Good evening. It's raining and 42.
My wife is back on antibiotics for the c-diff.

It's 0 100- going to bed. At least the heat has been broken with the bit of RAIN we got. Hope all stay well.

Bob- It took me 20 minutes to find where I had hidden my password! But I made it.
Thanks for all you do for this site.

Sorry about that. I suspect a lot of you were cussing me out. There’s a forgot password option on the login page that can be used to reset it if anyone reading this can’t log on.

Willie- In the lower left corner of your picture are several camping trailers. What are your plans for those trailers?
Are you thinking of a camp ground or maybe a trailer sales lot? I have about 12 similar trailers and cannot decide how to use them.

I have been playing with the ink jet printed signs on tissue paper decal/signs.
The biggest problem is the fresh ink runs when wet by the water/glue mixture used to secure the decal.
I spray the tissue now with a clear sealer and let it dry for 30 minutes before cutting out the decal. I wet the location with water and place the decal with tweezers. Brush the 50/50 glue mixture around the edges, gently. Let dry.
I used Microsoft Word to make signs with a solid font, darker colors work better on a white background. Two color fancy fonts tend to bleed and blur, even if sprayed. Wet tissue decals are delicate so be careful. Below is an example.

That shoe reminds me of the world famous “Bob’s Java Jive” in Tacoma, WA
