Island Of Misfits

Just took a triple set of pharma for my back pain. I haven't had any since about 5 pm yesterday, and it's screamin' like a demon. I had been laying on the bed unable to sleep, watching episodes of Ancient Aliens. Hoping I can get comfortable enough to watch a movie with my baby in the living room (she just woke up)

Just fixed a cup of hot chocolate for my baby and me. Tastes delicious, and a great way to warm up!

Good morning, insomniac Misfits. Laid back down on the bed again, and still unable to sleep. Fixed another cup of hot chocolate and watching more Ancient Aliens.

Yup, life is good!

Good morning venerable brothers and sisters!

Another mostly cloudy rain with rain starting at 45F and predicted to reach 53F.

Gym this morning and I now have a hot tub test kit, so will grab a water sample from the Jacuzzi to see how well they are maintaining the chemistry, since they are so casual about temperature. While I've seen them add chemicals, I've never seen them test the water.

The window contractors are due to remove the 8 casement window panels that they are rebuilding and cover the openings with plywood for the next 8 weeks.

When they reinstall them, we will have the house repainted, so I will start getting serious about competitive bids.

Currently 38 degrees this morning, with a high of 60 degrees expected today. Awesome!

Just fixed a cup of hot chocolate for my baby and me. Delicious!

Fuck around with an old fart and find out!

I won my battle with the gym operator who decided to make it his mission in life to thwart my efforts to have a 40C/104F Jacuzzi bath at 06:00 in the morning.

He didn't respond to me or to his general manager, so I pushed it up to the owners, and offered them an engineered solution, which they accepted and told the operator how it was going to be.

My solution was to top it off at night during closing, and proved that it would still stay in the designed operating range the next day.

In parting I pointed out that the grout was disappearing from the bath liner, which was a dead give away that the tank was running lower Ph than specified. I forgot my bottle to collect a test specimen, but will do so Wednesday for specifics.
