I’ve been resolute about not getting into eBay bidding wars, I have a lot of experience with that and some really nice 35mm camera equipment to prove it.
So I’m trying to understand Lindsey Buckingham suing Fleetwood Mac. It just seems bizarre. I bought a CD of their 1997 “The Dance” live album at the SA Thrift this weekend. It’s good, but it’s also 20 years old.
Got up this afternoon to find our water had been turned off. However I already know the reason. Intercession City is having new plumbing installed on the entire city, due to the current system being nearly 70 years old:
There is only one problem with this. According to the website itself, they were supposed to inform us about service interruptions at least 48 hours in advance.
We have Toho Water as well, the system here is much newer with the mains having been replaced just last year. It wasn’t that they were old, being vintage 2000ish, but they weren’t adequate given all the new & planned construction.
Now we need the county to widen Simpson Road, two -> four lanes, they had the money to do it in 2008 but spent it elsewhere. Now they don’t want to do it until 2020, but the new development is forcing their hand.
Just do like my local gov’t does: pack in as many new developments as possible, but don’t improve the roads one iota, and then campaign for reelection on improving the increasingly-awful. Brilliant
Only 70 years old? Don’t we have Roman aqueducts that are still in use?
Scrapple. I’ve not had that in close to 16 years . I don’t eat pork or beef anymore so it’s one of those I can’t eat things . It used to be a every Sunday at the now burnt down gave up on rebuilding Kirby and Halloways thing when I was a kid . It’s like a big deal at the state fair , the indoor Amish market , and most breakfast places around
Uh, who says it wasn’t? I know Toho Water has had issues for years with contamination from pipes. We get a flyer every year that shows what & where they failed on the various state & federal tests.
All this talk of rusty pipes reminds me of the old house when we lived in a town . Had to run the water for 10 minutes to get it clear . Turn on the bathtub faucet the house would shake and moan .
A friend talked me in to getting Black ops 4 for PS4 which I am hearing basically ripped of a few other games . So I’m thinking regret is in my future . It did a 17gb update and then I come back hours later to finally play and 51gb .
Thinking about moving the stuff off the top of one of these areas to another location and using the space for my Shiro and the other anime figures . The cases I that some of my Gi Joe are in allow the figures to walk if they get shook so need to move them anyway . Might put some museum gel under the stands and in Scarlett’s case feet since she has no holes for a stand in hers . Plus would be a good time for some better safer o-ring changes . Maybe pack a large jar of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures I have away and use that space for what I want to keep out . The area I need to get a piece of MDF as the jar has made the top of the thing it’s on sag a little . Still need repack a few footlockers with stuff climate , humidity , and moisture change won’t damage then relocate those as well .
