What I'm Reading This Week #23
Hello there! We made it to Friday. Halleluyer! Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week? No thanks. Oh yeah, you know what's fun? When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes. 😤 So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises. Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks. I mean for real, who sells those? I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes. So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything.

One day out of the blue I decided to just take the thing apart and see if I could fix it. I didn't fix it... but I also didn't totally break it. I put it all back together and it still worked, I just didn't know that the speaker needed a new solder and I was too young to realize that yet. But what I did realize was that I was not afraid to jump into anything electronic and see what I could do with it. That serves me well to this day.
