25 Days Before We Head to Wisconsin

We just had a meeting with our Pulte customer representative about things that need fixing in our new home. They're still trying to weasal out of fixing our driveway. The latest weasally idea was that they want to stain the driveway. Anyone who knows anything could tell you that the stain would take differently on the patched areas and wouldn't solve the basic problem. The patched areas are eventually going to lift. Also, the patched areas make it look like someone has been painting on the driveway.

Our next project is to install a temporary drip system for the backyard so my plants don't die over the summer. Time for a Home Depot trip to get drip system supplies...someone decided to throw all our larger drip system stuff away a year ago because it was taking up space in the garage. On the otherhand, he was able to get our second car into the garage for the first time in years.

I'm going to drag HTP to the neighborhood orientation session tonight. He doesn't want to go. He's been trying to make up excuses ever since I signed us up for this session. He's going.

Today's Little Bit of Trivia

During the Vietnam War, tubes of superglue were put in U.S. soldiers' first-aid kits to help seal wounds. Special kinds of superglue are now used in hospitals worldwide, reducing the need for sutures, stitches, and staples. (It doesn't work on deep wounds or on wounds where the skin does a lot of stretching, such as over joints.)
