And it’s still hot. Hoping for a little cool spell didn’t make it happen. What is wrong with the universe that it doesn’t bend to my will? Eh, gonna be hot and humid again today in all likelihood. And this weekend as well. It was certainly hot and humid yesterday, carrying on well into the night.
Heat and humidity? You’re soaking in it.
Did auction stuff in the morning, then did my pickups in the afternoon, with a bit of shopping thrown in. Well, buying more than shopping. Not much else of significance other than the kids had their first day back at school. Seemed to be fine with it too.
Today IDK what I’ll do. I think I’ll do a bit more cleaning on my auction purchase, and probably do some fence repair at the rent house. If I can do it with what I already have, I won’t have to bring anything home from the BOL, which is a plus. And since I need to stash my project for a day or two, I will probably go by the shop and try to get some work done there. If nothing else, I need to clear a path to the stuff for my upcoming show/event/convention. I’ll probably spend some time next week getting that stuff sorted and ready too.
I’ll keep working, and stacking, and maybe some small progress will be made.

Border? What border? Who needs a border? It’s modern design! Artistic! An architectural statement! Take your pick…
XX chromosomes. Cheek swab each athlete once, and done.
IMHO there are actually very few people who disagree with this, but – wow – are they loud. And the loudness has convinced way too many other people to not say anything, for fear of offending the loudmouths.
You were very bad 🙂 Why no knife? You cannot have too many knives. I have one in my pocket, one on my desk, one in my toolbox – those I use regularly. I’m sure I have others lying around that I’m forgetting about…
It’s only important if you are lonely. Church is easy, if you’re religious, otherwise any sort of hobby gathering. People are only strangers at first. My rule, if I visit a new group, is that I cannot drop out until I have been three times. That’s long enough that at least some of the people are no longer strangers.
But then, I am a hermit by nature. In my military days, there were occasional social events. I learned that I had to at least show up. Show my face, then quietly disappear at the first opportunity. Otherwise, people got offended.
I have a grandfather clock I inherited from my mother. Brought it back to Switzerland, because it holds a lot of memories. I’ve had it repaired before, and now it has stopped again. Apparently, this is pretty normal: repair or service every 10 years or so.
The thing is: it’s a big and complicated beast. I wouldn’t want to take it apart myself, so the jeweler has to disassemble it here, take it back to the workshop for repair, then visit again to reassemble. Total cost, depending on what needs done, can easily hit $1000.
Despite the sentimental value, I just can’t justify throwing a grand at it every few years.
