As I opened the clothes dryer this morning, I realized I didn't have my Yankees sweatshirt on last night. The rainout was a blessing in disguise.

I went in so many directions on this one but I finally got there with a guess to spare.

Joe:
Oliva Protege Habano Robusto - 20/39.99
I was unfamiliar with this and took a closer look. Only to realize it's a factory second.

Probably the reason we had the rainout in the first place.

By the way, my furnace is humming this morning.

Work is moving along in my kitchen remodel. I'm mostly using the appliances already. Painters are here today.
In a separate renovation project that started over a year ago. Been waiting for this window to be replaced since last November. Of course, they haven't been paid yet either.
But the grid should be looking more like the 2nd photo. Not sure why they went with the prison look for just the one. I can't even begin to tell you how many times they've come back with the wrong part. What the heck is wrong with people?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221018/e7f483ef79c8ad73d40dce2d21156c9c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221018/aa21d7e32182af9be5e1701fde00aca6.jpg)

I mention the window folks because they're expected to come back again today. I'll believe it when I see it.

Idiots, the whole lot of them.
They had three items to address:
One, was to replace that prison looking window in the main bathroom... Done. (See first photo).
Two, was something too complicated and boring to explain here which apparently can't be done and I'll just have to live with it.
Three, and by far the easiest of the requests, was to replace one of the screens which was too tight and had to be forced in and out of the window, causing it to break. (See second photo). So why is the new one a different color (darker)? Let's try again, boys!!!

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 18, the 291st day of 2022.
There are 74 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 18, 1867, the United States took formal possession of Alaska from Russia.
On this date:
In 1648, Boston shoemakers were authorized to form a guild to protect their interests; it’s the first American labor organization on record.
In 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time).
In 1898, the American flag was raised in Puerto Rico shortly before Spain formally relinquished control of the island to the U-S.
In 1954, Texas Instruments unveiled the Regency TR-1, the first commercially produced transistor radio.
In 1962, James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honored with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA.
In 1968, the U.S. Olympic Committee suspended Tommie Smith and John Carlos for giving a “Black power” salute as a protest during a victory ceremony in Mexico City.
In 1969, the federal government banned artificial sweeteners known as cyclamates (SY’-kluh-maytz) because of evidence they caused cancer in laboratory rats.
In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, overriding President Richard Nixon’s veto.
In 1977, West German commandos stormed a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner on the ground in Mogadishu, Somalia, freeing all 86 hostages and killing three of the four hijackers.
In 1984, actor Jon-Erik Hexum, 26, was taken off life support six days after shooting himself in the head with a pistol loaded with a blank cartridge on the set of his TV show “Cover Up.”
In 2001, CBS News announced that an employee in anchorman Dan Rather’s office had tested positive for skin anthrax. Four disciples of Osama bin Laden were sentenced in New York to life without parole for their roles in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
In 2010, four men snared in an FBI sting were convicted of plotting to blow up New York City synagogues and shoot down military planes with the help of a paid informant who’d convinced them he was a terror operative. (James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen were each sentenced to 25 years in prison.)

I wouldn't recommend Power Home Remodeling for any job, big or small. That was a mistake on our part. At this point, all windows are new and hopefully will never need to be replaced again.

Ten years ago: The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that a federal law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman was unconstitutional. (The following June, the Supreme Court would use that case to strike down provisions keeping legally-married same-sex couples from receiving federal benefits that were otherwise available to married couples.)
Five years ago: President Donald Trump rejected claims that he had been disrespectful to the grieving family of a slain U.S. soldier in a phone call to the family. Instead of accepting awards at the CMT Artists of the Year show in Nashville, singer Jason Aldean and other stars honored the victims of the mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas.
One year ago: Colin Powell, a trailblazing soldier and diplomat who was the first Black person to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and also the first to serve as secretary of state, died at 84 of COVID-19 complications. Jury selection got underway in the trial of three white men charged with fatally shooting a Black man, Ahmaud Arbery, as he was running in their Georgia neighborhood. (All three would be convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.) Attorneys said the families of those killed, wounded and scarred in the 2018 Florida high school massacre had reached a $25 million settlement with the Broward County school district.

We also have a very cheap owner, so he'll find a way to screw this up.
