So, I was looking at Tesla stock prices and noticed they weren't changing. I asked Google why the stock market was closed. Okay, I understand but it's Monday and not a holiday.

Oh, it's Sunday.

I'm looking forward to going to work tonight and interacting with other human beings. Myself and my friends have all been staying inside this week due to all the people in our area overcrowding everything.

This is not that important but I thought it was cool. I have been trying at times to unscrew the aerator from my bathroom faucet to see if it was clogged and making the water flow really low. It was pretty much impossible to get off. So the magic of the internet to the rescue. Turns out if you put masking tape on your pliers, it forms a really good grip. I tried it and worked like a charm. I never would have thought of that solution.

When it comes to fixing things - car, house, etc. - Utube has been a life saver for me many times.

It's been about three years since I started selling some of my photos in a local gift shop. I'm still in the red on this deal but always get a sense of satisfaction when someone buys one of my photos. Sold two 8x10 and a 5x7 over the holidays. In looking at my list, most of what has been sold are photos of a local lighthouse, fishing vessels, and a few other local spots. Today when I was paid, I just handed the money back by purchasing winter hats for my older nephews just because. Support small business, right? The hat looks like it says New Dedford but that "D" is a "B" made from the outline of a whale's tail. It's not as defined as I thought. Looks better when the hat is worn and it's stretched out a bit. Neither nephew ever lived here but their parents did. I think they will appreciate the hats, especially the one who lives near Syracuse. It's cold there

It's a good idea to do. I unscrew the aerator from both my bathroom and kitchen faucets regularly and clean out the screens. Most important thing to do when working on sinks is to put the drain stopper in so you don't lose parts down the drain.

^ Well, the flow was so low I investigated. Turns out that was intentional with this particular aerator. So I took it off. No water flow problem now!!

I periodically investigate my two rainhead shower heads, also. Found a whole lot of stuff in them one time. Big difference after cleaning.
