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...
This IS the longest short-week ever! And as of this morning my Microsoft Band 2 is now listed as expected by January 23rd and Amazon even says I am entitled to a refund if not received by then. Just makes me wonder what the heck our post office is doing, given that we haven't gotten mail in two days and the status on their site is cryptic "item held at post office. Retrieved from parcel locker". WTH???
ReplyDeleteSounds like you'll have to make a trip to the post office to figure it out. Blech. I hope this gadget is better than the last one you tried.
ReplyDeleteShort weeks do feel extra long for some reason. I can't explain it, but it always seems that way. Then again it wasn't a short week for me and it still seems like a really long week. But even then, there's never time enough to get everything done.
We got a good dumping of snow in early January and then followed that up by bitter cold. So now its starting to get into low double digits again and its snowing again. I prefer the snow to the bitter cold anytime though.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to some of the 2 feet+ of snow they are forecasting for us to get starting sometime Friday. The Capital Weather Gang said in one forecast, "Wherever you are Friday evening, plan to be there through Sunday and possibly Monday." Yeah, not looking forward to this weekend at all.
