Me either KC. My dad is the ultimate repurposer. He rarely throws any materials away that he might be able to use down the road.Until we moved into this house in 2003 and finally bought an oak dining table, my kitchen table was the formica one my parents bought shortly after they married in 1949. I still have it downstairs as a "crafts" table.
I'm not a big fan of our disposable society; I love seeing stories like yours and Gr8's
Prime example -- two years ago I was back at their place for the week, helping get things ready for spring/summer.
He was in the middle of building a new sump pump in the basement -- we've had water on the (concrete) floor whenever it rained much.
We got the hole made and bucket cemented in, and we needed to route the drain hose along the wall, turn an inside corner then to the pump.
He had me get a garage door track out of the shed overhead and screwed it to the wall 2x4s in the basement, and it was a perfect channel to run the hose in.
He said he had that track for about 20 years, and there's another one left if he needs it.
My SIL just received word last week that his company is allowing employees to work from home indefinitely. He was psyched!
I'm fine with it, but I know of a couple newer employees that are struggling to learn some of the processes remotely.
Peeps love to hate on Amazon. I myself hate all of the lack of controlling counterfeits and knocks-offs and generally avoid buying electronics or memory cards etc from them. However, yesterday went to both HD and Menards looking for a hose nozzle to water plants and found nada. Looked on Amazon late afternoon and it was delivered here around noon.
Figured it would be good for water my nearly dead beebalm flowers. Sprinklers are odd/even days and sorta likely frowned upon.

Funny. A guy who never replies to e-mails thanked me for my prompt reply.
So, I picked up another course with DMACC along the way. 4 students enrolled in this one, still 1 in the other, not convinced either one is happening, so I'm not doing a lot yet to prepare. This is weird.

I am expecting so. Made in Taiwan (the good China
) and all it has to do is pass water through little holes.
Thinking of KC's earlier post on keeping, not throwing, good stuff: for our wedding a few decades ago, we got one of the then-trendy vacuum-sealing machines with plenty of bags. Tried it a time or two and couldn't get the hang of it. Plus, we never had ziploc/sealing baggies (and generic at that) when we were growing up, so I eventually gave the thing away or sold it at a garage sale. And bought my own plastic sandwich bags with the slide-under, then fold over top. Sigh.
No, worded that poorly. But the route they took Friday morning was one I took a lot growing up. Would have went through my hometown if they stayed straight instead of going to Hale.
The route went to Hale you say? What was wrong?
Just watched Ginger Snaps. I think I last saw it about 15 years ago so it was like watching a new movie.
Wife just got home a little bit from taking her mom to see her nephew and his wife (my wife’s cousin and his wife). Said they left a little early because all he would do is bring up politics and she did not go to talk politics. They are from Washington and come out about every 5 years to see his mom. He could only be here for a few days because his schedule was too full……he’s retired.
In a perfect world, quitting my job will include me telling one particular Disaster Recovery manager to slag off.
You set a date yet or just enjoying the work too much to tell them to pee off?
