I prepared a notebook on what to do if I croak. I have a few things of substantial value that if not sold right she could lose meaningful money, so for that I told her who to get to help her. I also gave her detailed instructions on how to collect the practice receivables, and how to take over the real estate company. I don’t want her to worry about small stuff, but don’t want her giving away stuff that could be converted to meaningful cash.
I've been a 'picker' for decades - more of an accumulator than a collector so we have an assortment of ... 'stuff'
old toys, tools, jugs, pots, trunks, car, motorcycle, bicycle (including vintage bmx), etc
some of the stuff can be worth some money - so I have reviewed/reminded wife and kids (just in case/when that time arrives)
I should probably document

Good news: I went on a ride with some friends
Bad news: I am on call and got several pages, the first couple I was able to address while soft pedaling, but more kept coming so I had to send my friends on their way and put out some fires.
Good news: on my way home I saw some yummy wild raspberries and ate them. Dee-licious!

They should do this again, I'd totally drive to San Diego for it. Fireworks shows are too damn long.

No, no - there was no fuse in the circuit in the first place. He just assumed that there was and didn't check and didn't call anyone, either.
When I changed that filter in August, it had been more than a year and a half since it had been changed. The intake was audibly groaning from the load, but he never noticed.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

Had a little run in with a rail road gate yesterday. We got stopped by the train so the arm was down. We went on the side walk as the train was ending. As I was passing the traffic control the guy behind me said "I'm on your right" so I moved left and got hit by the counter weight for the arm. Backs all scraped up and bruised hips sore. Knocked the wind out of me. I'm sore as crap this morning. Hopefully a hot shower will help. Must avoid in the future. Wish I saw who was passing me I'd have a couple words for him.

Got in a good ride with some locals, minus bam, and then took a quick shower and hustled, an hour and a half each way, to pick up a dual run capacitor for the AC system, sliding in just before the store closed. Got back, installed it, and she's up and running.

There's not more stars as far as I know. Just I was not anywhere near a built up area and there was low humidity. There is also a bit of sensor noise in photo as my camera is more entry level.

Reading the installation instructions for the new weed eater head. It says to soak the lines in water for 12-24 hours prior to use, to improve their effective lifespan. Anybody ever heard of that?
Edit: true to form, the first place I called told me this model has been discontinued, along with its parts. But he would be happy to sell me a newer model for $400. The part I bought turns out to be universal, across all models. Guess who won't see any future business from me.
