Of course the flanged metal screws that would easily screw the suspension tape to the a/c vent to hold the pipe she’s putting in place of the crazed spiderweb of cords holding up hose that turned out to stretch twice its length when we turned the pump on—went missing. So it was wood screws with a washer. It was a bear of a job, but we now have secure hard piping between the living room and the basement. Then we found the screws we were looking for…
And meanwhile I was going to start washing the sand, but the weather is saying snow with the cherries and quince and apples in bloom, and me trying to do the early algae treatments on the pond…Oh, what was I doing this afternoon? Treating the pond with something derived from sewage…
Somebody called wanting a video interview and wanting to come to the house. I babbled something about my tank being delayed because of needing rock and pipes all over the house and Patty having a baby horse we need to get down there and see, so we are agreed to do this next Tuesday, downtown by the river, by which time I hope Jane and I can be somewhat saner and have water flowing in the tank…
Video interview = timing being everything. One hopes your oh-so-copious free time [/irony] can stretch to handle.
Snow?! WOT SNOW? S’posed to be 70-something today on the wet side of the Cascades, and 82 this weekend!
WEllll, as usual, they were wrong…. This area of the wet side hit mid-80s today… its currently 80 out in the shade on the cool side of my house, at 6pm…
Gotta love that “Chetco Effect” wind… I jokingly (well, sort of joking) describe it to my family back east as ‘air temperature 70, with a windchill of 90’
Rather like sticking your head in an oven… very warm and dry!
Yep—but it’s supposed to be 76 on Sunday.
And I’ve got to go outside and wash sand.
Ah, baby horses! Give the little dickens a pat from me. My avatar is no longer 3 weeks old, he’s a yearling. I will need to update when a decent pic is available. Right now, it goes snow, mud, (subject covered in said mud) snow, mud, dry day – groomed him, but no time to take photos. Dry days fall in the middle of the week, when I am late home (Murphy’s Law) and the sun has set. Then back to snow, mud, snow, mud. If the weather would just settle down for a few days, I might be able to stage a photo op…
Such a pretty baby you have. I love the pic.
Patty’s baby horse is about a week or so old, and we want to get down there before very much longer!
Thank you! He has turned my life upside down, but I thoroughly enjoy it.
