Title: Thursday - August 19, 2021
Post by: ReadingBob on August 19, 2021, 06:58:33 AM
Morning all,

The great thing about working from home is I can use my lunch hour to knock out to-do's around the house so I don't have to deal with them over the weekend.  Today's chore will be picking up a new fill valve for the toilet.  Maybe even installing it too. That leaves me more workbench time over the weekend.   ;)

Have a great one!

Morning,

I went looking for grass seed and apparently there is a shortage of seed because of the fires out west. This will be the new normal for the next two years.

Good Morning All,

I'll be at Dad's house today with another list of things to do.  Yesterday I added some dirt in areas of the mine tracks and practiced with the WS static grass applicator on a piece of scrap wood for the first time.

Tom I watched a video from the Magnolia Route and all I can say is WOW. I totally understand your inspiration.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all. Had an early Dr.s appointment this morning and another this afternoon so it will be a screwed up day. Getting a little better with sitting in a chair so I'm get close to start doing something. 👍👍

Back from UNH for their mandated pre-semester Covid test, and to pick up test gear for September (every other week for the vaccinated.)  We're getting some more rain in SE NH, the tail end of a tropical storm.  That's OK, we're still well under normal rainfall for the year, but the city says they should relax the mandatory drought restrictions next month.


And there's some bad news to report.  Duncan McRee, Tam Valley Depot, has been diagnosed with lung cancer (even though he never smoked...)  http://tamvalleydepot.com   A lot of his items are out of stock due to parts shortages :-( :-(  Plans going forward for the product line is unclear, based on Duncan's health, parts availability, etc.
