So just noted it on our list.<br /><br />Frankly I think medical people SHOULD be allowed to take vacations. I don’t want a cranky person to be jabbing me with sharp objects. I prefer it be done by a rested and relaxed person with steady hands and sharp eyesight. So...enjoy your garden and The Beach! We’ll be here when you get back.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-2510527549655563502020-08-11T10:52:14.761-07:002020-08-11T10:52:14.761-07:00Took me a second to grasp you subtle humor there S...Took me a second to grasp you subtle humor there STxAR, again, well played!juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-78183290016606284922020-08-11T10:45:45.283-07:002020-08-11T10:45:45.283-07:00That’s what I thought also Bill, The supervisor ha...That’s what I thought also Bill, The supervisor had brought a GFCI tester plug with him, and after we plugged it in to the troublesome sockets a time or two, then rechecked with the fan everything was fine.

Having to pack and move...just ugh!!<br />GREAT idea about taking a fan along and testing all the plugs--never heard of that one--gonna remember it!<br />Yea!! Little J is in quarantine!! Now that is great progress!! Working on electronics--this could get interesting...<br />The electronic stove doesn't work--first thing I thought was "Is it plugged in?"...like when the computer doesn't work, before calling anyone or panicking I reboot. (Thanks to an IT guy from a prior life a looong time ago)<br />Yea!! The desk set is beautiful!!! And it looks awesome there with their wood floors!<br />And the roadwork is all done--very cool!!<br />Yes, I am late to the party--work is just nuts crazy due to so many full time nurses thinking they are allowed to go on vacation. So LOTS of work for us part time and per diem folks. Plus the garden is really beginning to crank up production, so lots of canning/freezing, etc. But next week I will be hanging out in Sarge's neck of the woods at "The Beach", so it's all good.<br />I have learned many things from reading this blog...one is NEVER EVER take a sip of ANYTHING LIQUID during reading it.

On the way down, Pandora played the Overture with the live cannons. We arrived at Lowes just as the final cannon firing occurred. As we shut down and dismounted, Mrs J asked "You did know that I had my hearing aids in and didn't need you to adjust the volume to full blast, dincha?"<br /><br />I'm sorry. I can't help it. That's one of those "Anything, just play it LOUD, Okay?" Overtures.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-51989137778402108762020-08-10T16:35:22.108-07:002020-08-10T16:35:22.108-07:00😁😁OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-67037773717278890722020-08-10T15:25:04.176-07:002020-08-10T15:25:04.176-07:00We paid for a home inspector when we had purchased...We paid for a home inspector when we had purchased a new home.

Our current kitchen’s work triangle pretty much forces cooking a meal to a single person. Even with the three of us checking things out this morning there seemed to be plenty of room. We’ll see.

Loved it. So very likely that would make the list.<br /><br />As to the oven, a march outside to the circuit breaker and resetting one marked "Oven" was miracle working.<br /><br />Thanks D4, I wish mine was a tad bigger, but one of the immutable laws of nature is "Stuff expands to meet available space."

Agreed, that there are stupid people in the military and everyone makes stupid mistakes occasionally, but my feeling was that by and large, people in the military were intelligent, had common sense and a strong work ethic.<br /><br />MAN was it eye-opening when I retired and joined the ranks of the civilians. And that was twenty two years ago. Humanity's stupidity level is increasing at unbelievable speed.
