Very Potholely . . .
Back at work this morning, I had a lot of prices to update in both the catalog and on the website. January is the prime time for companies to raised their prices, so it’s a busy time.
Plus a lot of companies use this time to introduce new products, which is much more time-consuming, since I have to take photos for both the catalog and website. Then in many cases I have to move things around, and sometimes even add pages.
Of course this means that both the index and the table of contents have to be updated. If the previous guy had only set the catalog up correctly to start with, Adobe InDesign would have automatically updated both when I add and subtract pages. Oh well.
We got another used machine in last week that I had to replace the power switch on this morning, and then check it out. Everything worked OK, except for the air system. Many of these machines have an extra-cost option of air cooling during the electrolysis treatment.
But this one was dead.
When I checked on a replacement, I found they were no longer made, and due to that, a new one was almost $200.
Yikes. It’s an air pump.
So checking Amazon, I found this one.
It’s slightly smaller, much quieter, more powerful, but with an adjustable output. And even better, it’s only $15.98.
Should be here on Wednesday.
When we came home from Jan’s eye appointment last Friday we found they were putting down new gravel on the road.
In the last month, with all the rain, it had become very potholely with too many to dodge around. Then today they came back through with a spreader/leveler and graded it out.
Looks and rides great.
Our son-in-law Lowell texted this over this afternoon. And I didn’t even know they were building one over there.

Yah!.

OK, what the hell are we supposed to do now?
