Thought for the Day:
“Even if what you’re working on doesn’t go anywhere, it will help you with the next thing you’re doing. Make yourself available for something to happen. Give it a shot.” -Cormac McCarthy
Wishing all y’all a mid-month Monday where the projects on which you’re working get you somewhere (and any mishaps or shortfalls are educational, for improving your future endeavors).
Today’s Question:
Have you done an outdoor/outside repair, of something that’s meant to be able to handle any kind of weather conditions? No, I'm not handy that way, and we don't have extreme weather where I live. Extra Credit: Have you ever ridden on a jet-ski ? Do you have a floatation device (life preserver, pool noodle, inner tube, etc.)?
No and no. Do you have a spray bottle filled with water ? If so, what purpose/task do you use it for ? Yes. I use it to dampen clothing when I'm ironing, to dampen my hair when I need to restyle it, and also to mist my air plant. When I had pet birds, I used a spray bottle to cool them off on hot days. Bonus:
Have you ordered something that had a tracking (of the shipped package) number ?
If so, did it end up arriving at your home days or weeks earlier or later than you’d expected ?
Yes, many times. Tracking is usually pretty accurate, although recently a package came about five days before the scheduled date. Just for Fun: Is there a food or drink product that comes with preparation instructions/directions, which you disregard/don’t follow because you’ve tailored how you make it based on personal experience/preference?
I've adapted some older recipes for a modern kitchen. For example, a casserole recipe calls for heating up liquid ingredients, then adding shredded cheese to melt. I just put all the ingredients in the microwave and call it good. Some older recipes call for too much salt, so I either omit it or use a fraction of the amount. If you buy a cold beverage, when you have the choice do you pick metal can or bottle (plastic or glass)?
I prefer glass or metal cans to plastic. Which (cold) drinks do you like to add ice cubes to, and which ones do you *not* want ice added to?
Soft drinks or cocktails = ice cubes
Wine or beer = no ice
Have you ever found old food that had fallen behind/under a piece of heavy (rarely moved) furniture?
I've found mummified green peas under the refrigerator. Thanks, cloven!
Today’s Question: Have you done an outdoor/outside repair, of something that’s meant to be able to handle any kind of weather conditions ? - N/A
Extra Credit: Have you ever ridden on a jet-ski ? Do you have a floatation device (life preserver, pool noodle, inner tube, etc.) ? - Nope
Do you have a spray bottle filled with water ? If so, what purpose/task do you use it for ? - I don't.
Bonus:
Have you ordered something that had a tracking (of the shipped package) number ? - Everything or just about.
If so, did it end up arriving at your home days or weeks earlier or later than you’d expected ?- I can't recall any delays.
Just for Fun:
Is there a food or drink product that comes with preparation instructions/directions, which you disregard/don’t follow because you’ve tailored how you make it based on personal experience/preference ? - N/A as I pretty much only drink water.
If you buy a cold beverage, when you have the choice do you pick metal can or bottle (plastic or glass) ? - The only water that gives me that choice is Perrier and it doesn't matter.
Which (cold) drinks do you like to add ice cubes to, and which ones do you *not* want ice added to ? - I rarely use ice. If out (in the past since things have changed so much here) I always ask for a little ice and lemon for my water. Too much ice and I will return it. I have done so several times.
Have you ever found old food that had fallen behind/under a piece of heavy (rarely moved) furniture ? - I can't recall this happening to me but maybe a long time ago. I drop and I toss.

Extra Credit:
Have you ever ridden on a jet-ski ? No Do you have a flotation device (life preserver, pool noodle, inner tube, etc.) ? Not currently. I had one when I fished. It was required for competitions. Do you have a spray bottle filled with water ? If so, what purpose/task do you use it for ? Not filled with water. It's for my windshield so I can take photos through it. The bugs don't come off as easily with windshield wiper fluid.
Bonus:
Have you ordered something that had a tracking (of the shipped package) number ? All of them. If so, did it end up arriving at your home days or weeks earlier or later than you’d expected ? On time or earlier except for the early days of covid 19.
Just for Fun:
Is there a food or drink product that comes with preparation instructions/directions, which you disregard/don’t follow because you’ve tailored how you make it based on personal experience/preference ? I don't measure anything but that's about it. Don't do recipes. If you buy a cold beverage, when you have the choice do you pick metal can or bottle (plastic or glass) ? If it is going to be drunk later on, I much prefer cans. Canned drinks get cold the fastest and are colder than anything in a glass or plastic bottle. Which (cold) drinks do you like to add ice cubes to, and which ones do you *not* want ice added to ? I drink soda, iced tea and water from the individual bottles/cans they come in. I drink juice, milk and lemonade from plastic 18oz cups with no ice cubes. If I purchase fast food drinks, I like ice but I don't have ice cubes in my home. Have you ever found old food that had fallen behind/under a piece of heavy (rarely moved) furniture ? No, you would smell it before you see it has been my experience and that doesn't take long.
Today’s Question:
Have you done an outdoor/outside repair, of something that’s meant to be able to handle any kind of weather conditions ? Not any more. We usually just hire someone now.
Extra Credit:
Have you ever ridden on a jet-ski ? Do you have a floatation device (life preserver, pool noodle, inner tube, etc.) ? No jet-ski for me. I did the inner tube thing when I was little. I am not much of a water person. Give me hiking, mountains...
Do you have a spray bottle filled with water ? I do not.
Bonus:
Have you ordered something that had a tracking (of the shipped package) number ? Yes
If so, did it end up arriving at your home days or weeks earlier or later than you’d expected ? Normally the same day.
Just for Fun:
Is there a food or drink product that comes with preparation instructions/directions, which you disregard/don’t follow because you’ve tailored how you make it based on personal experience/preference ? Yes
If you buy a cold beverage, when you have the choice do you pick metal can or bottle (plastic or glass) ? I would pick a bottle.
Which (cold) drinks do you like to add ice cubes to, and which ones do you *not* want ice added to ? I prefer my drinks room temperature.
