Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

While we were on vacation, the pool pump went out. Had to order the new one, took a week to get here. Meanwhile, the pool essentially turned into an algae-filled frog pond in this heat and humidity. The pump was installed today, and I've been treating it with various things to kill the algae, and as a result, committing mass genocide on millions of tadpoles I've seen in there.

In the last week and a half, I've ripped up carpet and laid a new flooring in our music room, had a new pool pump installed (had help with that), got the pool from frog pond to crystal clear again, installed a new irrigation control system outside, fixed a bad sprinkler head, and tracked down and replaced a bad outlet that was causing every other outlet on that particular GFI circuit to short out. Most of this was done by watching YouTube videos when I ran into problems. We have about a month of summer weather left, I'm not doing shit from here on out.

Time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, friend.

We are expanding our back deck to fit the full frame of the covered portion this weekend. Have lived here for seven years and have been wanting to this since about day two.
