Bought a t-shirt with Yuri Katsuki on it

Have been looking at buying a new cane knife for while but thought it was rather expensive at $60.
Found one in another shop for $20 which seems just as sharp and weildly, only a little bit smaller and lighter, which I happen to prefer, so had a fun time in the garden macheteing my little jungle this afternoon.

hearing the '38 concert recording of BG Allstars at Carnegie hall, in much improved sonics if one applies a little imagination, it is almost like being there now, then.

I got my roof re-shingled *BEFORE* it started to leak

got a new skylight - low profile double pane glass (the old one was double pane Plexiglass. It never leaked but the seal was starting to go and it never insulated well. I just hope this new one was installed as well as the old one had been.)

This all happened yesterday, I was up at 4:30 so I could be scrubbed and dressed before the crew arrived, since the skylight is in my main bathroom . They showed up bright and early, it was cloudy and cooler (yay for them) and they were about 80% done before the sun finally broke through in the early afternoon.

I provided lots and lots of bottled water and catered their lunch

Have to laugh, because the roof is warrantied for the owner's lifetime (I've read the warranty thoroughly, hurrah for Asperger's) but if I sell my home the poor buyer only gets warrantied for 40 years. Awwwww.

One great part was when the shingles were delivered. They used a crane truck so I got to see them using this portable crane to lift the load of shingles up to my rooftop, where the crew picked them off and placed them in a couple different spots. The neighbor kids (and some of the retired guys) enjoyed watching that as much as I did, maybe more

I stayed in all day to keep my cats from panicking - one decided that since I was calm during all the hammering, it must not be an issue, but she stayed by my side all day. The other one decided that since I was calm during all that noise I must be either deaf or nuts, and she stayed under the bed all day.

Today we're supposed to have some showers which I look forward to so I can run around and confirm the integrity of the roof... I believe they did a very good job, but whenever something old is replaced, it's wise to be sure all is well...

Oh and, I almost forgot, it looks SO nice now. It was nice before, kind of a cottagey look, but it looks even nicer now.

Here's a treat for heavy equipment lovers: sorry it's in French but this was the best demo I found
