Moms is slacking off. Anytime I visit she gives me dozens, but they are always straight outta the chicken.

Did you wash the poo off the eggs before you started? If so; then, yeah, rinse it out and hang it back up.

Ohh, that looks good. Thank you my friend.

Wasn't there a Sriracha shortage this time last year too? Because I bought a bunch of it and then realized the post-underwood Sriracha was not the same. It's too sweet now with not enough heat.

Edit: yes there was.

Yeah, that side is more my speed, too. I built an arduino based compressor controller a few years ago when that went out. But this is something internal (high side pressure pegging the gauge 30 seconds after the compressor engages).

Took it by a friends shop to get it evacuated today and they agreed that my amateur assessment (dryer and expansion valve) was where they would start first. So I've got a bit more confidence going into it. Fingers and toes crossed I don't find a bunch of metal inside.

If it's a standard style toilet that's more than 10 years old, I would recommend one of these kits: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fluidmaster-PerforMAX-Universal-2-in-High-Performance-Everything-Toilet-Tank-Repair-Kit-with-Install-Tools/5001419031

I've been chasing small leaks and it running when it wasn't supposed to for a couple years now. I eventually bought the above kit and I wish I would have done that from the beginning. It replaces everything that leaks (except for the wax ring), was easy to install with good instructions, and came with all the needed tools. Now no more leaks, uses less water while still flushing as good, and is quieter overall. I also replaced the water line from the valve to the tank at the same time, That was another $4.

I'm going to attempt to fix my truck's air conditioning. Of course it waited until the weather was sweltering hot to stop working. I know just enough about refrigerant systems to be dangerous, wish me luck!

If that's successful and/or doesn't take all weekend, I'm going to try to build some temporary screening around my tiny back porch to give me somewhere to sit outside away from the mosquitos.

They do have a free plan. But would you trust any privacy service that didn't charge? Server time isn't free, so they are monetizing you somehow if they aren't charging you.

By multi-tool, do you mean a rotary tool like a dremel or one of the oscillating multi tool? Personally I haven't found much use for a use for a rotary tool in my home improvement adventures, but I have friends more into woodworking that love the oscillating multi tools.

In addition to the ones you listed, I would recommend a jig saw, circular saw, and optionally a belt sander. That will cover most small to medium home improvement projects. I found all 3 of those tools for less than $20 each looking around pawn shops. The jig saw is the most versatile, you can cut wood or metal with the right blade, it just doesn't excel at making straight cuts. That's where the circular saw comes in.

This is what I was coming to post. I never figured out dead-eye until my second playthrough.

Shoot, I'd buy one with the chalk outline still in the kitchen if the price is right.
