–Overcast, cool, smoky.
–No swim: high of 80 and no sun kept pool at 80.
Month: September 2020 (Page 3 of 3)
–Cleaned up patio after yesterday’s winds.
–Swam .5 miles in 82 degree pool. Chilly for several laps, then okay.
–Mailed out Shigefusa 180 that I sold.
–Rolex Mk 3 bezel insert came in. Couldn’t mount it, or two others, in the bezel. Turns out at least two of the bezels (don’t remember if I measured all three) are seriously out of round: at least 1 mm bigger in the 12–6 axis than in the 3–9 axis. Just bizarre. There’s an $1,100 tool for expanding/shrinking bezels; don’t know if I’d want to risk trying it on a thin aluminum bezel insert.
–Got 13 sesame bagels for $8 at Noah’s.
–Decided not to ride tomorrow with Tom (again). It has already (4 o’clock) turned “red” outside, due I guess to more smoke in the air. Really miserable.
–Made pizza for dinner.
–Sold Shigefusa 180 gyuto at KKF for $675.
–Swam .5 miles.
–Gettin’ hot, didn’t do much.
–Took a swim; took a shower.
–Went to a couple of strawberry stands south, near/on Jackson. Got lots of strawberries ($8 and $7 for 3 baskets), plus squash and big yummy cherry tomatoes.
–Barbecued burgers, corn, squash. Yowza!
–Took a bike ride to Hagan Park. Nice day.
–Called 42nd Street Camera and finally got them to (manually) send an email with return label. Jerks…
–Took a swim.
–Tuned the sprinklers (turned them way down). Hope all this work results in a nicer lawn with no dry spots.
–Took a swim.
–Finished changing out sprinkler nozzles on the lawn. Will tune tomorrow. Discovered that using the old filter strainer with the new nozzle completely shuts the nozzle. This caused me no end of grief when last I worked on sprinklers, leading me to think a bunch of new nozzles were defective.
–Barbecued turkey burgers and an oto squash from Koreana. Not bad.
