USPS let me down yesterday. No MegaFlash in the mailbox. Should arrive today.
Haven't heard anything more about the GLP-1 prescription, nor the results of the sleep test. I suppose I should check in with them.
Took along the E-PM1 again this morning. I noticed yesterday in On This Day... that it was a year ago I had the same sort of yen for the Pen. Weird. It'll probably go back in the drawer again soon, probably when I start feeling like I need to be carrying a long zoom.
Mitzi and I went to a presentation by the Schuyler County Historical Society at the Watkins Glen Welcome Center. The Schuyler County Museum is over in Montour Falls, but it's still undergoing renovations and about a month behind schedule. They should reopen next month.
Two of the three brief talks presented discussed the Haudenosaunee people, and their experience during the Revolutionary War. There's going to be a book discussion group about the Sullivan Campaign that I think I want to participate in join. ("Never end a sentence in a preposition." Mrs. Perretta.) That was a military campaign ordered by George Washington as president to drive the indigenous people from their lands and villages after the war.
There's a lot of history that I don't know around here. For instance, Massachusetts claimed a lot of what is now New York State. There was some dispute that was ultimately settled in Massachusetts' favor, and apparently they just sold it all off to land speculators and it was ultimately incorporated into New York anyway. Apparently Connecticut claimed a piece around here too.
The latest struggle in the new house is choosing a front door. Why should a front door cost more than $10,000? Yet, they do. No wonder we have a housing and affordability crisis.
And the documentation for the rough opening size is sometimes conflicting. Brad built the bucks for the three-panel sliding door and the front door yesterday, but he's going to rebuild the front door buck to make it a fraction of an inch wider because of the aforementioned conflicting information.
Plus, it gives Mitzi a chance to find a cheaper door.
As for me, I'd just like to get this HVAC thing resolved, or get on the GLP-1, so I can feel like I'm making progress on something, instead of just marking time here.
Max the Electrician gets back from vacation next week, so hopefully we can get on his schedule so we can get the power line going, so we can get the water line buried, so we can backfill the excavation.
But the beat goes on, even if it's just marking time.
