Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.
We had been getting a lot of rain the last few days, and it caused the pool circuit to trip off, and it started to go green on me again. At least it wasn’t yellow. The mustard algae was particularly difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I have a few days before Jarek’s party to get it ready. This will be the last hurrah for the pool, as the frame is corroding pretty badly – more on that later.
The best part about a microwave (or other large item) is the box! Here we have an Arya in a box!
A rare photo me at work! We got the microwave up and mounted. Here I am finishing the flashing of the vent ducting and getting it all sealed up tight.
More tape is needed!
Randal is a big boy and can serve himself cottage cheese!
Now Randal and Garrett have an Evan trapped in a box!
Painting time! A favorite activity for the littles! Nothing like colors, making potions, art, and a little bit of a mess at times!
