Friday

 

Beautiful 84 degrees, enjoying the shade and breeze by the water in Clearwater.

I did stretching and strength training for the day.

I found more screws, eyelets, and bolts on the outside of the house.

I missed these on my first go round.

They seem to be everywhere, for reasons unknown.

I plugged the holes with spackling. 

I'll spray paint them tomorrow, if I can find them again.

While I was already outside, I scrubbed the mold and mildew off this low wall shielding the garbage and recycling bin.

Better. When I spray paint the holes, I might put a little paint down low on this wall.

I picked up these white felt circles for our new cabinets. The clear plastic ones that came with the cabinets were too thick to be used on the back of the door handles because the door wouldn't close flush. When we placed the original ones on the door itself, they were too short and the door handle clunked on the cabinet frame. I've tried other options but they were either too thick or too thin. But these felt circles that I found today are the perfect thickness. 

The cabinets have soft-close doors, but that last "clunk" ruined the effect. Now they close softly without a sound.

I picked up this new sink strainer to keep the big stuff from getting in the garbage disposal. Our old one was a different design and too small. Debris would get through around the sides.

The bottom strainer is made of rubber. To empty it, you just pull the stopper inside out and the debris gets dumped in the garbage.

Last walk of the day at Stirling Park

We made it home just in time for an evening thunderstorm.

The rain cooled things down to 78 degrees.
