Many a Slip

 between the lip and the cup ( ? )

I dropped our gift UK mug. Down the stairs. Yes, I need grip gloves or just smarten up.

Lytton made 49.6 C for a third record in 3 days < 121.3 F >

From CBC online :

{{ Talk about a heavy snack. For the first time, astronomers have witnessed a black hole swallowing a neutron star — the most dense object in the universe — all in a split-second gulp.

Ten days later they saw the same thing on the other side of the universe. In both cases, a neutron star — a teaspoon of which would weigh a billion tons — orbits ever closer to that ultimate point of no return, a black hole, until they finally crash together and the neutron star is gone in a gobble.

Astronomers witnessed the last 500 orbits before the neutron stars were swallowed, a process that took far less than a minute and briefly generated as much energy as all the visible light in the observable universe. }}

Can you swallow that whole ? ! Gulp - a - rama !!!!

For online apps and games. I'v tried ' June's Journey ' now deleted.

' Hidden Objects ' is deleted also.

Mostly, b/c I refused to pay for ' energy bars ' or power ups

Too cheap. Way too cheap.

Shopping today, was at Canadian Tire. CT is a cross between household goods meets tires and tools. CT offers Canadian Tire ' money ' back on purchases ( something like 1- 2 % ) however, the big promo was ' 30 CT dollars ' if you spent $ 150 all at once.

And I've been waiting - ' wanting ' whatever, to buy a replacement lifejacket. The type is an auto - inflate strap vest. Light and unobtrusive but able to inflate on immersion in water. The original is 2008 vintage.
About time, you would think. It can not get water logged etc but the mechanism is 13 yrs old. And there is no guarantee that the folded material that forms the bladder can not deteriorate.
Of course, I hemmed and hawed to the store / in the store and coming home.

BUT the thought  [ ' it costs $ 259 ' , what is your life worth ] won out. To rationlize - the real cost is 259 - 30 or $ 229. Paid and done.
Now. for the follow up.

 
I attached the gas cylinder and all seemed good. UNTIL. I open the second vest strap and see " this is manual inflation only " Say What !!!
Thus, off to YouTube. Found the Halkey brand video < makers of the mechanism >.

Two things. That warning label is attached to an alternate cover that makes the auto inflate into inflate by pull toggle. So, I hid the label away - not needed.
Next, the nice man is discussing the pro s to using auto inflate. ' Of course, you should check the mechanism every two years < not that I knew > and beware that the water intitiate disc can become damaged and not function.  Really, could have told me, like maybe 6 years ago. 

See. Replacing the vest looks better and better. And I might salvage the CO2 cylinder.

Also, I bought ' SeaFoam ' gas / oil additive for small engines < and big >.  I've been adding this supplement to the outboard engine.

A day in the life !
