicks
Mixer
Cookie sheet
Wax paper
double boiler (which I don't own so I just heat water in a small handled pot and put a bowl on top)
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (i get get crunchy)
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
semisweet morsels or chocolate wafers
Mix peanutbutter, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar
Roll into 1" or so balls
Stick in toothpicks and place on wax paper on cookie sheet
Chill
Melt chocolate in doubleboiler
roll balls in melted chocolate and place back on cookie sheet
chill
remove toothpicks
Costs, what, maybe six bucks, takes about about 30 minutes of effort and an hour or two chilling. Makes, many chocolates. I don't remember exactly but probably 3 dozen or more.

My wife's employer has a regional office in the Cincinnati area and she was out there a few weeks ago. One of her team members (hooray remote departments!) gave her a handful and she saved one for me.
But yeah, 44 years and I'd never heard of one (outside of an actual buckeye). The idea that it was crafted into a delicious peanut butter-based candy? Amazing.

Did my first ever hot towel, straight razor beard trim today. I typically don't like anything that involves people touching me (haircuts, massages, etc.), that was just fantastic. Will definitely be working that in on a monthly basis moving forward.

Re: Random randomness
One of my favorite things in life. Getting harder to find people who do it properly. If I won the lottery I would have someone to do it every morning.
When I used to work offshore that was the first thing I always did upon return. I would spend the last few days of my hotch just thinking about how awesome my haircut and beard trim would make me feel upon my return.

Getting the back of my neck trimmed using hot foam and a straight razor is amazing, assuming a skilled barber.
For the record I also don't like physical contact with strangers, including the process of getting my hair cut.
I do love my hair having been freshly cut. It's a conundrum.

Re: Random randomness
We've stopped using a double boiler and now use the AB method when dealing with melted chocolate. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, and then put that bowl in another bowl with a heating pad turned on high inside. Eliminates the danger of steam condensation landing in your chocolate and causing it to seize. And remelting seized chocolate sucks.LordMortis wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 9:41 amThey take no time, effort, money, or baking to make as long as you know how to melt chocolate and they are sooooo much better than any store bought chocolate/peanutbutter candy out there.

This was the third time I've had a beard trim at this small barber shop. The first two times were just a basic trim, but the guy asked this morning if I wanted to do the full straight razor and hot towel treatment. I was initially going to pass, but figured "what the hell". Mrs. Skinypupy and I are heading out for our 20th anniversary trip this afternoon, so looking a little less scraggly might be a good thing, right?
Glad I did, the guy did a fantastic job. Turns out, he was taught and mentored by an old-school barber who recently retired after 63 years of cutting hair.

Re: Random randomness
I hated haircuts as a kid because I didn't want my hair cut plus it itched to hell. Now days I enjoy the haircut and barely itch at all from them. But Ive never gotten a shave due to two things.....worried about dirty blades....well unless you watch them use a new one...my local place used to use disposable twin blades which i figured sucked. I still remember them when I was a kid using a straight razor. Anyways the other is I have a small mole under my left jaw...just a small almost flat one ...but still worry Id bleed like a madman.....which bring up a clean razor again
Ive needed a haircut for 3 months. Maybe this time. If not then soon Im going to just use my clippers to shave it off or get the wife to try and eyeball it.

Re: Random randomness
UGH I hate killing mice! In fact I hate killing anything living thing these days. As a kid and teen Id go hunting rabbit and squirrel. But as an older adult I dislike it . Ive disliked it more the older I get. I think it started sometime in the early 90s when there was a rat under the fridge. Our little chihuahua cornered it and my only option was to grab it by the tail under there and stab it to death with a knife. That feeling of that is still with me. I had no idea at the time it would bother me but it did . I think thats when it started.
But over the years Ive gotten worse with it to the point I hate to kill ants in the kitchen or flys in the bedroom. I just dislike it. Those opossums we had/have I simply kept tossing out or driving down the road to the country to let out. But I cant simply let a rat or mice stay in my home...especially the kitchen. They gnaw wires and stuff, they poop and pee and worst they carry diseases. As we get older I feel we are more susceptible to that so I cannot leave them. I usually put out poison and never see them again. But that can be a horrible way to die so figured Id stick out traps. Its fast and maybe the most humane.
So at 6 am this morn Im listening to music and hear one SNAP. I go to check and the mouse is chest up into the trap. I figured he was dead or would be soon. 20 min later I come back and nope. I cant leave it. I cant release it. It could come back or be in pain. Finally I had to do something so I put it trap and all in a jar of water. Online says 3 min tops. I had to weight it down it kept pushing up to the top even in the trap.
I feel horrible. The mouse is a mammal like us....fur, live birth, feeds them with milk. Heck they're cute. I have owned hamsters and such as a kid. But even though I feel awful I just cannot leave them in the house. UGH
EDIT: Coming back to this at 10:30am Ill say the silly thing I didn't post before so I can be mocked even more seriously. If there are souls, and Im hoping there is, I think everything has a soul. From people down to an ant. Ya there I said it. I hate to think Im killing a living thing and taking it's life away from it. Maybe if God is a there he'll forgive me for killing one of his creatures. Saying that Im reminded of Space Above and Beyond where Col McQueen says as he goes out to kill Chiggy von Richthofen

Well, I don't think our maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he knows I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe. And when I get back, I'm going to drink a bottle of scotch as if it was Chiggy Von Richtofen's blood and celebrate his death.

Probably depends. It's not something I personally see much of. If there's one of those "give a penny take a penny" jars it could come from there. My wife will always supply the penny or pennies or whatever it takes to not get coins back when practical. Kid in a food truck may not have the liberty of not ignoring the penny, who knows.

My early bosses would yell at us if the till didn't balance exactly. I assume "penny amnesty" is customary where there's a corporation on top, but a food truck is a pretty marginal enterprise.
