What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
Friday! Finally! Have a great weekend everybody!
ReplyDeleteMy coworkers think I'm weird since I recently acquired a VCR.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie as a kid is "My Neighbor Totoro" and it's a Japanese cartoon (anime). Fox released it in the US in 1989 on VHS. It was released in 2005 as a DVD but by Disney with different voice actors so I can't stand it. So now I can watch my favorite movie.
This weekend, Time Warner is coming to fix my service since I set everything up right and they couldn't fix it over the phone. I also have a 5mi road race. And I'll be heading to my moms/grams house to stay overnight since I don't see my gram as much as she'd like (though more now that I live in Maine than when I lived in CT). I'll be going through my childhood stuff and tossing/donating since they're trying to do a clean out...
The teacher video is great. I shared it with several teachers and many said they already saw it at a training!
ReplyDeleteAs part of my job I have to do filings with the federal government and I have to use Explorer to log onto those sites. I guess they have problems with change, too.
On Sunday I have a 5-hour strategic planning session. We are dissolving the organization that is affiliated with a national group and starting a local organization that focuses more on what we need here. It will be good in the end but the process will be long and somewhat tedious.
Love the Kevin Bacon commercial!
ReplyDeleteI am free as a bird because I'm not on-call and was able to scoot out a little early from work. I plan on doing a lot of house chores because I've been seriously slacking on that. When I see clean flat surfaces, I'll feel like I accomplished something. I do have a meeting in the morning that I'm leading (good grief I just remembered that!) so I'll be up early and out the door. The pooches got baths/grooming this week so they are excited to go to the park to strut their stuff. =o) Have a super duper weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour comment about internet explorer made me laugh. I still use my AOL.com email address and my friends give me all kinds of crap about it. I'm not too hip on change either!! Have a good weekend :).
