Is Jack knife sofa what folds into a bed? Ours is 2 person, too short to sleep on.
yes
less expensive for oem to make vs folding hide a bed
the better couch sits about an inch higher which is good for me
so I now have a jack knife sofa in my basement
anyone want one free for garage furniture???

good morning all
warm and sticky out, light drizzle out, cloudy and high of 83

have some errands to run downtown this morning but want to pick up some chocolates for friend's wife's birthday, am told
dark chocolate pecans are her favorite, we have a nice chocolate/candy shop in town. Fun to go in there, when he first opened up almost 40
years ago I wrote his insurance. He sold that business, got bored, and started another chocolate store. I don't think it's anything particularly fancy or unique but at least it's local and fresh. I'm taking two boxes of his chocolate out to California on my big trip, will be kept frozen which he said was fine.
His kids and my sisters two boys went to same local school, so since he knows her sons, he will put something extra in the boxes for their two families.

local pharmacy said since Wegovy is not available, sold out due to incredible demand, his pharmacy and other compounding pharmacies are
authorized to make it themselves. I asked where the ingredients come from and he said the same US place the other pills come from. Ok.
So he fills up the four syringes for my weekly shot and it costs me 70 dollars a shot, not 200 dollars a shot.
He told me 15 percent get nausea but otherwise it seems to work.
I just had to order an XXL shirt because my new XL shirt bought for this trip shrunk after washing and was too tight.
very depressing to go up a size, so I have to do this. Will try it for six months and see what happens. I'm told if you stop taking it, the weight
comes back on, which with my daily steroid meds, is very likely.

I simply do not want to be XXL...

Good Morning
71° overcast with a chance of rain. High of 80 forecast.

Yesterday was a good day in the old folks home. Electric is just about wrapped up, boiler and radiant heat plumbing is under air pressure and holding, after I soldered two joints that I forgot and reflowed one on a zone valve that I didn’t get hot enough. That one was a bugger to find, wasn’t enough to blow soap bubbles, had to bring out the big guns to find it, the Accutrak and endoscope.

But I prevailed in the end.

A few circuits left to run, but the electrical inspector is coming today.

As long as the rain holds off the roof is going on today, I’ve got to take care of the penetrations for the plumbing and bathroom vents, but I’m heading out to breakfast with professor shortly.

Also old friend is coming to visit from CA and stay with us for a few days. He’s an architect, but took flying lessons with me in the late 60’s. He didn’t stick with it, but we usually go flying somewhere when he visits.
He is interested in the building project, not sure what else we will get into.

73 and foggy. Going to 88. We got .10" of rain last night...5 days of off and on rainy drizzle, and now our total is up to 1/4 " ...sure hoping for more.

Took advantage of the little shower early yesterday to mow the grass (mostly seed stalks) for a couple of hours before the ground totally dried. Still have more to do.

Phil, that's the best yet! Super wow!

Plow, we have bobcats, but I'm sure glad no cougars (although they're reported occasionally in the Virginia mountains. Keep Rigby safe!

Had a skunk walk halfway up the driveway yesterday evening. Pretty one...nearly all white...I tried to scare if off...yelling and waving and throwing pine cones from 20 yards...it just flopped down and smiled. Hated that I had to escalate, but the buzzards will be happy today. Having a dog again, I particularly won't let them hang around. Saw one walking on our road about a mile away two days ago...a blacker one. Guess they are leaving the den and seeking new territory.

BEF, why can't you just replace the faulty valve and repair the pin hole?
I don't care whether one is independently loaded or broke, it seems like a lot of money to replace a whole system over one broken part. Would you replace your car/truck because you needed new plug wires?
The unit is undersized. I need to add something else anyways. If I drive a mini and blow the motor, but need a full size car. Do you fix the mini and buy another mini for more capacity, or just buy the bigger car and scrap the mini?
The difference in cost between a new 2 ton unit and 3 ton is usually not that significant, the cost is in the install.
The part is not easy to change. Once I remove the unit where it’s easier to work on, then maybe fix it..
That is also the unit where the pipes have pushed in, in the basement.

Good Morning,
Ct, 69 to start going to 79. Another cloudy and humid day, this weather has been horrible the last few days!

Phil, what a beautiful job on the clock ! I love the figure on the backside ! I did build a school house clock many years ago! Although the mechanicals broke inside and it needs to be replaced!

Finished assembly on the bunk beds for the grands, what a pain in the neck ! My knees and left hip are hurting today for all the bending and assembly on my knees ! BTW I also built the curio cabinet for Kathleen’s blue glass !

Going for a morning walk with Kathleen and then do some shopping for the FD.
Then off toVermont this afternoon!

Hope all have a good Wednesday! 🙏
