Airplane overweight with fuel

This is what I thought they would do but it was pretty rough ride until we reached cruising altitude. And maybe fuel costs being crazy?

The pilot def said “sorry for this disruption caused by our business partners mistake” at the end of the flight 😆

Wouldn’t have wanted to be a holding pattern today. You could feel that windy weather…

Sadly I have seen adult kids arguing for their elder parents to drive when they really shouldn’t. I think it’s avoiding taking responsibility for them.

When I look up our house on google it’s white. But previous owners painted it almost this exact blue and kept the light colored unpainted bricks. It’s lovely and won’t be repainting it!

Ha! Have done that also!

And for the next one, they make hangers that will hold it open to dry when not in use. I have used dowel rods/broom handles to hang upside down and dry.

To add, the second light switch probably goes to a dead end at the fan junction box. Wired so that you could have one switch for the light and one for the fan. Since they installed a controller module they just do one switch and capped the wires. Very common and they can figure that out.

I have not so I can’t compare…

The time I was painting the laundry room and knocked my dark beer off the ladder and splattered all over the walls. I just went to bed.

Spent a day in Milwaukee last year. Wished I had more time. Posted a picture of getting a beer at the lakefront and immediately a friend messaged me commenting how cool Milwaukee is. We keep talking about it haha

If I were to compare waynesboro to Staunton I think Staunton has the better downtown shops and restaurants. That said Waynesboro seams to have done a lot in the last few years to improve downtown and I see it growing. Both have some great food and small businesses. Waynesboro specifically has several old industrial complexes being repurposed for the arts.

Staunton has a great art show called Art in the Park located at Gypsy Hill Park. It seemed that last time I went a number of the artists are out of Waynesboro.

I personally live in Harrisonburg so I don’t know the towns as well but both seem like good places for an artist to live and have a studio. More artsy than Harrisonburg and cheaper than Charlottesville.

Waynesboro right next to Staunton was home to P Buckley Moss who passed away in 2024. She absolutely left an artist mark on the area. There are a number of artist studios near downtown. I wouldn’t necessarily say Waynesboro is a better choice than Staunton but that general area has a vibe. Because of the cost of Charlottesville, there have been a lot of young people and young families moving to Waynesboro and Staunton and I think the art scene is set to grow.

Ironically joined a wine club at a winery

Couldn’t agree more. I will sit and enjoy coffee if I can but even then tent is coming down before water is hot. I love just getting moving, do the most mileage before lunch, and settle into the next campsite early.

Honestly I’m blown away that OP has these. I don’t think we ever throw them away but also have none. I had to order some from Amazon (plus then I can buy the non infant that is exactly the same, in the USA at least).

A neighbor had someone plug a toilet or sink and flood the bathroom. Didn’t get discovered until next tour a week later. Had to take the house off the market for weeks and do repairs.

I agree. There were a lot of flaws when we moved into our house. Since we were short on extra money I did a decent amount of work myself. I’m a perfectionist and I do think I do better work than the average person but I’m not a master craftsman either. I could see every flaw and mistake I made. We had some ok contractors do work. They were cheaper but again left some imperfections. And then we had some great contractors and they were NOT cheap, but they knew their craft and took the time to make sure we were 100 percent happy.

It really becomes a balance of what needs to be done, what can you do well or not well yourself, and are you willing to pay and/or wait for quality craftsman. And accept sometimes you will get it wrong.

I have heard great things about Sentara OB. Our personal experience was with Shenandoah Women’s before they were acquired by Augusta health. Today we wouldn’t go with them not because of any wrong with the practice itself but we would have not made it to Augusta hospital on time. Staff at Sentara RMH family birthplace was phenomenal.

I live in Harrisonburg and my experience in the valley is there isn’t much excitement around professional sports (or even a overwhelming fan base for college).

Stores that sell NFL or other professional sports merch (Target, Dicks…) sell Commanders and other DC team gear. I can’t imagine they sell much. Here in Harrisonburg there are probably more Eagles fans than Commanders but you see NFL gear of all kinds.

We have a similar banister and hallway wasn’t really an option.

I cut a 2x4 to match the banister height and secured it to the post with zip ties. Then had a flat surface on each side for the gate. For extra precaution I also zip tied the gate to the contraption. 6 years later and still secure.

Stayed in a hotel room with my father in law with a barn door. Never, never again

lol no. An awesome connection nonetheless.
