A fun and busy day
Went to the Gun Show -- Lulu got a nice small lady's knife, I got a magnesium fire-starting rod and a small laser pointer for one of my guns. Ran into a couple people we knew -- small community.
Did a quick run through Costco and came home and fixed hamburgers for dinner. Lulu made a
Sriracha mayonnaise and it went really well with the burger -- add this to our recipe collection...
Turner Movie Chanel is doing a Science Friday series for the next couple weeks. Last Friday, they had one of my favorites so I DVR'd it and we watched it with dinner -- 1951 Alec Guinness in
The Man in the White Suit (
here and
here)
Lulu loved it -- it was one of my favorites too.
Built a big fire -- our furnace started making a bad noise last week and stopped working entirely two days ago. I have a couple cords of wood stacked and ready so we have been enjoying wood heat. A tech came out to look at it and we can spend $500 to get it going again but the unit is 18 years old and well beyond end-of-life for the model. Looking at installing a heat pump but money is really tight right now. The parts to fix the noise are $250 so will probably do that and start saving the $10K for the full heat-pump system for summer. It will also add air conditioning and will be a major plus...
