Do people seriously rage over a fortnight? I honestly thought raging only existed for NES Metroid or Mario Bros. Lost Levels.

Well, heās 8 (waaaay too young in my opinion to be playing any sort of game like that, but that is a whole different conversation), and if he gets massacred, itās the end of the world. Sulking, raging and tantrums ensue.
Iām not as nice as my brother is. Iāve got no qualms against taking the Switch away or putting parental controls in place that their dad canāt even get around.

It sounds like you would have good control of your kids. And itās funny to lock Daddy out of the switchāunless he knows how to get the master code.

I love him dearly but he recently had to buy my youngest nephew a brand new tablet because it was set up with new credentials and then everything was forgotten (and of course not written down). And factory resetting the bloody thing wouldnāt wipe the Google log-in stuff as a precaution against the tablet being stolen. I even called the manufacturer to figure out how to wipe it clean and you pretty much couldnāt without that log-in stuff.
I finally had it with my niece watching non-age-appropriate things on her tablet, and she got hit with my parental locks the last time I was up there. So they know already auntie doesnāt play. I do warn my brother what Iām going to do before I do it, but he trusts me and knows Iām not doing things just to be a jerk. Heās still figuring out the whole single dad thing, with smothering support from all of us helping him and the kiddos.

I had a hobby day with friends. Went to my LFGS and hung out building and painting stuff while shooting the breeze.

Messing around on Instagram (I knowā¦) found an artist named Punkey Doodles. Hysterical D&D animations, some are NSFW though.

What Iād do (if itās online games) is randomize the wifi password, then give them a text file with ~64k possible passwords. The password is in there, but they donāt know which one it is.

We got a whole 1/2 inch of rain last night!!! I could rain dance I am so happy. We might get some more today too which is fantastic.
Friday and Sat were spent doing ALL THE WORK, as usual sort of.
- Power washed the front of the house and sidewalk. Did not do the public sidewalk along the street.
- Power washed the South tall side of the house.
- Dismantled the ceiling fan/light on the screen porch to clean it and remove fan blades. Fan does not work and never has since I bought the house. Painted the metal motor cage blue instead of rusty beige/white.
- Painted the ceiling in the screen porch because it badly needed it, and because the fan was already apart!
- Weeded front gardens, cut back roses, mulched the front of the beds, hand dug the entire edge of the rock border for the beds. Gives me a nice weed free gap.
- Planted two Russian Sage plants in that front bed.
- Caulked the garage door in prep for finish painting.
- Dishes, laundry, floors, etc.
I am sort of glad it is hot and stormy today because I need a break!

Off to see quiet place day 1.
We got 2 inches of rain yesterday morning. We needed it. It was really hot and humid all day. Today itās dry and 62 out. So many up and down temps this year.
This morning was windy. My tomatoes are in boxes on the deck. They are pushed up against a shepherdās hook stuck in the ground on the edge. We zip tie them to the pole in case of thunderstorms. They blew over and off the deck. The pole snapped right off at ground level. Just a random really big gust of wind. No storms. Lost a bunch of green tomatoes. 
Never had a shepherdās hook snap off before. They are pretty sturdy.
