Sorry to hear this is happening to him. Hope the medication is effective!

Started watching Young Sherlock on Prime. It’s fun!

You sign a contract with the agent, now called a Buyer’s Agent. This is fairly new, BTW.

If you don’t end up buying anything you owe the agent nothing. If you do buy something, the agent’s commission will have been built in to the price you paid so you really don’t see it.

Why don’t you call the guy who listed the condo you like and ask him how it works? I’m sure he’d be happy to explain everything to you.

That’s what happened when I tried planting grocery store green pepper seeds

The plants I got were very small with only one or two tiny peppers.

If you like the listing agent maybe you could work with him to find a place.

Worse than the last Trump administration? Alternative facts and such?

The race is on!

Beautiful things!

The various RV forums are all discussing that hailstorm. Many RVs were destroyed. Even Airstreams didn’t survive.

Also from a thrift store, this book chronicles wooden boat building in/around Lake Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, 1900 through about 1970.

Beautiful things they are, and the photographs are wonderful!

@AndyD

Beautiful pictures!

Just watched a video where a guy picked a slice of tomato from a McDonalds hamburger and planted it. It grew remarkably well!

Odd looking, though. Shaped more like a Roma than a slicing tomato. Maybe they ship better or something. Grew it in a 5 gallon bucket filled with potting soil. Easy enough.

Gonna try it!

Oh dear. I’m so sorry this is happening.

I’m not far away. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Imagine that.

I wonder if your doc could prescribe some sort of rigid boot for you to put on for piano playing.

The internet likes to argue about whether or not bay leaves taste like anything. Some suggest making bay leaf tea to try for yourself - and I did!

Water just under boiling:

Steeped 4 dried bay leaves (fairly new jar) for 10 minutes:

And I tasted it.

There is definitely flavor there but I’m not sure I can describe it. It just tastes good. Maybe like chamomile? Very subtle, and I wondered if a longer steeping time would bring out more flavor.

10 more minutes. My tea is getting cold.

At twenty minutes the flavor is definitely there. Conjures up memories of beef stew. Still not a strong flavor, but cooking it for an hour in something like stew would likely bring out more.

Try it for yourself!

What a great concept!

@Rontuner

Did you notice any difference in how it cuts after you changed the bevel?

But the garage would be so worth it!

Is that one of the Japanese knives with the single bevel edge?

I think it depends. Sometimes you’re not allowed to modify the exterior, sometimes restrictions apply to the interior as well. Can’t imagine the restrictions would apply to the 50’s flat roof additions but maybe the history of it being a detention center means the additions, which need new roofs right now, are protected as well.

Prolly explains the price. Pity, it would make a lovely 3000 SF home with an awesome 7000SF heated garage!
