My aunt just told me today that in the last 40 days we've had one day of sunlight.

Today was not that day, I'm afraid.

I know, right. It's amazing the dude lived through it.

Hopefully Russia does lockout-tagout now. But even that's going to not work out the right way some times...



Number 6, in particular. (Failed assembly line stoppage)

Those treatments are putting a serious dent into every day. But aside from that, I managed to come up with a menu for the next week, and a grocery list, which for some reason took me twice as long as usual.

And then hubby decided to finish fixing the vacuum cleaner by cutting out the old switch and installing the new one. ...

Back in our old lab, there was a sign in fake German on one of our more powerful instruments (wavelength dispersive X-ray analyzer) that had to do with keeping fingers off (gefingerpoken) and it ended with "mitt spitzen sparken". I think you can tell how the rewiring went. Three blown circuit breakers later... hubby figured out how it should have been wired and it works. In the meantime, I replaced the motor (sponge) filter with a cut-to-fit old green scrubbie (bc we didn't have any replacements for that), and cleaned out the old HEPA filter by banging out about a teaspoon of black dust, and then taking it outside and using compressed air to blow more dust out. In between holding stuff while hubby was soldering, I also did some internet sleuthing and found a replacement HEPA for the 30-year-old vacuum cleaner.

At some point, the plastic body is going to be so brittle that nothing can be done to resurrect it, but it now lives to clean another day.
