🫘 .... sitting and typing, 2 day old coffee. Sun and the Eternal Blue. Still got that the humid feeling as we are in that loop or cycle [ storms etc ]
And I am getting bit [ as in insects ]. Watering the wild flowers this AM, right on the calf. Poof, just like that
Sunday rituals incl a trip to Giant Tiger. And coleslaw, breads and eggs
The day is sunny and humid. Breeze is essential
Exercise completed. Nothing outre to report
Dinner was M ... s chili and garlic bread
🛵 or 26 / 08 - 08. Late getting to the blog. We were readying the house for the NCL and I was playing w / the ' new ' foyer light up lantern. Bigger and brighter, very deco
dreary outside. rain is around and about
sun popped out. still humid as all get out
House is cleaner. All floors on the first done plus the kitchen
Well done. I mean the house feels like someone cared, always a comfort.
Yes, we need help maintaining the place.
c.f. moving out or seniors residence. easier but then you are paying someone to walk and do things
🚕..... sitting and typing. Tea and rice cooking
Long day, Wed. Up at 5:15 AM home at 8:30 PM
Hot and humid day, broken by clouds and sudden downpours BUT we were in the boathouse, each time. Plus, the work was all to make recovery of bassboat simpler
How are you feeling tired but up. Weren't you supposed to sleep, like - forever, guess not b / c I was up at 7 AM
Visited the Speedy garage not " Muffler, anymore " recommended by the neighbour. A competent advisor addressed the need for an oil change etc. Going in next Tuesday.
Walked in to Princess Auto, $ 48 late - I escaped. Some fishing jigs ( $ 6 for 10), re use owels and gloves plus string lights.
the string lites are LED and programmable. In the front foyer, seasonally, there is a welcome to " Las Vegas " flashing sign. The sign is 7 inches tall. Soon to be replaced by a 30 inch tall lantern cage [ glass sided ] and yes, string lights - suspended in the glass sided enclosure.
Stay tuned for the latest pix
🀄..... a day away. Fishing for two hours and a bit. Then we worked to make the bassboat dock in the cradle - more easily
success, the jury is out
a long hot and humid day. not back breaking ,but tedious and relatively useful
We shall see said the Zen Master [ yeah, one of those
🚏 sitting w / coffee but weak tea first. Sunny is the view, Eternal Blue. Wind seems fairly still.
A .. will come today and take M ... to the hairdressers. And fish and chips for lunch [ ???? ]
Project projection screen ..... rating a dismal pass. WL ... gave me a full size projection screen. The frame sets up as 6 x 6 ft w / a base framework that goes back 3 1 / 2 ft. Downstairs, in the fireplace room it looks like half the room is screen.
Thus, I used half the poles and no base. The frame could sit on a console. The screen needed to be cut down to size.
I ended up using double sided tape [ very stick and a pain ] to fold the screen over the pole s and tack the free end down. There was a bit a looseness in the surface.
The trial projection was alright but likely 80 % of true appearance on the laptop. Further research verified that the brightness and reproduction would be limited. The projector is rated at 300 nits and for reference that 300 is barely adequate for a computer screen.
Well.
In summary, not a tragic loss. The screen came free and the abridged setup can still be used. The projector is fully portable and I do have ideas about uses
The plans fell thru/ I drove M ... to the hairdressers.
After. I zipped up to Chartwell Plaza and Yogi s Noodles. A 35. Beef noodle and wonton plus Chinese greens and soya milk. There is Bak choy in the soup as well.
My new favourite. It is food court style eating but 13 dollars. { keep the soya milk please
Next was Bestco [ Asian food store ]. At the hot table area, I bought inari
[ aka ' suitcases 'from our growing up ]. Chicken pot pies [ on the sweet side ]. Frozen corn and dessert
🫖 .... truck is back. Woke up at looked out and Ridgeline was in the driveway. A .. back form the airport run.
Ahead ..... ???? Full sun and Eternal Blue. Sitting and ochazuke AND Mc D s coffee first in the driveway
Buy a new TV !!! says M ...
instead, I fiddled for two hrs to produce ' a wavy screen ' for the projector. Analysis : the bristol board was superior
YouTube videos did emphasize that screen irregularites was a big bug a boo. Even expensive screens show the waviness along the edges
So, off to Michael s or Staples for a type of board that is slightly relective or maybe even matte
🧥 ... dreary and sitting tea this morning ... hydration is key
yes. rain overnight. part of the cycle that we are in Ah, El Nino, as predicted, cooler and rainier
on retirement. how can you tell ? Firstly, A ... has my truck for luggage portage to the airport. BUT air crew strike cancelled flights - with the chance of re- booking, ' tomorrow '. He left his sedan.
While waiting cor news this AM, we began watching ' Pan Am 103 ', the Lockerbie 747 crash [but becomes bombing after 20 minutes ]. Sat and watched
meanwhile, I was exploring screen setups for the projector project in the fireplace room
