Good morning!!!!

Good Morning! 48F @ 6:30AM. Sunny. High around 70F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

Spent most of yesterday upgrading Apple hardware to the latest and greatest OS. Main laptop went according to plan, but all the rest fought tooth and nail to resist. Apple's iCloud and two factor authentication played a role, as did slow or unresponsive Apple servers. It's important to know the difference between a password, a verification code, and a pass code, as each needs to be used at the right time and resetting any of them leads to more confusion. It took several attempts to get the iPhone SE and the iPad Pro updated, and the 17" MacBook Pro required a full on OS recovery mode install. Just plain gave up on the Apple TV. Lots of head scratching trying to figure out what to do when, easily the worst upgrade experience with Apple products to date.

With so much time on my hands waiting on things to download and install, I did get a little time in the garage. Put the speedo back in the built up housing and drilled new holes for two mounting screws. One screw held fine, the other promptly stripped. For some reason the drill I used spun the hole diameter out, so I mixed up another batch of epoxy, made sure the hole went all the way through, and used a popsicle stick to push the epoxy all the way through the hole. I'll try again in a couple of days. Two steps forward, one step back. Guess that's better than the other way around.

TGIF gang!

45ｰF and cloudy this morning, going up to a balmy 50ｰ today. We got a little rain overnight, but looks like we'll be dry until Sunday.

Carpenter came back yesterday and finished a few things; installed the hood over the stove, finished the backspash and grout, and fixed a leak with the faucet. The kitchen is now complete(-ish). :drink:
Wife celebrated by cooking steaks on the stovetop center grill last night. :licking:

Interesting to note that Lowe's fix for the measurement mistake was to add another upper and base cabinet at the end on the other side of the 'fridge. The upper cabinet they sent ... wait for it ... was the wrong size. It's 3" shorter than the rest of the upper cabinets. A couple of replacement doors they sent were also too short. (sigh)

Here's a closeup of the granite countertop.

Wishing you the best with your Mother, Don.

I like that countertop, we would need darker, but I do like it.

Don, I hope they can get your mom's pain dealt with. Also for smooth surgery and recovery.

Making a cool aluminum manifold block with some vectored holes on our 5 axis mill today. Fun fun.

Very nice PJS. Now you got me hungry for steak...Thinking I should eat some fish though.

Frost when I got up, foggy now, expected to be in 50s. Grass is really getting the green on.

Had to go to ER last night. My wife had cut a piece of her fingernail off prepping some bells peppers for snacks mid morning. She was able to stop bleeding but when our daughter took the bandage off to check things, it bled a bunch. They bandaged it and after talking to doc, decided ER was the plan.. short wait to check in, short wait to triage, long wait (2hrs) to be roomed, more waiting for nurse, more waiting for doc (PAC), more waiting while he chased down supplies he needed... got home after 2am, took over an hour for me to fall asleep, running on empty today. Wife is doing much better (they numbed her finger, so she did not have pain and was able to get some sleep)..

It's those rubber tape measures. Blame it all on rubber tape measures!:shocked:

But if you hadn't mentioned it, I'd never been able to tell from the photos. Looks real nice, especially the granite!:thumbsup:

When I saw the picture of the granite, it reminded me of the head teacher at our infant school - she always wore a dress with that sort of pattern.
She was nice and so is you countertop PJ. :thumbsup:

Hawkeye, hope your wife is doing better and you get some rest.
