45 years ago, my Dad remodeled our kitchen. I remember when we got rid of the porcelain-over-cast-iron sink, with its full skirt and double drain boards. Dang thing weighed a TON, but Dad insisted on the two of us moving it, instead of the contractor and 3 or 4 other guys moving it. It helped me understand why my Dad got not one, but TWO hernias - hubris.
The contractor hauled it away. 45 years ago, it was trash. Now I understand they're in fashion again.
Anyway, if somebody wants an 85 year old farm house sink, it's probably in a dump in Adams County, PA. It's probably still in pretty good shape, since those things seem built for the Apocalypse.

Your photo angle produced an optical illusion of similar wheel size.
Wrapping up your refrigerator is one way to lose weight I guess.

Little bit less stressed. Did the final walk through and the seller did an amazing job, he went above and beyond fixing things that we didn’t even ask him to fix. I think I got my grant issue figured out, I hope. As long as I get a good nights sleep tonight I think I’ll saddle up tomorrow.
Picking wall paint is difficult. We’re painting the whole interior a light grey and we have about 21 different greys to choose from. We settle on one and then when we look at them later we don’t like that shade anymore and pick a different one.
I found the glass replacement on amazon for 20 bucks. Suppose to arrive on the 1st and as soon as I slap it on and get it inspected I will have a car again.

I've been making hummus lately, just to have around. Complete protein and all. No fixed recipe. Second to last batch was so bitter I couldn't eat it. So I put a small amount back into the food processor and added a few kalamata olives and their juice. A star was born! Now they go into every batch.

We finally got all of the appraisal issues worked out and are clear to close Friday at noon. We were talking with the sellers tonight and their daughter caught COVID down at the University of Kentucky, tough time for them

So I look to finally get an Instagram account.
I try the option to sign in using Facebook. It proceeds to give me a screen with my email address already in the screen. I enter my FB password and get this:
I know I don't have an account, that's why I'm there. When I tried to create a new account using the same email address it won't let me use it.

#NotAllWomen . My wife, for example, doesn't demand remodeling. Instead, she talks about it, researches it, plans it, then chickens out before spending a dime. This is both good and bad.

My wife has informed me that she wants to try to ride her upright this morning. Due to the heat, I know it will be short but I also know that she'll probably be in tearful pain before the ride is over. Personally, I'd give up if I were her as far as riding a regular bike. She just can't give up on nearly 40 years of road bike cycling.
