Ooooooh....
I just got a $60 pair of headphones for $6 and I haven't had headphones this good since my $70 pair broke about 5 years ago.
These are nice.

Out for my walk in a bit. Seems dry where I am now.

I got a new soundbar on the cheap that I just hooked up too.
Wow!
Anybody who doesn't have a cheap soundbar on their flat screen TV needs one. What a world of difference it makes. You don't even need to have subtitles on anymore because of the way it processes the sound. Those flat crappy speakers they need to put in the slim TVs just can't compete with the larger ones they could put in the old CRTs and projection screens. I thought I was losing my hearing a bit, but now I'm beginning to doubt that.
I don't really watch any TV or movies, so that's not what I even got it for. It will just be a bonus when somebody is visiting.
What I really wanted it for works better than I could have hoped too. I have an old cell phone from my mom that has all my music. I use it with crap headphones when I'm outside working on the yard.
Within seconds I was able to tether it to the speaker via bluetooth and now I can listen to all my jams on shuffle with a speaker that I could hear in any room in the house. Really nice bass too considering the pricepoint.
Wish I bought 4 of them now.

Put the final coat on the 2nd color of that piece of furniture I've been working on, and got the first coat on the garnishes. Needed to pull out my set of artist brushes for that. Still quite a bit away from being finished with it because of the extra care and attention this piece is getting, but it's been enjoyable to work on.
Looks like my buddy needs my help tomorrow, so I've got to start getting myself ready for an early morning.

Well, I managed to walk the dog in my hard-soled slippers w/o too much pain, so my toes are getting better!
Which buddy is this, SIX? The pool table buddy or the rental buddy? Just being nosy!

Out for my walk in the sunshine. Got to enjoy it before the next rain rolls in for next week.

Back from my walk on a almost Spring day.

Raining here. Today, tomorrow, and Monday and then probably no rain for at least a month. But, as you say BRENDA- we shall see!
So good days for indoor stuff.
I tried vacuuming with our big old Eureka cleaner but noticed it was spitting more dust than it was collecting. So I checked... yep, the bag was chock full of dust. Replaced that. Still not working. Removed the old HEPA filter thinking something was blocked. STILL not working. Finally daughter informed me she had switched the vacuum from "floor" to "hose" but didn't switch it back again. Well,with a new bag and HEPA filter it practically sucks the floorboards off the floor.
But in digging around in my utility closet for that HEPA filter, it was such a jumble of air and water filters and mop heads and vacuum cleaner parts I FINALLY put things in containers so it's easier to access.
On with the next thing...

Rental buddy.
Spent the day on my knees scrubbing and sponging cat piss off the HIGH baseboards in two rooms. It's pretty much a mansion (with a maid's room, even), and these baseboards are quite intricate and go up two feet high. My buddy didn't even know that it was cat piss all over the walls. He thought they just pissed on the floor. But I lived with 7 cats at my grandmas and I know what I got myself into.
Beyond gross. These people were total pigs.
I can tell he's suffering some severe burnout by working on the house after his full time job every night. I gave him a lot of praise with how far it's come since 3 or so weeks ago since I was last there. He really has made a ton of progress. There's just so much left to do though, and he doesn't have the luxury of time like I've got.
I'm going back there tomorrow. At least there's still a lot to clean. I don't want to do any more sanding of walls and ceilings. He can do that while I clean up cat piss. I'd much rather be cleaning cat piss.
