"..#OtD 22 Feb 1943 three German White Rose activists, Christoph Probst, Hans and Sophie Scholl, were executed by guillotine for urging the overthrow of the Nazi government. As the blade fell, Hans called out "Let freedom live!".."

After a come to Jesus meeting, finally got the dry wallers on track I think, They put the project behind, their work is good but they had a bit of an issue with showing up. I have ceilings now, and paint on the walls but they still have the master bath and closets to finish.

Got the flooring layout planned and materials selected, carpet and LVL, bought most of the lights and ceiling fans today, think I know what appliances I am going to get but, despite being put "at the top of the priority list" (3 times now) still waiting on the insurance to come across with a contents check.

Bathroom vanities are still up in the air atm, not sure to buy new or try to reuse the old ones. Kitchen cabinets are about a week out from delivery, so I am told.

Had local glass people in Friday to give an estimate on replacing the scratched glass in the sliding door between the house and the sunporch, expect to hear from them Mon or Tues. The old door mostly survived and it is higher quality than I can afford new so I hope to save it.

Forward progress but still a lot of details to nail down and complete. Looking at April to be back in if there are no more big issues.
I have no exposure to drywall guys at all. But they're the same everywhere. This has got to be a shitty year to be waiting for insurance adjusters. The losses across the country right now are like a nuclear war.

Our national debt: 36.5 trillion dollars. If US dollars were miles, that would be 6.2 light years...because that's the kind of numbers we're up to thanks to the Hate-America-First crowd. That's a couple of light years past the Alpha Centauri star system.

light year is the distance light travels in a year...speed of light is 186,000 miles and change per SECOND (670,616,629 mph)....6 trillion miles. I don't know what a trillion is... I deal in hundreds.

Now that I'm a proud black man, I wonder if my world perspective will change.

I was amazed at how fast drywall went up in those Levittown houses. The mudders would walk house to house without taking off the stilts. I had a temporary gig installing electrical outlets and switches at the time.

"DHS will release some of Prince Harry's immigration docs amid allegations he lied about drug use
Prince Harry faces accusations of lying about prior drug use when moving to the US"


ICE handcuffing and deporting Princess Harry and his wench would be  comic legend.

Oh wait...don't you get automatic citizenship if you marry a US citizen? I thought that's the way it worked. Some rich Venezuelan chick offered me ten grand to marry her when I was in my 20's living in Tucson.
