Wearing a half-mask with cannisters in 100F weather is just awful. Replacing caulking is not so bad, but many of my shingles were (IMHO as a novice) too far apart. So I caulked between those, too. Then I primed with lead-binding primer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578071f6ff7c501754e9765d/1502227722770-L0TOO0PFG0VT91UVN2M3/image-asset.jpeg Ruminations - my gobbled summer Staining was visible in the scraped zone of the lead-binding primer, so i went over it with Kilz. re-caulked the windows, etc.... all the prep took a LOOONG time.

Here's what it says: So when I was a little girl (7 years old) my family moved to München. And for one excruciating year, my sister and I suffered the indignity of attending school on an army base. One of my teachers there had connected with a school in the states and we were to form pen pal relationships with kids across the pond. I tried this. I mean, I gave it a valiant shot. We'd been instructed to tell our stories. But at 7 there weren't a whole bunch of stories to tell, and snap-shots of houses and parents and pets...I just didn't care. Many years later I met Eliot who became my AA sponsor. We met every Monday for 4 years at the Village Inn in Buffalo, NY, and I'm trying to remember when we started telling stories. (i.e., back-stories - our herstories) We sorta didn't. We focused on shared observations and we talked about the Now and about what we believed in, and about being sober drunks. And I got to know who she was by how she was. Eventually, stories about her unfolded. It was natural. I flew from Portland to Buffalo when Eliot was in hospice, and I stayed in her apartment, surrounded by all her things. And I decided to take some. Not to take anything of financial value, but items that would keep her close to me. I took photos, I took a well-worn leather coin purse full of pennies, I took a couple of her AA books - ones she'd scribbled all over. There were stories connected to each thing I took, and how much I cared about her stories. Everybody is "other" until they're not. I don't know where that point is, where a person goes from something alien to being a part of me...maybe it's a slow thing. I wonder about this pen pal thing. I'm 60. I wonder if you will reply. I wonder if I will care or if it'll be kinda like when I was 7. I dunno. But I'm game to find out. K, that's it. Bye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578071f6ff7c501754e9765d/1484632033896-9AJI4E827QM0VGI4O3PN/image-asset.jpeg Ruminations - doing something different. http://www.smitheliot.com/ruminations/2017/1/15/ifqq7lmtlpsvfrwtw8v8bj13slz3hb monthly 0.5 2017-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578071f6ff7c501754e9765d/1484517566235-S9HRTQJB2DJGJ2GYEPDD/image-asset.jpeg Ruminations Finger Tunnels http://www.smitheliot.com/ruminations/2017/1/15/88v8e2otrz4s9t8deei96u7pey0cdr monthly 0.5 2017-01-15 http://www.smitheliot.com/ruminations/2017/1/14/wolff-gallery monthly 0.5 2017-01-16 http://www.smitheliot.com/ruminations/2017/1/10/actual-snow-in-portland monthly 0.5 2017-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578071f6ff7c501754e9765d/1484119268533-9S02Z7033K2SGILDNU8I/image-asset.jpeg Ruminations - Actual snow in portland...
