Project: Exercise Walks
Status: Modus Interruptus

Monday morning. My errand day. I had only a brief window of time to get groceries before it became unbearable hot in the car. Therefore, no Walk.

Tuesday morning. Excessive heat warning for the entire day. Even at 0545 it was too hot to safely leave the house. Therefore, no Walk.

Wednesday morning. A storm front moved through. It ushered in cooler temps, but rained without letup. Therefore, no Walk.

Today, Thursday. Reasonably cool morning temps for this time of year. No rain. Dry streets. I walked Worries that three days off in a row might negatively impact performance proved groundless.

Nice to know that you've still got some resilience yet!

I love that planer

mirocu, that is a nice-looking window you have there.

Thanks! We found it hidden when clearing out an old storage. With that frame on it will look nice beside the other window on the tractor garage

Good work ‘Rocu!

Thanks! Don't have a picture up yet to show where I put them but will do so asap

Strange. |I associate the Crow with Nocturnal, but the Planer Vortex is more Molag Bal's thing.

Subject: Potential large amount due for what has always been an insurance-covered Dental exam/cleaning
Status: Nipped in the bud

Had the first of two routine yearly dental exams+cleaning on 29 Aug. Received a statement from my Dental Insurer yesterday afternoon. It shows that I owe the Dentist $160 for that visit. Too late to contact my dentist yesterday, I called immediately after today's exercise-walk. According to them, my account shows "0" due, including the 29th. The two "not covered" items are routine write-offs. (The exam itself went well. No cavities or other dental issues. I was complimented on having noticeably less tooth stain than is usual for me, likely due to a change in toothpaste combined with dietary changes.)

Good news indeed D! Glad it went well!

I got my ears pierced today. I had them pierced before, a long time ago. But I did not wear earrings for a long stretch through covid, and the holes closed up. I went to a tattoo shop down the street from me to get it done this time. It was a big difference from when I had them pierced the first time in a mall Claire's, and a teenager working part-time used the gun on me. This was an actual professional piercer doing it. She was really cool to hang out with as she took her time and did it right. We are about the same age, so we talked about watching the Brady Bunch as kids, and Conjunction Junction on School House Rock, and Saturday morning cartoons. All in all it was a good experience. They were really friendly people in the tattoo place, which is what I expected.

Glad the ear piercing went smoothly. Gotta keep them 'rrings in there now!

Conjunction junction
What’s yo fu-unction?

I’ve heard that actual needles are better than guns for piercings. Glad you had fun!

Yes, the needles are much better. The guns basically punch a hole through your ear lobe with brute force. While the needles, well, poke a much neater hole through. The needles are probably cleaner too. They sterilized the needle and earrings before doing the procedure, using an electrified steam bath thing. I think the people with guns just douse them with alcohol and roll with them.
