There was no Monday Links post this week because The Wife and I celebrated our fourth anniversary by heading up to St. Augustine for the weekend. It’s a special place for us, and we enjoy seeing familiar sights. We spent more time around the fort than normal (not just because of the cannon demonstration). I needed to examine the grounds. I have a story idea worming around my head that involves the fort, necromancy, and other fabulous concepts. There was also the purchase of a new hat for me. It’s much more in the “Justified” vein.
During the time, I asked The Wife if she wanted to go see the new John Wick film. Her response was “I am not mentally prepared to handle that today.” There was further hilarity when MIL’s phone unexpectedly ran dry and then we couldn’t get a hold of her. Until we used the Echo in her room. Which she was unprepared to hear my voice coming out of it.
In a more serious vein, while we were gone, some thugs decided that the intersection at the front of our subdivision was a good place to do a street show. Let’s just say I was a bit concerned.
This week was also the “week of doors”. We replaced the original door on the master shower with a very nice sliding glass job. The one that came with shower stall was being difficult. And I didn’t like that the door opened out into the bathroom due to water going all over the floor. Of course, nothing goes smoothly, but the one small hiccup was just a small one that will have no real impact.
We also had a retractable screen door installed on the front door. Because the HOA will not let us screen in the front porch. Feckers. The installer also helpfully informed us that Ward Manor’s front door is crooked. Yay. Feckers. It made us glad we paid for install, because if we had to deal with that on our own? Let’s just say there would have been nasty words, frustration, tears, and probably blood. One thing we didn’t realize is that the screen door isn’t connected on the bottom. So, now it’s off to find a cat blocker of some type.
I wonder if they make plexiglass grates.
Now back to introducing MIL to Justified.
