–Took Grace to S*T Strawberries for strawberries, zucchini, tomatoes, blackberries.
–No swim: pool is only 83 on this cloudy day.
Month: July 2022 (Page 1 of 4)
–My back, which has been hurting for a month or two, stopped hurting today. Totally unpredictable.
–Took a swim.
–Tom Elken and I drove our cars (Mustang, BMW M235i) to Ione. Had donuts at tar Donuts. A little nerve-wracking following him on hills and curves, but the Mustang is a really really super car.
–Made a pizza. Best yet: thawed dough ball, home-made sauce, fresh grated mozzarella, 12 minutes on the stone at 450. I believe I’ve been seriously overcooking pizzas in the past–22 minutes in the cast iron skillet, maybe close to that on the stone. This one was close to perfect.
–Went to The Gun Range to pick up checks for consigned guns.
–Trying to get tough with Lee Elliott over the money he owes me. I really don’t know what his problem is.
–Shirogorov-style pivot bolts came in. Beautifully machined, but they only work in the F3. They fit in a couple other models, but there’s blade play (pivot shaft too small).
–JB Weld high-temp silicone came in. Fixed Grace’s (from her mom) leaking pan, I hope.
–Went to take a swim, but spent most of the time scraping off algae. Added a bunch of chlorine.
–Rode with Tom Elken in El Dorado Hills. Beautiful place–thanks to a whole lot of watering.
–Scheduled a visit to the Stanford Court condo for sale, then the woman (who bought it in October for $520k and just listed it for $550k) decided to withdraw it from the market. Crap.
–Took a swim.
–Put the Mustang in Sport+ mode and drove around White Rock/ Grant Line. Killer car.
–Barbecued turkey burgers and corn for dinner. Yum!
–Put camellia oil on my knives.
–Did a third seasoning cycle with flaxseed oil on the spider skillet.
–Spent a while getting the universal garage door opener in the Mustang to work. Several “official” sources were useless. Finally found ONE post at a Mustang forum that described the (ridiculous) procedure.
–Made pizza for dinner. Pretty good.
–Took Grace in the Mustang to Old Sac in search of a William Glen kitchen store. Turns out the article highlighting it was a year old, and (as Siri knew) the store was gone. We still managed to get some Christmas gifts at an art collective.
–Took a swim.
