Well howdy there internet people and those who rescue lost computer techs
It's troy again
TomO your wife is due to be sainted.
My own wife needs a vacation, and I keep thinking of Wisconsin from all the pics you're post. When I was little, we used to visit extended family in Waukesha WI, and go to whatever the deer park place was. I remember being amazed that every time we visited, someone would put a wired wraparound-the-bumper advertising thingie (nonsticky bumper sticker in today's parlance) around Dad's back bumper to advertise the Deer Park or whatever it is/was.
She's in a cycle where we can't get a solid week to make the drive past Chicago to get up there, but it's on the list for later. I've got an author friend that writes a mystery series set on the Mailboat on Lake Geneva, and it would be fun to coordinate trips with her and finally get to meet in person.
In other news, we have gutters! We were the last unit finished yesterday. No Amish crews on this part. In fact, haven't seen the Amish woodpeckers all week. Looks like they're on another project until the gutters get done. So, I don't have to move my patio furniture and grills just yet. But, rain is in the forecast, so who knows?

And, finally, my plantar fasciitis is on the mend. Been doing my stretches, my tennis ball massaging, and wearing the Birkenstocks. So, of course, bursitis in my left elbow is acting up.
hurts to rest my arm on the arm of the patio chair so I can type. 3D printing to the rescue... and I didn't even have to print anything.

That's the foam insert that wraps around a bottle of liquid resin for the 3D printer. I cut a 2-inch section out of it to raise my toes when I do my stair stretch for my foot. So, I trimmed off the sharp corners, and drop it over the metal arm. Then I let my elbow hang off the foam, leaving support for my forearm.
Today shall be plotting out the new mystery. I know who the victim and perps are. An architect stabbed with his own pencil! (stylus since he works on a tablet). Now to figure out all of the connections to the red herrings, and how to frame a merman for it.
