How do you s'pose this happened??I worked for a couple of hours late this afternoon and got the fourth course set, so the block laying portion of the project is done. Apparently it takes about 60 blocks to get a handle on laying block, because this course went faster and came out straight and smooth.
I had enough mortar left over to get one end "stuccoed." The mix is the same. I'll do the other three sides tomorrow and then it needs to cure for a week before I can paint it with Dry Lock.

I’ve come to accept that waking up at ridiculous hours of the morning is part of advancing age. I use the time to do a variety of things and sometimes eventually go back to sleep in my recliner. What I cannot accept is coming wide awake at 3 a.m. with Lady Gaga in my head. I do NOT want to see anyone’s ugly at that hour.
Lady Gaga - only the TSA knows for sure.
It’s really hard to resist commenting on the 70-degree weather here when my Michigan friends have a snow advisory in effect. But I’ll fight it off.
Remember when Radio Shack was staffed by complete nerds and stocked every conceivable electronics part? Never mind a radio, you could build an entire TV studio with parts from a Radio Shack store the size of a two-car garage.
I was at the local Radio Shack store yesterday looking for 14 ga. speaker wire and 1/4” jacks to solder onto each end. We had a speaker cable fail last Sunday and a guy in the business said if I could solder (yes) I could make one for a fraction of the cost of buying one AND make it my ideal length. He suggested Radio Shack. Neither of us had been there recently. The 50-something lady with the bad dye job didn’t know anything about wire gauge and showed me phone cable. I left empty-handed.
But if you’re looking for a great deal on a cell phone or a remote control monster truck....
Hanukkah begins tonight, no matter how you spell it. Look for the Chanukah lights in windows as you drive around your neighborhood. It’s a sign of celebration inside, commemorating a great victory you can read about on Wikipedia. The defeat of the Ptolomies was part of setting the stage for the conditions in Palestine when the NT opened.
Tomorrow is National Fritter Day. If you’re in Grand Rapids get thee over to Marge’s and have an apple fritter. Consider it your patriotic and religious duty.
After too many “accidents” Jack finally seems to have learned the system. Fortunately, all of those incidents happened on the floor on Pam’s side of the bed. Smart dog.
Note: the above was written before I left for our elder meeting. I just got home to find Pam watching a Grammy show that isn't the Grammy's award show. Apparently they've added a Grammyesque show to announce the nominees for Grammy's.
Got milk?

Bacon IS meat candy! BTW, have you ever had candied bacon? Oh, man! You just might finish my whole basement for THAT.
So...grammy was watching a Grammy show about the Grammies...
Your babysitting pit isn't deep enough - Caedon is way to agile to be contained by only four courses. Although - the fact that it is water tight may mean Josh and Aubri won't ever let you babysit again.
Lady Gaga is totally a woman! Thanks for the laugh!
