Well, the whole house is stinking like a skunk or coyote urine. I think Molly (my choc lab) ran through some on her walk in the woods, as she also smells. Have to wait for it to warm up a bit more before she goes to the pet wash at the local car wash (a massive tub with a ramp to lead her up into it, as she refuses to get into the shower or bathtub at the house). 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left at 11:10 for an 11:35 appointment, arrived 10 minutes early, and now I'm back home at 12:30 telling you all about it. I'm pretty sure that's the fastest I've ever managed to conduct business at any DMV, ever. Sadly not the case for us (or so it wasn't two months ago). You had to wait in line in your car to tell them what you wanted, and then park and wait for them to call you in. But restrictions have been lifted this past week (whether for good or ill we'll learn soon enough) so it might have changed. Our local Walmart took reopened all the entrances/exits that were closed, took down all the signs telling you which direction to go down each aisle (that people still couldn't seem to follow) and half the customers weren't wearing masks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what could be a better way to spend money than to have new wiring installed so there aren't any spontaneous electrical fires, all the lights work, and using the microwave doesn't blow the kitchen fuse every time? Hope the job goes smoothly. I know, right??? It's not a glamorous renovation, but I'm hoping that including a few new fixtures helps us appreciate the upgrade in a tangible way. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it was being caused by interference from one villagers old television https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54239180 My youngest son and I found that article hilarious.

Adept Legacy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Well, I bought some cheap sealing crap from my local michaels. Wish me luck. I guess that explains the $55/can price on Amazon for Dullcote. Second day back in the office is significantly less heinous than the last. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when the power goes out while we're all trapped at home we'll be able to at least keep our freezer, fridge and furnace on. Or we won't lose power and that will also be JUST FINE BY ME!!!

Hope the job goes smoothly. It's a lovely dream... (in our case, it was, for a while anyway, cold-boot my computer; blow the breaker for Andi's office (what.). I no longer have my box on a UPS, so that doesn't happen anymore, but... it takes very little to blow that breaker, and I am terrified to contemplate why. Also, just for something different, one of the cats left a mouse in the bedding, where I found it this morning. A once-living, little grey mouse, not a felt or otherwise fake mouse. I don't know which cat was actually responsible; none of the three on the bed when I woke up would take credit. Such mighty hunters... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'm wiped and my back is shot and all I did was fill the dishwasher. In other news, I'm getting the diorama going. I decided to add something else to fill some space. I /really/ want a mini, preferably plastic and in scale with Bones and is like 1920s-esque) that is kneeling down and inspecting the ruins I'm going to make. I already have a standing professor guy. Not a hard ask at all... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
