    I remember listening in on that. It was during the NYS AR Sale.

    Big storm came through last night around midnight. UHF/VHF antenna which is mounted on a 20 foot ground mounted mast (set in concrete) now has 45 degree polarization. I guess I'll have to put the auger on the tractor and dig another hole to re-set it. It also appears some sealing around the French doors in the master bedroom failed somewhere, and the wood flooring is twisting and warping. I wish I had started at the other end of the room when I laid the floor so pulling it up in the damaged area would have been very easy. Who Gnu? I'm not sure what I'm going to do here. The first order of business is to seal the shit out of the doors. Then, I guess I'll try to surgically remove the damaged section of flooring and see what kind of creative patchwork I can do. If push comes to shove and it doesn't look right to me, I guess I'll rip up the whole floor and start over. Pisser.

    Eddie: Cut out the bad flooring and put tile in to replace the area by the door. That takes care of the warped flooring and keeps you from having the same thing happen again in the future.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    As warped as Eddie is, I wonder how he can tell the floor is screwed up

    That's what I did before I put down the wood floors. I wish I'd have left the tile in place, but the main thing I need to do now, no matter what flooring there is, is to locate the source of the leak. I think I may have found it today, but won't know till the next storm; or short of that, the pressure washer.

    She's never had it so good. Just today, I let her outside in the sunlight for a little bit. I may do it again in a few weeks if she is a good girl.
