Alberta referendum vote

by

I think gone are the days of the average Canadian being apathetic in voting, or so it seems by the people cuing to get in.  I waited for just over an hour.  One of the people behind me could only stand for so long, so I went home and got a folding chair.  We slowly inched up to the hall to vote.

morning

by

Morning Routine
I generally wake up, turn my coffee pot on, enter receipts into Microsoft Money, upload previous (yesterday’s) pictures, and write my construction blog.

Morning Hair
I generally don’t have a shower every day now.  Why bother when I’m just going to get dirty during construction?

Morning Off
This is my first day off in many, many weeks.

long hours, tennis elbow, whow

by

Been working long hours recently, getting 1403 up ready.  Both arms have had tennis elbow for two weeks.

The suite won’t be ready in time, so I’ll have to make two deals with the tenants

  • For every day that necessities are still being worked on while the tenant occupies the suite, I’ll cut rent in half.
  • For every day that finish work is done (trim boards, light switch covers, cabinet pulls, etc.), I’ll let them decide what days I come in.

Not idea, I know, but a compromise must be reached.

Also, why isn’t how spelled whow to create 6 Ws rather than the 5 Ws plus how?

Taber corn

by

I got some Taber corn this afternoon.  It was $11 for a 11 cobs with 1 extra thrown in.  However, in the bag of a dozen cobs, I counted 23!  He doubled the amount of corn!  Wow.

We’ll freeze most of it to have during winter.

AI screw-ups (or, Hello Again Dolly)

by

Artificial intelligence can sometimes be useful, but when I saw this, I nearly choked (as Mom would say):

So, apparently, Dolly Parton is still alive and doing well.  Good gravy.  Callous!  Have some respect!  Someone somewhere should be fired.  How do you fire AI?

I did a check to see if my ongoing letter shows up on search engines like Google.  Sure enough, it does.  It is apparently ” a long-running personal blog and online diary format called the Ongoing Letter.”  Well that’s good to know.

swollen eye

by

I had a hard time driving home from 520 yesterday evening.  I was going to do an all-nighter but couldn’t because of a sore eye.

I was cutting slots in the countertop MDF to fit the faucets.  I wasn’t wearing my safety glasses because a) I couldn’t find them and b) they don’t work as well as they should when lying on one’s back and looking up.

I used eye wash last night that I bought for Floyd just a few weeks back.  It helped, and the debris is gone, but my eye is still swollen.

Back to work as soon as I get done my coffee.
