Busy today. We have a 15 ft by 20 ft wooden deck that we are going to now replace the decking. In Spring, before the grape vines grew, we replaced all the hand rails, steps, etc & stained. Now, it’s the decking. Hardest part is lifting up & removing the current planking. Old zinc nails don’t pull out easily.

Of course, wifey loves it when I use our kitchen island to lay out the cut pieces ....

Sounds like your police are like our policy and couldn't give too hoots. Shocking, and I hate it when people who are supposed to be protecting you are corrupt. Not good at all. I really hope that it does not get shut up and that consequences are paid in full. Good luck with all the appointments and I hope that they go well.
Sheesh. Was supposed to read like this:

Sjoe, Finally caught up. I was wayyy behind. Congratulations to everyone who got medals. You all did exceptionally well.

Oh Dark Lord would it be a problem if we could see who got what points? I would love to see how many points each one clocked up.

I spent the weekend, either working in my garden and getting things a little bit more where I want them, and then on Sunday my friend and I went to the nursery to do some plant shopping for the complex to improve the landscaping in the front. The two of us are busy re-doing the landscape in the front and I am having a ball doing it. But it is keeping me busy. I am also having to get various quotes to improve the security of our complex as well, so all in all it was a productive weekend, Oh I also got some plants for myself. Hubby knew that there was no way that I could walk into a nursey and not come out with some plants for myself. ?

Anyway Have a Happy Monday all. And todays and yesterdays puppy pic for Cathie:

I have a solar panel array on my roof, but opted to not bother with batteries. Too expensive, nowhere to store them, and something else to maintain.

Any overproduction goes back into the grid, and the electric company buys it. It's just a shame they don't buy it back at the same rate they sell it for. :(

And my batteries are relatively small 100 amp hours/each. For a whole house-hold system, (if u want storage) and a full battery bank = $$$

I don't think there's a ice cube's chance in hell of seeing points, Carol. Me thinks points are a figment of Adam's imagination!

Hmmm. Not exactly a problem but it would take too long.
There were 23 players with columns for Mission points, other points and minus points plus bonuses. Then a grand total.
-1 for asking.
Please look after Sporky II. :)
