Morning :coffee:

Calm n cool here among the oaktrees. A nice day ahead.

Got the suburban's new door latch installed. Tested the door 3 times before I put the door panel back together. All buttoned up and went to shut the door. Nada, it wouldn't close. WTF. Checked and rechecked. Everything was in the proper place and adjustment. Double WTF. The part had 4 in a half star rating with countless good reviews. All except one that stated the exact problem I was having with it. I got a defective one. Talking about pissed off, curse words in excess were heard from a mile away. At least the customer was understanding. A replacement will be here today.... I hope.

On a brighter note. The pool is working like a charm :whistling: Having a nooner swim.

paperwork time

:wave:

Good morning Friends
going to get my blood drawn
I always ask someone to hold my other hand and tell me its going to be all right😊
I hold the other arm and say that one hurts.
I do a general group flirt
Tell a famous medical joke if its been a while.
Then I get a slice from the same place I have been getting a slice since high school.
I was more into the high than the school.

Normally when I do dishes I can smell the strength of the chlorine. Usually there is no chorine in our water at all, so when there is some it's very obvious. I think just to be on the safe side I will let the water sit for a day or two in a bucket. It's not going to hurt anything by doing so.
I don't want to harm my houseplants and I'm just getting my crop going, hopefully, I dropped them on the floor the other day and caused chaos. I think I will start some more tomorrow. When I look at my journal I see for the past several years, I've had to start two sets of seeds a week apart.

I don't know why they are having this water problem it's never happened before. We have chlorine free water just about always. I's been like that for 18 years. I hope this is a glitch that can be corrected.

hope all is well Sub
Oh, Gawd! I'm gonna give advice that is real!!

@oldmaninbc -- Go splurge one time on a big bottled water. Doesn't cost much, and the old engineer in Himself will tellya that if you can smell Chlorine, you have a great plant killer. Sunlight and at least two days outdoors and you're good to go. <-- Until the smell and pH are OK.

What do you think this is? Found it in a lunchbox full or mostly quartz arrowheads. It feels lighter than a rock, but it has imperfections that looks like it shows a rough surface of a rock. Wondering if someone chipped and polished it round?? Almost the same diameter as an American quarter.

JEEEBUS. (great minds)

I have a sock drawer. One kind only. No sorting required... ever.
As a bachelor I bought a 9-drawer dresser so that I could have a sock drawer, skivvy drawer, handkerchief drawer, and a tee shirt drawer which I could just throw clean clothes from the laundry basket in without folding. That's when I standardized on one style and color sock.

As an old married man, Grayfox folds the above and puts them in their individual drawers and pull I them out in the morning and dress in the dark to avoid waking her.

A quick internet search brings this up. The marble in question looked identical with the spots but it was brown.

“They look like typical Bennington marbles, made in Germany in the 1800s. There were also a few U.S. companies that made similar clay marbles.

They're made from clay, fired and salt-glazed in a kiln, produced by the millions, and can turn up anywhere in the country where there were kids playing with them in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

The key identifying features of Benningtons are the brown color and the lighter spots, sometimes referred to as "eyes," where they touched each other during firing.

No relation at all to Native American.

You might try a web search for Benningon marbles to confirm. Most sites will tell you they are the most-common type of old marbles, so individual values are minimal, although they are interesting and occupy a certain niche in history.”
