-----------------------------------------------Other items of note-------------------------------------------------

Continuing to work on the kitchen/dining room remodel which has since expanded into the front entryway and to the downstairs stairwell. Also spending most of my other "blogging" time digitizing old geology notes. I have 9 binders or notes to go through. I am currently half way through Binder 5, so about halfway done in total. I will do more blog posts when those are done but this is a time issue and needs to be done sooner than later.
