I used to be like that. Now I hardly go anywhere without a hat or toque depending on the temperature. I don't have a solar panel though. I'm still powered by hate and caffeine.

Hats give me headaches after a while. Unless they're so loose-fitting that it falls off into the sink when I bend down to wash my hands.

Build her a she shed.

My grandpa, when he was 72 years old, built a workshop at his house in Tennessee. Entirely by himself except a contractor brought in the concrete. Grandpa smoothed it all out and built the forms for the half basement, as this was built on a hill, descending away from the entry. And my dad said he helped him with the roof, carrying up shingles.
It's about a 1 car garage at driveway height, and the rear, at lower elevation has a lawnmower shed underneath but you have to duck or you'll hit your head on stuff.
It was his woodworking shop where he did high end stuff.
He died in 1999 and then my grandma died in 2022. My aunt sold her house and bought out dad's half interest in Grandma's house, so now it's my aunt's house.
Ok lemme explain my aunt real quick, my dad's little sister. She's in her 70's now.
Always a goody two-shoes, super girly, super Christian, never misses church. She's always decorated her houses, inside & outside, in super girly ways. Big fancy koi ponds, tire swings, flowers everywhere, etc..
She decided Grandpa's woodworking shop would be her she-shed.
She decided that before my grandma even died.
When I was down there for the funeral, I went into Grandpa's shed to get the extension ladder so I could change a burnt out floodlight, and it was just HORRIBLE what she'd done to it.
Grandpa left it unfinished. No interior walls, just open studs.
My aunt painted the tar paper white, and the studs PINK. An old kitchen cabinet my grandpa put in for tool storage, is still full of his tools, but she painted them white and pink too.
A pink rug is on the floor and in the middle of the shop there's a child-size table, a fancy one with fake gold plated frame and clear glass top, with little toddler size chairs, and there are homemade dolls in the chairs, and there's a fancy tea set on the table.
On the workbench she's got a fancy doiley and a bunch of little ceramic figurines.
And the windows have curtains that are like diagonal striped pink and white.
She's in her 70's and still plays with dolls
Eccentricity definitely runs in the family.
Sarah was with me and saw it & said she wants me to build her a she shed.
She's just as childish and girly as my aunt.
I said "nope"

I have a 12X16 shed in the back yard and my garage. I know how to escape when I need too.

In Gord we trust!
I once spent a good six hours changing a heater fan motor on my ex-gfs Mercury Sable.
It's a 20-minute job at best. I was just hiding out.
She would bring me out beer while I was working on this "massive" project!
