Supposedly a gift from his ex-wife. He thinks it has something to do with sailing…

Organic chem was sort of fun, as I recall, but admit to not recalling much of the content.

An odd thing though, I still occasionally have dreams I have to take tests like this, and of course at this point I don't know the answers.

Time to start laying patio tiles

Get some stone flour(?, Not sure what the proper name for it is in English) to seal the space between the stone with.

I wonder what the conversion efficiency is on stone flour....

About 1 pneumoconiosis per oz of (inhaled) dust, give or take.

I use polymeric sand, it needs a lot of rice hulls. Earthy and robust. Dry finish.

My daughter had her 4h dog show today at the fair. Her and our 2yr old bernedoodle rocked it.

It pairs well with a subvariety of Fuggle, called Rubble

Grout. But there's no space between these tiles

We've been banging between wet and heat all summer - it has been one of the wettest summers on record here yet there were stretches of insane heat mixed in. But finally the first toms of the year started ripening a few days ago. Been enjoying tomato sandwiches for lunch all week...

Cheers!

While driving back from Billings this evening I stopped along the west slope of the Little Rocky Mountains to take this pic of the sun setting over the Bear Paw Mountains, which are about 25 miles NW of the LR range. Wildfire smoke makes it hard to pick out the mountains but makes the sunset stand out.

The weather in our part of France has been much more normal than the past 10 years. It's been cooler with enough rain, but not too much. We've been eating tomatoes for a month now. Lunch most days is a salad: tomatoes, beets, carrots, boiled eggs, and canned tuna or mackerel..

Tomorrow we'll put a concrete border to hold the sand, when we get back we'll finish with a border of white marble and steps up to the upper yard.
It's 36 square meters, plenty of room and it's finished.

Looks good. Is it normal practice where you are to use sand as patio base? We always use a stone dust/aggregate mix, as it compacts solid and stays put. Hope your pavers don't shift.

We have 10cm of coarse gravel called base coarse, packed by a 5 ton roller. Then 6 cm of packed/rolled sand. Finally a concrete skirt to prevent sand from moving..

I was going to make a smarmy comment about mixing CM and TON in the same sentence, but being from the US I can't bring myself to use the metric system even in jest.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Yeah well, we have tons aswell you know, as in metric tons...

Once again it would have behooved me to remain silent and presumed ignorant than to open my mouth, pull the rug out from under my metaphors and attempt humor.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Fear not my less cognitively blessed friend, the humour you speak of is not fully lost, but the banter opportunity bequeathed upon myself simply could not be ignored.
In short, being American, you are forgiven.
Now I shall hastily halt my-self, else, alas, the mods shall be upon me.
