Managed to get a paper into the recycling but some yutz put a bunch of cut-up boxes on top of the other bins and they went onto the bin I had to use. Some people. So, until that is hauled away, I can't take down any more paper.

Watched the first episode of "Swamp Thing" tonight. Not bad. But I'm not much on DC stuff.

I got ya. I'm not in any position to help with it right now myself. Most of my stuff is packed away since I didn't want to be tempted to work on it while I have all of this much more important stuff to work on, so I wouldn't have been able to help right now anyhow other than to give advice.

People working the last few decades on this stuff as well as advances in technology have made the entire process much easier than it was when I first got into 2 decades ago, but the barrier to entry is still pretty high unless you're pretty tech literate, and even then it requires a lot of work.

That is... unless you know somebody who's done a lot of the work already.


I think this is a good thing though. When something like this gets to be so easy that anybody with a smartphone can do it in 3 seconds it all tends to get shut down overnight.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Guess I don't have to wonder if it's going to rain while I'm gone. Woke up this morning to thunderstorms. Like 8 hours earlier than it was predicted we'd get them. Dorian must have everybody all f'd up right now.

Doesn't look as though I'm taking on any water right now anywhere, and the bare wood I put in yesterday and didn't paint yet hasn't gotten wet yet, but that's only because there's zero wind to go along with the storm right now. I don't expect that to be the case all day.

Anyway... see ya in a few.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

That was my problem at the old place but not of my own choosing.

Have a good trip and visit.

Ran into a lady that I know who lives in the area of where I used to be. She told me that she thinks that my old landlady has rerented that space I was in out again. I've only been gone about 4 months, I wonder if they fixed all they were "supposedly" talking about before I left. Feel sorry for the guy but maybe he won't stay too long once he really sees how crappy that place is.

Hey Brenda

I hope the new guy is young and strong and can tolerate the awful living conditions better.

KIKI, I'm amazed that you manage to stay functional and cogent with the weather the way it's been. Mid 90s here, there it's 10 degrees or more warmer, and WE have central AC!!!

Jeezuz it's been hot.
