Day Seven
No work again today, the contractor’s kid is sick and he has to stay home and play caregiver. Obviously the wife has the job that requires good attendance, probably because it supplies the medical insurance.

Tie One On
The other day as I was walking out the front entrance of Kroger’s taking my own sweet time, a fellow zipped by in a hurry with a very purposeful stride. I looked over as he blew by me and noticed he was carrying two 6 packs of beer. It was O’Doul’s. I almost blurted out, “In a hurry to tie one on.”, but figured anyone drinking non-alcoholic beer might also be of the non-humorous type.
And if O’Doul’s is non-alcoholic, why do you have to be over 21 to visit their web site?
Day 6
Happy Presidents Day! POTUS went golfing with Tiger Woods and our contractor had to stay home and babysit because it was school holiday.
Intermittent Wipers
The Emperor got to come out from under his cover on Saturday for the first time in 10 days as the MMC met for breakfast at a Steak & Shake in Augusta. On the drive over to breakfast it was misty or sprinkling or just road spray the whole way. Our 1990 Miata didn’t have intermittent wipers, just off – low – high, but the 1995 and this one, additionally have a one speed intermittent setting. For most of the trip to Augusta the wipers were set on intermittent.
The Purple Whale has an intermittent setting with about 8 variations of intermittentness. Invariably when driving the Sonata in the same conditions as Saturday’s trip in the Miata I will find myself playing with the settings, trying to get just the right amount of wipage per windshield wetness, yet in the Miata I was perfectly happy with the one speed intermittent setting. Another example of more choices not necessarily being a good thing I suppose.
TV Mockup
Mock up of what my TV of choice would look like from the couch.
Day Five
Some tile jive. Does anyone know what all those chalk marks are for? The contractor said they were on the tiles when he unpacked them.
Day Four
A little bit of wiring, but mostly they worked on the floor. By tomorrow night we might have tile down.
