Im very sure I'm not mad at you.
You're like the guy in my typing ckass. He was short for a guy but bc he was built like a refrigerator and fast he was on the football team. Real nice guy, not puffed up like some of the others on the team. Anyway, he had sausages for fingers but he typed like a demon.
Me? I'm a terrible typist. No matter how much I practiced I could never get it right,I had to drop typing in HS bc it was bringing my grade down! Anyway, I mostly post from my phone, no typing involved. Between the characters being so close together, auto fill/ autocorrect and bad eyesight it makes for a lot of funny mistakes.

Well... the irony for me is that my Typing class DID bring my grade down. The teacher we had was real nice and cool and a group of about 5 of us probably got away with more in her class than we should have. She was gone one day and we had one of our 5 typing tests which was our only markers for our grade for the semester. It was also the final one, which was worth more than any of the others. The rest of us decided somwhere along the way that it would be a good idea to just copy Gary's work and turn it in so we could clown around while the substitute teacher was there.
Great plan, until we all got the same 5 mistakes on the paper.
I could tell that it broke her heart to do it, but we all got a Zero on that test, including Gary. Gary and I were the only ones of the five that still passed the class... With a "D". The other three had to finish it in summer school.
Despite that fact, I still tell people that the only thing I learned in 12 years of public education that made me any money in life was that one semester keyboarding class. She really was a great teacher.

Got a new toy for my auto shop. 50% off an impact wrench that works with all of my existing batteries. Between that and my tire inflator I might have to get a bag with a good seal and keep them all in my trunk with a charged battery in case I ever get stuck with a problem on the road.
It will sure be nice using the impact wrench to change my tires and brakes in the future instead of using hand tools.
Now I just need to get a good jack instead of the crappy scissor jack that comes with the car.

Oh, nice!
Have fun with your new toy!
I have one of those "starter batteries", just in case.

Those are great to have. I had one of those that got quite a bit of use on one of my older cars. It had all the bells and whistles too.
But then I decided one day that it would be a good idea to use it to power a saw to cut out a stump that was too far for any of my extension cords.
Instant sparks, smoke and regret.
I don't think the battery would have been any good on it anymore though anyways. That was 10 years ago or more by now, and it was already 5 years old when I did it.
I've got a trickle charger in my car and a beast of a charger in the garage, but they wouldn't do me any good on the road. I always have my jumper cables in my trunk. I don't really drive all that much, and I never drive anywhere remotely where there isn't anybody else. I can be pretty persuasive when I need to be.
But yeah. That's been on the list of things to get. I just haven't been able to bring myself to buy one because of the price tag. The one I had was awesome, and even had a light and a AM/FM radio. It was $80 back in the mid-aughts. Can't get anything close to that for $80 these days, and usually it's not even by a brand name I've ever heard of.

Went to see Hamilton on the weekend. Loved the music and learnt a bit about US history.

That's nice.

But I doubt that is a thing that happened while watching Hamilton.
