WTF? I thought he was gonna turn the brass into diamond in some kinda gigantic press. No, instead he makes a brass setting for a diamond! (it was brass right? I mean who would have a golden fucking 1/2" nut?) Sure, that's going to go over big as it turns green. Very strange indeed.

Definitely, Monte is going to have to go over there and build them a trebuchet
Turns out they already have a couple.

Hopefully, I'll get to see one in action on Thursday.

Did I ever tell you guys about making a model treb out of K'nex with my son when he was like 6? We had lots of fun targeting the cats.

I've got a soft spot for old Industrial buildings. The 19th century ones are the coolest, but later ones hace some appeal too, like this Brutalist era Winery. It's for sale in France and if I had Fuck you money I'd be tempted.

My office would be in the center at the top so I can look down on the plebs toiling at making me Vino.

My view would be awesome, and Monte could bring serve me tasty treats to go with my latest vintage
