That is an amazing accomplishment, which, to be honest, I thought would never work.

My institution is a major player in LIGO. My colleague/friend is the current spokesperson for LIGO -- Had him and a half dozen other LIGO scientists over for my housewarming party the other day.

We did our part.

I said goodbye to old friends a short while ago.

When we moved into our house 29 years ago, one of my first purchases was a 6 pack of work gloves. Pictured are the last pair from that pack.

They may not look that bad in the picture, but the lining is in shreds, making putting them on a pain, and several seams are ripped. The suede parts are stiff and crackle a bit.

They did their job, did it well, and persevered for far longer than anyone might expect!




Last year I purchased another 6 pack of gloves. The design hasn't changed in 3 decades.

Vacationing in Mendocino CA for an extended weekend. This is from Pacific Star Winery just north of Fort Bragg. The wine was good the view spectacular.

Bonus points if you can identify where this was taken!

Maybe the design hasn’t, but I bet the price sure has!

Last day in Mendocino today. Hiked the redwoods yesterday.

Getting closer...



One of two low spots in the kitchen floor patched. The other will be done after cabinet installation. The other one is about as big or bigger.



Cabinets come Wednesday, so I'm tidying up some smaller stuff today.

That is going to make a fine wine room!

Our BFF's had the Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep show up again and this time they brought newborns.

Not what you’re thinking! I picked this up at one of the wineries we visited in Mendocino. It’s an aerator not a pipe. You pour the wine into the globe then tilt is so it pours into the glass.

Funny, I just got a strange urge for a glass of milk.

I'm not really complaining, but I belive there may be some aftermarket alteration present there.

Well, after getting three different delivery dates and being stood up on two, the cabinets arrived today. They arrived about two hours after I found out that the sink sewer pipe apparently has a hole in it and is draining under the house. God, I love doing old work like this, where everything is straight, square and level and there are no surprises. Who wants to guess what my tomorrow and weekend look like now?

It's a pipe!

 

[jswordy]

Can't keep a good man down. A lil brick clearing and recip-saw time tomorrow and this will be out. PLASTIC going back in. So lucky that it just comes through the wall and drains into a basin. The standpipe WILL stand up square with the floor, too, unlike the old one.
