    Home Repairs

    That is not water. It is the sealant used to seal the two panes together and retain the nitrogen gas that is under vacuum. It appears later in insulated glass life cycles on some windows. At least your windows are proper and use a metal internal spacer frame. They chose poorly on the sealant as...

    Smoked Salmon Sushi!

    Chili crisp and some sort of Sambal are usually present in my fridge. I made an omelette the other morning that was not really hot but made my scalp tingle. I thought it was a stronger wakeup than coffee.

    Smoked Salmon Sushi!

    Did they feed the kids those snackables treats for lunch? We are raising marshmellows. I hire them. I have 2 right now that are entirely shocked by what customers expect of them.

    Your Weather 2023

    Yep. North of us and just strong F1 winds. That is enough to find the weak trees and houses in Birmingham suffered the falling trees and loose tin roofing type damage.

    One Alaskans greenhouse

    I remember a small yellow datsun truck Dad owned getting dug out one spring at the airport in Bethel. There was really high drift on it. I saw Anchorage had a snow emergency and thought to myself how is @Alasgun making do?
