We have super hard water around here, and scale builds up everywhere. I fixed daughter's shower head a month or so ago by soaking it in vinegar. Our "rainfall" shower head was leaking out the top, so I took it off and soaked that too, and replaced the filter and washer. Unfortunately it's still leaking out the top, I think from the ball- socket fitting that allows you to adjust the shower head. But at least water is running out of all of the jets now.
We broke down and turned on the heat, since it's hitting 55 tonight. Set the thermostat to 65 bc otherwise the bedrooms get too warm for comfortable sleeping.

My heat is set at 53.
It was 73 today, so I managed to actually get the inside temp up to 70 degrees before closing the windows.
That's the end of the warm days. Mid 30's for the high by the weekend.
Picked up an entire trashcan full of branches and sticks, mostly from my neighbor's tree today. Decided against blowing any leaves since the winds were around 35MPH and the evil sycamore trees across the street haven't fully come down anyway. My tree has been bare for a week already now.
Cleaned up the house after that and my old man came over. He took me up to Menards and I got some primer and caulk and the 4 bats of insulation on sale. Hopefully they're even cheaper around black friday and I can do a trade in for a better price, but if not I'm OK with the price I paid today. I won't be installing it until the spring anyhow.
He told me that the porch is better than he ever imagined it could look.
I'm not going to work on the table tonight. No reason to rush it since all of my work is going to be indoor work for the next 4 months or so. That's a tomorrow project.

I was assaulted by Christmas music at the dentist office on Monday. It's only the beginning of November.

Oh no!
But you should count yourself lucky, I would think Brenda. Maybe in Canada the creep hasn't been as bad as here in the states, but back when I was working overnight at K-Mart in the mid 2010's we already had to hear Christmas music while the Halloween merch was still on the racks.
I remember fondly helping my buddy Ed put all of the poseable skeletons in suggestive positions while listening to the song that Paul McCartney has apologized on many occasions for unleashing upon the world.
I can do about one week of Christmas music per year. That's it.

Out for my walk in a bit on a cold day. Just a couple of small things to do.

Maybe the creep of Christmas music is getting slower as I haven't noticed any on in the local malls. Which is a relief.
Now, the Christmas merch started creeping in along with the Halloween stuff. And that's been going on for years.
Now, that is funny SIX.
You know I wonder what Paul McCartney is talking about. Will have to look that up later. One week then you are a better person than me, SIX. Usually when I start hearing that I want to rip the wiring out of the speaker system and that is what happened at the dentist on Monday.

Off to do my laundry and then get a walk in.
Computer acting strange this morning. Icons on task bar wouldn't show up until I hit main icon for google chrome. Then I had my malware icon show up and go then skype show up and go. Don't know what is happening.

I don't know what to suggest except try rebooting. If you have the option try rebooting in safe mode.
Have you clicked on any strange email or website links lately?

I'll keep that in mind SIG as when I turned it on about 15 minutes ago it was fine.
Nope and no links outside the music stuff from YouTube that I posted here.

Oh... you're no doubt a better person than me, Brenda.
Yeah. We had a lot of fun with those skeletons. We'd put hats and other costume stuff on them too when we were posing them. It's pretty hilarious because the cameras were on all the time so they knew who was doing it, but if they fired me and Ed they'd be even more screwed than they already were so nobody even bothered to tell us to stop doing it and they'd just fix them every morning.
Oh... come on now. You have to know what Paul McCartney song I'm talking about. One of the worst Christmas songs ever made. An evil little ear worm that will never leave your head once Christmas comes around because they play it constantly.
