All the news that prints fits

...or something like that.

Mission #1 accomplished for today - one down and a half dozen to go.

The guys from Air Dynamics were here and did the heat pump inspection and cleaning, so we're good to go on that for another year. They also took a water sample so we'd know what we're in for as far as water treatment needs.

They approved of my abilities to give them directions - I've had a lot of practice lately with getting the trucking guys here for the mower. Hopefully, I get a call soon and they bring the field mower today.

Yesterday I heard about a call for stories about pirates, and lo, on the ride home the pirates launched a broadside attack on me 'ead, and I had the story. I just need to finish typing it in. I'll actually need pretty specific editing assistance on this one - from piratical and nautical knowledge in general to anyone who can remember events of 1651 clearly (I forget bits and pieces, although for some reason 1649 clear as a bell) and help with French nautical terms in particular.

Tonight, Deb and I embark on our yearly dinner - kids are getting shipped off to dragonflypug, although we're not sure if we're leaving them overnight. More holiday lights, potential driveway repair, and a holiday party over at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center might make the timing difficult.

Tonight, before we do Toys R Us, BN, and other shopping dinner, Deb will be taking Rachel to her Winter Wonderland school fair.
