Good morning, banterland. Been up and about for two hours already. Opening day for kids' baseball.What's the temp?
I remember how much I hated spring practice and games when it was so cold that your arms ached every time you hit the ball.

Today is Saturday, April 2, the 92nd day of 2022.
There are 273 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II died in his Vatican apartment at age 84.
On this date:
In 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, which authorized establishment of the U.S. Mint.
In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and most of his Cabinet fled the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, because of advancing Union forces.
In 1912, the just-completed RMS Titanic left Belfast to begin its sea trials eight days before the start of its ill-fated maiden voyage.
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” (Congress declared war four days later.)
In 1982, several thousand troops from Argentina seized the disputed Falkland Islands, located in the south Atlantic, from Britain. (Britain seized the islands back the following June.)
In 1986, four American passengers, including an 8-month-old girl, her mother and her grandmother, were killed when a terrorist bomb exploded aboard a TWA jetliner en route from Rome to Athens, Greece.
In 1992, mob boss John Gotti was convicted in New York of murder and racketeering; he was later sentenced to life, and died in prison.
In 1995, after a work stoppage lasting nearly eight months, baseball owners accepted the players’ union offer to play without a contract.
In 2002, Israel seized control of Bethlehem; Palestinian gunmen forced their way into the Church of the Nativity, the traditional birthplace of Jesus, where they began a 39-day standoff.
In 2003, during the Iraq War, American forces fought their way to within sight of the Baghdad skyline.
In 2007, in its first case on climate change, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency, ruled 5-4 that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases were air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
In 2020, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide passed the 1 million mark, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. The captain of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier facing a coronavirus outbreak was fired after widely distributing a memo pleading for help; Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said Capt. Brett Crozier had demonstrated “poor judgment” in a crisis. (Modly himself would resign days later after facing a backlash over his harsh criticism of Crozier in remarks to the ship’s crew.)

Five years ago: Jason Aldean was named entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards held in Las Vegas. A’ja Wilson scored 23 points to help coach Dawn Staley and South Carolina win their first women’s NCAA championship with a 67-55 victory over Mississippi State.
One year ago: In his first call to the president of Ukraine, President Joe Biden underscored U.S. support for that country, amid reports of Russian troop movements on Ukraine’s eastern border. A U.S. Capitol police officer, William Evans, was killed when a man rammed a car into officers at a barricade outside the Capitol building and then emerged with a knife; authorities shot the suspect, who died at a hospital. Major League Baseball rescinded its decision to have Atlanta host the 2021 All-Star Game; the move came in response to a sweeping new voting law in Georgia that critics said would negatively affect communities of color. Rapper DMX was rushed from his home to a suburban New York hospital after going into cardiac arrest; he died a week later.

Chore for the day is to install a new disposer in the kitchen. Fun times.More power to you. I can't do any plumbing stuff like that, cause I can't get myself contorted enough to get under the sink. Or if I did, I feel like I'd never get back up.

Disposers are pretty easy, unless installed by assholes. Barring that, the work is done from a sitting position. Don't have to crawl in with it. Unplug from the wall, take out two screws for the drain pipe, loosen a third screw and pull the dishwasher hose off, slip a screwdriver into one of the eyes of the coupling and turn clockwise, and slip the old disposer out. Wipe up the inevitable drips. Disconnect the cord from the old disposer, wire it into the new one with wire caps, and anchor with electrical tape. Slip it into place and spin the coupler counterclockwise, hook the drain back up, hook the dishwasher hose back up. Make sure everything's tight, turn on the water, run the new disposer, and check for leaks. Done.Chore for the day is to install a new disposer in the kitchen. Fun times.More power to you. I can't do any plumbing stuff like that, cause I can't get myself contorted enough to get under the sink. Or if I did, I feel like I'd never get back up.
To make the wife sympathetic, scatter tools everywhere, cuss a lot, mutter about the damned engineers who design this shit, and pretend to hurt yourself a coupla times. Then, when it's done and you've put a the tools away, she'll say, "Thank you so much. It's wonderful. You're amazing. You should go have a drink and a cigar."

My wife earns approximately 10% of the household gross income. And her niece and grandnephews are allowed to live in our home, with my full support, while we try to show them how to manage their lives. You know, like, you have to go to work and pay your bills on time and such, even if you're an expert welfare queen (which my wife's niece is, by every conceivable definition).
So the exchange for that is I get my laundry done and I get dinner cooked for me five nights a week, and I get appreciated for making sure the plumbing works, the cars run as they should, and the roof doesn't leak.
Yeah, I know, I'm a sexist, Fascist Republican asshole.

And as she works evenings, most dinners are made by me, for myself and the kids.Well, you're fucking this up for the rest of us, unless you can assure us that your wife is earning at least 40% of your household gross income. If that's the case, you can ignore any criticism from me.No, but clearly you've allowed her to become accustomed to expecting too much from you. Are you not getting the man-card advisory e-mail notifications?You've clearly never met my wife.Disposers are pretty easy, unless installed by assholes. Barring that, the work is done from a sitting position. Don't have to crawl in with it. Unplug from the wall, take out two screws for the drain pipe, loosen a third screw and pull the dishwasher hose off, slip a screwdriver into one of the eyes of the coupling and turn clockwise, and slip the old disposer out. Wipe up the inevitable drips. Disconnect the cord from the old disposer, wire it into the new one with wire caps, and anchor with electrical tape. Slip it into place and spin the coupler counterclockwise, hook the drain back up, hook the dishwasher hose back up. Make sure everything's tight, turn on the water, run the new disposer, and check for leaks. Done.Chore for the day is to install a new disposer in the kitchen. Fun times.More power to you. I can't do any plumbing stuff like that, cause I can't get myself contorted enough to get under the sink. Or if I did, I feel like I'd never get back up.
To make the wife sympathetic, scatter tools everywhere, cuss a lot, mutter about the damned engineers who design this shit, and pretend to hurt yourself a coupla times. Then, when it's done and you've put a the tools away, she'll say, "Thank you so much. It's wonderful. You're amazing. You should go have a drink and a cigar."
I tend to mute most notifications.
My wife earns approximately 10% of the household gross income. And her niece and grandnephews are allowed to live in our home, with my full support, while we try to show them how to manage their lives. You know, like, you have to go to work and pay your bills on time and such, even if you're an expert welfare queen (which my wife's niece is, by every conceivable definition).
So the exchange for that is I get my laundry done and I get dinner cooked for me five nights a week, and I get appreciated for making sure the plumbing works, the cars run as they should, and the roof doesn't leak.
Yeah, I know, I'm a sexist, Fascist Republican asshole.
As for household chores, most of those are also me. She has several medical concerns which make it difficult to her to conribute in that arena, so I do what I have to do to make sure the house runs as smoothly as possible with 3 daughters aged 12-15. According to most people over 55 or ardent viewers of Fox News or OANN, this makes me either a sucker, whipped or half a man. The opinions of these people, or anyone else for that matter, could not concern me less, so I take no offense to anything you said, critical or otherwise.
I don't watch Fox news.
