That "happy place" is sadly missing some vintage computers. (and also in a No Parking zone)
My "somewhat happy place":
I'm also reasonably happy in this room:
I must admit that I learned a few things from Jeff Varasano (who resides well within the "Pizza belt") - although he knows nothing of Canadian flour, which requires radical changes to his dough recipes.
How did this thread get to pizza? You want to see pizza? Well, do you... punk? I grew the oregano. I grew the tomatoes. I even grew the damn basil. OK... I didn't grow the cows that make the cheese... but it was local to my island, I swear! Now THIS is a pizza.

I remember when "old people" were people born in the Victorian era. That generation is now long gone. These days, old people were hippies in the 60's.
I once had a long conversation with a guy born in 1893. He was still bitter about the fact that the Canadian government lied when they...
If anything involves potential breakage, I leave it alone. I've had a couple disasters that still haunt me. I do my half-assed best to get it working, but don't want to do anything that might make it worse.
Of course I clean everything and make it as neat as possible without causing damage to...
