Another cool wet day starting at 44F.

Some rental repairs. I ordered new wheels for one of the dishwashers and some screen material to redo all the screens, a couple of which are torn.

Some experimenting with a simple sling shot made of parachute cord for throwing tennis balls for the pups. It fits in the pocket way easier than an atlatl style ball flinger. I used to use a sling with rocks when I was a kid but am having to learn all over again to have any accuracy.

make sure you have good hot water,takes a lot to fill
 
our little town has two water wells for our water so we should be good to go with a full tub

the soaking tub i am looking at is only 54” inches long but deeper than a regular tub
I did a job upstate 6 years ago.It was a 100 y/o house and they had a tub cast iron on legs and it took a lot of hot water .Just to get the cast iron up to temp took some btu's
We were there for 4 mos 4 days a week .
Our water froze so we had no running water.
Hotels shut down because the sewage lines froze
 
Gooode morning brothers and sisters! Cool and wet this morning, starting at 42F.

My webmaster made progress on Graywolfslair.com rebuild, and we should see some results this week.

Lunch out today with fellow engineer and wif mate from the good ole days at in aerospace. He is about a decade older than Moi and still sharp but falling apart physically.

Hugs all around!
