Title: Friday - 06/04/2021
Post by: ReadingBob on June 04, 2021, 06:35:39 AM
Morning all,

T.G.I.F!  I have some chores to complete out in the garage this weekend.  I'm cleaning off shelves and removing them so an electrician can run a line for a controller for the irrigation system in the coming weeks.  I have a company coming out to repair and upgrading the irrigation system before they put new sod in.  Hopefully I'll soon have grass (or what passes for grass in FL) to mow rather than weeds. 

The wonderful world of Howard Zane.

Have a great one!

Morning,

Yup! You cannot buy a replacement circuit card for the Sun Joe dethatcher, so I will just replace the Triac on it to see if that fixes the problem of not starting.

Morning, all.


TGIF, as I'm off for four whole days.  Several chores are on tap.  Landscaper coming today to talk about mulch, retaining walls, removing some bushes, etc.  Need to mow, but get gas first.  My new weed wacker is supposed to come today.  Need to get the car washed for the first time in forever.  I was vacuuming it out on Sunday when our 30 year old whole house vac unit crapped out.  In a very rare Iowa City incident, I called the guy who installed it 30 years ago, and had a new one installed the next day.   :o   Need to clean the basement before the kids come for Father's day as well.

Morning all.

TFIF.

Even though I have work to do, I can't resist firing up the laser today and making the first test — a cupola, with a hole for a Tichy window.

Enjoy your Friday!

Good morning! Good luck with finding the short Tom. I'm heading out on a fishing trip with my Grandkids. I hope everyone has a great day. Here is another F&SM picture.

Curbside sign on our local gourmet donut shop last night was proclaiming today "National Donut Day". Haven't had time to check that this morning, but if it's true, celebrate! If not, go ahead any way. Where's Jaime when you need him most?

This morning I went to the podiatrist and dropped the dogs off for grooming.  They always coming back looking like stuffed toys. 

Still missing modeling motivation.  I verified the cost for scaffolding to finish the (1-1 scale) shutters on the 2nd story, I'll tackle those 6 pair late next week when the weather turns more seasonal.  Today it's only humid, for the next 4 days it'll be hot & humid.
