We actually gave away our old dive tanks to a dive shop. Owner had gone diving with my dad a few times. They participated in an underwater pumpkin carving contest at some point. He was sad when my dad died but he gave us some $ for some of the equipment & other stuff we just let him have to pass on to others as freebies or use for dive lessons. Back in Guam though, he still had a dive tank from the 1960s or 70s & the dive shop there wanted to put it in a museum. LOL.
I didn't enjoy diving much. Tank would pop up and hit me in the back of the head sometimes bc the vests never fit right. Like Conan O'Brien, I have long legs and an inordinately short torso.
Today was a mostly lazy day. I did a little cleaning, fed the animals, and made a last minute trip to the store to get gas and a blanket for the truck. It's going to be getting colder so a blanket will be nice before it gets warmed up. Plus my friend is super skinny & has no body fat so he gets very cold very fast. I'm taking him to the doctor tomorrow & want him to be warm. Need to find and wash the heated blanket that went in the truck. One of the dogs peed on it while on the way to the vet.
I can't remember if I stated my plans already or not, but I was thinking about the window trim for the shower (since Mom was not Ok with just covering the window & wants the shower wall cut around it. I got a surround that the mfr said can be cut. The Sterling window trim kit was too small & too expensive. Got a window kit for $100 less that was larger-- Mustee thermoplastic Duratrim (3 pieces). They say to cut it to size, but I was thinking that since it's relatively thin, I could attempt to lightly score the back & use a hair dryer to warm it enough to try to bend it up at the corners of the sill to make a better seal, then overlap the side pieces. I've seen people do that with plastic & a hair dryer does get hot enough. So long as I have a straight edge, if it breaks off then it's still ok bc it will be like cutting it. I'd start with only a 2" piece & if it fails horribly, I still have enough leftover to cut further down. It's a 24" rough opening and the piece is 36".
