TimesToCome

It’s been chilly here the last few days and I’m afraid the summer here ruined me, I’m cold and can’t wait for warmer weather. It’s hard to believe I spent most of my life in New England, ’cause I am totally wimping out on this 60′ weather.

I made storms for the skylights and put them up yesterday. I think they are helping. I need to put up more support tabs around them the Plexiglass is not as stiff as I’d like. They were simple enough to put together, Plexiglass cut to fix, weather stripping on the back side. I found some white plastic edging, like the stuff you used to hold reports together in high school to trim the edges. I used mirror clips to mount them. Later today I’ll deal with insulating that hole-room in the attic.

I made progress on the running as well, I’m back to a slow run for 3 miles and a fast run for 1 mile. It’ll be tough to get any workouts in next week with the holiday.

Banana leaves are used for wrapping mostly fish, sometimes other foods, and cooking. Persimmons as near as I can tell are used only in salads. I think I’ll try some of them before moving onto other odd items I’m finding in the supermarkets here.
