Z, when I remodeled my kitchen at the old house, I used individual glass blocks every 18" apart to light up my kitchen counter. It was pretty slick. I'll look for a pic, if I can find one.
What did you do today?

Stay on top of the joists. You can lay down strips of plywood, or fence boards, across the tops of the joists while you’re up there doing your thing. Bring them down when you’re done or leave them up there for next time.
Went to the park today. Found a bench in the shade so I sat for a while. Thank you, Barbara.
I've always appreciated those memory benches
That's a really nice card.
We've got them here too. People make a difference in society. Those benches make people step back and ponder for a moment
I had a job measure today, so it's back to floor flattening tomorrow. I'm winning..... the floor is meeting it's maker this week.
Another spy satellite launched tonight. Fifth one this week. Something is up folks.

Why does it look like a balloon ?
The tip is the true rocket. The second thing is the booster that just separated and would land safely. The rest were just vapor trails. Yep, MSNI, it is just a safe weather balloon, maybe from China or Russia, from Biden's open invitation to infiltrate our country. 
(You know I just love messing with you buddy!)
All good in the hood
…. I can be quite clueless about many things 
If we could teach and help each other achieve more confidence with ourselves, we probably would be less sensitive to criticism and then able to focus on improving, rather than criticizing or reacting to criticism. Sorry
I’m always looking for lessons
We had a spy plane, but it was spying on us.
Flight Radar listed the single engine plane as a private owner. I've never seen a flight path remotely like this one. The long runs are around 30 miles. I don't know what it was doing. You can tell student pilots because they make the same patterns and do touch and goes, but they never do this.

Many of the forums I watch are reporting similar irregular flight patterns all over the US. Most believe it is a grid search surveillance of some type. Maybe mapping to build overlays to help citys find illegal construction/add ons?
Most of it is forested, and they went out over sand dunes and the ocean.
I check in on flight radar daily at some point. I've seen patterns over areas with forest fires, but locally, nothing remotely close to this. I should have done a screen shot of the plane.
We are just barely in the city limits. A school for troubled children is 1/2 block away, is just outside the city in an old Catholic convent. They have a couple square miles of empty ground. They are supposed to put on a big display tonight. Should be able to see it from my deck.
I have neighbors that buy some large fireworks every year or two. Last night was fairly good, but it was a different neighbor and I only saw them through the trees.
I could hear the ones in town, but not see them. They're 3 miles away.

Warm one yesterday, a high of 87. This morning was 46, but by 10:15 this morning it was 89. It's just before noon and 93. On the bright side depending on which barometer I look at it's either 31 or 36 %
I didn't watch the weather forecast last night so I'm a bit surprised. I doubt if we hit 100.

That's what I figured. I didn't feel like it would be safe to walk on the boards. There is a piece of plywood up there. I should bring more up there too when my body is cooperating. For some reason my whole body hurts today for no apparent reason.
I suspect the leak is some kind of condensation from the HVAC system but haven't gotten motivation to go up there. It's been too hot.
Yesterday the water wasn't working. I discovered the geniuses who fixed the pump don't know how to solvent weld fittings properly. I did note they were only putting the solvent on the fitting and not the other piece on something and they told me it would be fine when I said something about it. They told me they were going to replace a compression fitting with permanent fittings. Well, they attempted to solvent weld the compression fitting with medium strength pvc cement-- not intended for use on wet pipes-- and they only put it on the fitting and not the pipes. I'm surprised it held as long as it did. Blew apart yesterday. I went to put it back together after shutting the pump off and didn't think about the heat. I grabbed the stainless steel elbow with my bare hand nad cooked my palm a bit. Then tried to run water over it to cool it off but the water coming out was hot too. Managed to get the fitting back on and waited an hour while the cistern refilled. Then tried again. It was working until the fitting blew apart again and soaked me. I was trying in vain to push the fitting back together with water pushing it apart and blasting me in the face--- at least that water was only warm and not hot. I had to pour cool bottled water over my hand for awhile. It's still a little sore but visibly looks fine.
Changed Mom's canula for her infusion set last night but the canula bent. She woke me up screaming at me at almost 4am about her blood sugar being high. I went and changed to a different canula and this time she said she felt the insulin go in when the canula filled but her blood sugar has remained over 400. So, either her sensor is borked or something isn't working right. I'm going to have to do a finger stick.
Meanwhile, I did curbside pickup order from Samsclub and HD-- had to get some fittings. I'm going to build a bag holder/opener for the trash bags out of pvc pipe. Found plans online for it and its cheaper than buying one of the actual holders. On my way back I paid very careful attention to all of the signs going through the town where I got pulled over and ticketed. I confirmed the cop lied to me. The area that he said was a 50mph area was a 65mph area-- which is probably why he lied and said he would give me a ticket for seatbelt instead. The speed and area could be verified with dashcam and such-- I was going with the flow of traffic and slowed to 50mph when it went down to 50. He even acknowledged that I was wearing a seatbelt but said seatbelt ticket was cheaper than saying I was going 64 in a 50. It's still over $200 and its bs. Sadly, there is no way to contest the ticket as the town has no court and the address they give you for "court" is the police station and your only options are to pay or have your license suspended. Gotta love that Louisiana corruption. Cop had no bodycam so the seatbelt thing would be his word against mine anyway and that town makes most of its revenue from tickets. It's one of the towns notorious for speed traps. They once ticketed my brother for rolling through a stop-- when it wasn't a stop. it was a yield. And we have the google earth images to prove it. But there was no court to contest it so he had to pay.
I was right. We only got up to 98.
I should be a meteorologist.
Tomorrow ....the same or warmer.
It will be warmer tonight than tomorrow, so the upstairs in the house will start off warm.
....I do t move fast, do tomorrow will be en slower.
I did however get more than 1/2 bathroom done today.
I called the owner and told him he can install the vanity tomorrow morning.I don't show up till noon and he leaves about 12:30.
....we work well together.
He's a great guy and I think he appreciates me making his new flooring flat enough to not fail.
Even tho it gonna cost him $2000 more that he expected, I'm making chump change. I don't care a bit because my measuring has slowed a LOT in the past month. Sumpin' is better than nothin'
