Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
In an attack of brilliance, I called Lowe’s to ask them the weight of these panels…
The ones we have, that is. Since they list every other parameter on their website but weight. The answer is 45 pounds. Yay! Jane and I together could have done it if it were twice that, but we'd so much rather lug 45 pounds than 90. We're also hoping the installers...

Permit in hand, and contract signed, fence materials waiting…
I get a call from Rick, the fence guy stating the utility people are going to come to mark the buried lines. Fine. And I should paint white on my fence (dark red)...so,,,, huh? I say, turn the telly off and ask him to repeat that. Yep. I went out and nailed two dish...
We got the new filter in—and today we get the building permit…and call the fence guy…
We're hoping for a smooth app and permit downtown---it's only a mile or two from here. The weather for this operation is sketchy, but that's the season: typically it rains often, but no gully-washers (Southern US term for a large downpour) or toad-stranglers...
A diatribe on big-box hardware stores: forgive me, I’ve had another soaking-wet epiphany
What's wrong with big-box hardware stores? You go there to replace an icebox water filter. Naturally you go to Plumbing. Now, Lowes has a Whirlpool filter which takes a shove-connect 1/4 inch tube---but half the time one of the other tube inserts won't take and it...

OMG—the fence is here.
We haven't gotten our permit. We haven't lined up help to take down the old fence. They told us two weeks. [racing in useless circles, here] typical, typical of our projects!
Spring has truly sprung here…iris are sending up shoots, buds on trees…
are increasing. The pond is now clear, clear to the bottom. All our fishes are happy. I can't feed them yet. I'm doing the final edit on the NEXT Foreigner book before writing the ending. The house is a mess. But we are bringing order out of that chaos. Slowly. While...
April Fool’s day…
Beware. Articles you read won't necessarily be on the level.

Another quote from the Science Channel…
From How It's Made. "...quote from How It's Made...Science Channel... "Now full of sweet fruit, the worker positions the crust over the pie..." Discuss. [facepalm]
OMG—accidentally caught a bit of Ancient Aliens by error…while trying take a nap….
...I was SO tired, but I could feel my brain draining. Aliens from across the galaxy coming here to mine gold to replenish their atmosphere... I had to get up. The stupid was so strong in that program... I had to turn it off. The stupid was so strong it could alter...
