@LindaMarie you are welcome to chime in anytime.  I am not a trained mechanic.  I am not a trained boat repairwoman.  And I’m not a trained cabinet maker.  But I do all that and more.  I’ve made furniture I. The Shaker style complete with dovetail joints.  I made my daughter a memory chest out of cherry for her to keep her daughter’s things in after she died.  Again dovetail joinery.  I carved a memorial plate for the top that my daughter didn’t know I was doing.

 

you’ve been following the things on my boat.  This is my second attempt at the instrument panel first one never made it beyond the face plate which promptly wrapped .  This faceplate is made from King Starboard.  I know how I plan to Mount it to my helm but I am still figuring out how to attach my drink holder.  It’s also Starboard.  The thing about Starboard is it can’t be glued, you have to use mechanical fasteners.  To achieve that the sides are solid oak. So I can use wood screws.

 

@Artpetal your house sounds nice.  I’ve always like the style and craftsmanship used in them.  Unfortunately they are rarely properly cared for. The owner gets old and can’t keep it up.  Honestly that’s why I’m moving to a condominium I don’t want to have to keep fixing my house.

 

Getting ready to go to my group tonight.

 

hugs

Jamie, I’m sorry life took a left turn when it comes to your heater.  My daughter has a lot of trouble with her condensate pump as well.  But the way hers was installed, it doesn’t shut down the furnace, it just overflows on the floor.  They need to put alarms on those things.

 

I heard from Ask This Old House that they do make alarms you can get that go off when they detect water on the floor.

Speaking of vivid dreams, I have the strangest dreams these days.  I never used to and I wonder if it’s a result of my antidepressants or HRT.  Some are recurring.  Anybody else having strange dreams have a clue as to why?

 

I feel like my dreams are always strange, I like to think it's just a reflection of myself 😆

She doesn't terrorize the objects on those shelves behind you? I feel like my cat would have a field day with that.

Projects, projects, projects. I have had a few. Take Frankie for example.

She has been through a lot with me back then.

One night she gets smashed, has nothing to do with the bars I played in, I

think, don't remember that night.

Anyway I rebuilt the whole guitar, neck, peg head, electronics and named her Frankenstein. 

So then comes Lola. My wife bought her for me.

I didn't like how she sounded, but my wife bought her for me.

I gave her a name and replaced all the electronics.

So sweet now.

 

So now I have a new project.

Can you guess where it is going?

A Facebook friend recently posted about a text message he got from his water heater about “water detected “ and he was bewildered at first because he thought water heaters worked best when they contain water! However on inspection he discovered that his garage had flooded. So I guess it really is a thing! Maybe one day the appliances will talk to each other. Maybe the cutlery and the crockery will start communicating, and the dish will really run away with the spoon! LOL

Speaking of cats, this one lies cuddled up with me every night. When we got her five years ago she was a hissing spitting ball of fur. Her previous owner had abused her. If you got anywhere near her face she would leave you with a painful reminder! I was diagnosed with stage three cancer about a year later and she took it upon herself to nurse me back to health and would curl up with me on the couch when I was feeling miserable. We called her squeaky because of her high pitched meow. Today when I introduce her to people I will have her speak for herself. I pick her up and say “what’s your name” and give a little squeeze and she always says “squeak”!

McmasterCarr.com has almost every type of fastener. They aren't cheap though. When I was working as an industrial sheet metal worker, I had only had them be out of stock on my item twice in about 25 years.

Well now that I'm all wound up, last post.

I was asked about aging today, you know, a young -transgender- to an old -transgender-

sort of thing. Like what is different now?

 

My reply was simple. When I was young I was worried about my mail being lifted

from the box. Now I worry about it being lifted from some cloud.

No, neither of the cats are bad about getting on any of the bookcases or half walls. We do have three cat towers around the house so they can look down on us as they view their territory. We've also been luck that they don't sharpen their claws on our furniture. They use the rope pillars on the cat towers.

Amy doesn't get involved in what's on the screen, however she's very into the keyboard. Sheldon on the hand wants you to play cat videos on any device you're looking at. He also doesn't want to be held or confined in any manner.

Oh, BTW, the reason the cats don't mess with my instruments hanging on the

wall is true. They are scared I will plug them in.

No kidding, true. They live down here. Yeah I know...bad Linda....

They do.  My latest water heater (they all fail just as the warranty expires) has a pigtail that rests in the catch pan it sits in.  

 

Also when I had a flood at my house a few months ago I looked and found there are all kinds of leak or water intrusion devices available.

I have no clue why, but do have strange dreams where I'm young and athletic and enjoying that except I wake as me, old arthritic, and tired. But the memories are lovely to have, and I'm grateful my higher power once gave them to me and I enjoy watching sports with that in mind.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.
