Found a battery tucked under the back of the bridge on a grand a few weeks ago - that one took a while to find! Buzzes and noises in and around pianos can be so difficult - often it is something on or near the piano instead of the piano itself.

MrsTuner has been using it for a number of years since she has sensitive skin that gets dried out by anything harsh..

Good one, @andyd

@mary-anna Seems it's a review of everything we've found so far. In the UK many of our modern roads are on or follow the roman roads, or drovers roads. We live within 100 yards of one that is partly under tarmac(and was excavated by archaeologists), then continues as a farmers muddy track. @Daniel Yes the Romans were in Scotland [image: 11508.jpg] [image: 11506.jpg]

Wow. That's an impressive figure. I met old Japanese people in Hawaii occasionally including women, men, and couples. They were fascinating. The were so gentle.

@realplayer Oh, no worries. My palate has never been accused of being sophisticated. I'm glad your career brought you to Lugano, and that you enjoyed the cheese!

Saw a picture of the real Pete this morning. He is wearing a red majorette-like uniform with knee high white boots. Of course I can not find that now.

Canada invited to become first 'associate member' of the EU European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Wednesday that Canada has been invited to become the first “associate member” of the EU. She announced the move during her 2026 State of the Union address in Strasbourg, to an audience including not only MEPs but also Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who attended her speech in the midst of a trade war with the US. Since late August, the Canadians have been pushing hard for the Europeans to build a closer relationship with them, though full EU membership is not an option as Canada is not a European state. During her speech before the MEPs on Wednesday, von der Leyen invited the country to become “the first associate member of the European Union". “We share one ocean, one set of values, one way of seeing the world. And we will now build our shared future as well,” she added. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/09/16/canada-to-become-first-associate-member-of-the-eu

Apparently, that's real news. So there might not be a United Kingdom. Also, there's news the EU has invited Canada to become an associate member of the EU, and it looks like Canada will accept.

Ok, demolish the building. Burn it to the ground. See what that does. Ok, it's an open book test. The answer is nothing.

The last day of summer is near. I'm glad.

5.0 Since I've never used Uber and the default starting score is 5.0

And I ended up letting a house go back to the bank, thereby trashing my credit for 7 years. No matter, I wasn’t in a position to buy anything anyway.
