Talking elevators. What does it say?

"Please stand clear of door"
"First floor, going up (or down)"?

Had a CT scan in prep for more treatment

But still, managed all the daily chores plus a dry mopping/ sweeping/ vacuuming of the floors, and boy did they need it! The dog has been lightly shedding and there was dog fur all over the place! Such a relief to see clean floors again!

Yup. Nothing that dramatic SIG.

It just says, "Lobby" when it reaches the lobby or "parking" when it gets to where the parking and garbage is. Coming back in today it said, "10th floor" when I got off on my floor which is 10.

Tons of work done the last two days. I glued and clamped a jacked up piece of baseboard around my aunt's new kitchen and cleaned out all the moldy crap and re-caulked her bathtub to the tiles and whitened all the grout.

Went to my grams after that and managed to install a new light in her bathroom, glued quite a few plastic tiles that had fallen off the walls back up, fixed one horribly busted leaky window before caulking it and making it water tight as well as cleaning up and caulking the other minor leaky window, then I patched up the ceiling that was damaged from the major leak. Even managed to get a game of Up Words in with her before I left.

No dice on either of my car monitors clearing yet though. Hopefully the weather will finally start warming up around here so I can stop fighting with the fact that it's probably too cold for them to even run before my emissions deadline.

We'll see if I'm up to doing the rock thing tomorrow. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks without a real day of rest and it's really catching up with me right now.

Out for my walk in a bit on a bright and dry day. Have to go to the library as "Shang-Chi" is waiting pick up and return Season 5 of Shetland.

Have to say that Duncan and Jimmy are quite the pair. Duncan is just a disaster and Jimmy is trying so hard.

That's practical. The talking elevators at my health care facility say "Please stand clear of door" ... but nothing as useful a what floor you're on!!

Duncan, Duncam tsk tsk

Seems like Jimmy is always picking up the pieces from Duncan's bad decisions, including a wife and daughter.

Rocks?

SIX, I had to look back and see what you wanted to do with rocks. How big are you talking about? River rocks? Boulders? Trying to picture.

A word about rocks - they're hard to weed between/around. Also, if you have voles, moles, ground squirrels etc accessing the tunnels can be rough. And any in-ground repair you might need to do would require moving them out if the way.

But they DO look nice!
