Well...here I am all by my little self on a Wednesday morning in sunny (right now) Suisun City. Just bought a smidgen of Saffron from a US supplier, 37 bux worth of the precious stuff...indispensable for some recipes...Spanish, Mexican, Persian and Indian foods. So expensive in the stores in the minuscule amounts I simply won't buy it there anymore. So online at this address:
http://www.theposter.com/saffron2.html a good source, a bit of a fuss setting up your account but fair prices and reasonable shipping ( a real expense these days!) and great products make it worth the trouble.
Mopping...you know, rag mop, water, a bit of soapy stuff...better than any dust spewing vacuum. Swept the kitchen (my giant mess site!) then mopped it, the back bathroom and the dining room floors while Kelly was away tending to business for Kell our eBay site. I genuinely LIKE mopping, so it's not a chore at all. I know it's unusual, but hey I like ironing too! Some strange gene combinations all tangled up with airplanes, weather, music and they myriad of other interests and avocations I dabble in. Makes for an interesting day every day.
Currently I'm working on a violin rebuild for a Chris's Club lady friend. It was a wall hanger once upon a time but she rescued it and brought it to CC a couple of weeks ago. She showed it to me and my curiosity took over. Next thing I knew it was in my possession and on the way home with me to be repaired. Missing 2 tuners, the all important bridge and strings it has been quite a project making me read, read and study violins like never before. So much to do and investigate...order requisite parts from far flung sources and the inevitable wait while they ship. I'm invested under 100 bux so far and that's about all I think it needs, I won't charge her anything for my labors but the parts...yes.
It'll be a playable beauty when I get through with the repairs someday real-soon-now!
The snapshot at the top of the page is from my old webcam, thoroughly obsolete or nearly so...says Logitech stuck in a planter on the front porch looking east towards Main Street. I ordered a new one from Newegg yesterday as the cam is showing it's poor quality as you can see. The new one will be installed once it gets here... http://www.newegg.com
Oh...and Furry the Kat...still with us, weight near 6lbs and far more energetic and seemingly back to being a Very Olde Kat once again 175 USD later. Hydration was the issue and now with wet foods and plenty of water she is her Olde self again. Hooray for now! Like the Vet said to us on Friday last, "You take it as it comes when they get this age."
