Upcoming upgrade imminent, Your column is carved to support a truss, not a rafter. (semantics.) You are accurately observant about the crown of the posts, but what about the foundation of the "indent" It is the carrying surface for the beam, and it could be decayed worse than the crown of the post, since dampness can gather there. You might want to examine the post with a tool there, to see if the bottom of the cut is still solid.

I often pause to observe the sky and its subtle changes. Today the shade drifts toward a soft gray, like a cherished blanket resting lightly over the afternoon. It isn't a somber gray; it feels reflective, the sort that invites a slower breath and a gentle pace. Against it, the leaves outside seem more vivid, little flags of green outlining every branch as they sway in a serene rhythm. When the air shifts, they respond with a patient dance that lingers just long enough to catch your gaze. Watching that gentle motion is a reminder to take a moment before the next one unfolds, to let the scene settle and expand in its own pace.

The house carries its own melody if you tune in closely. There's a low, steady hum from another room, perhaps a machine minding its chore, and a soft click that follows now and then, like a polite knock in the backdrop. I can hear my breathing when everything else hushes, a quiet meter that keeps its pace without vying for attention. That steady rhythm feels like a calm drum somewhere nearby, guiding the minutes forward. It's easy to miss these notes during bustling hours, yet when they surface, they make the space feel settled, attended to, and familiar in the best way.

I recall the coolness of grass beneath bare feet from a warmer season. The blades bend and spring back, damp with a whisper of morning, offering their own greeting. It's a simple exchange, the kind that asks for nothing and returns everything in kind. You look up and the clouds are telling their own brief tales: one shaped like a sleepy animal drifting along, another like a modest, cozy vessel sliding over an unseen sea. Before long they transform into something else, and then something else again, reminding you that change is always nearby and rarely abrupt upon close observation.

A warm cup held with both hands does its own quiet labor. The heat transfers into your fingers and settles there, bringing a calm that doesn't hurry. If you tip the cup toward the light, tiny flecks drift and sparkle as if the water is keeping time with you. It isn't extravagant and doesn't need to be; the warmth suffices. On slow afternoons it feels like a companion at the table, a small pause that opens the door to another clear breath and a gentler thought before you return to the rest of the day.

I reflect on how every individual you pass possesses a universe you can't perceive. There are memories folded into their days, and plans extending beyond the horizon of your own. Each one walks by with their layered narratives, some bright, some muted, all significant to someone. These separate universes drift close and then separate again, brushing shoulders, exchanging nods, and moving on. Remembering that can make a bustling place feel expansive, as if the city itself is breathing with a patient, shared cadence that holds room for everyone.

Often the most rewarding parts of a day manifest in the spaces between key moments. The last sigh after a lengthy list is concluded. The soft rustle of a page turning and settling. The way the afternoon light stretches into a narrow path across the floor, then lengthens and fades as evening descends. These are quiet markers that demand nothing more than your notice. When you meet them with attention, they return the favor by making the ordinary feel bountiful, reminding you that being present is a fulfilling experience on its own.

CompIimentary Road Kit for AAA Licensed Drivers

had the local Glazier replace a broken pane in one of those similar windows over 35 years ago. He could not find the plastic to use to hold the window pane in, so he used plain old Glaziers Putty. It has been leak free, and held just fine all these years. Use Glaziers Putty, form a thin roll in your hands, and place it all around the outside frame, then press your pane into that, forming a thin seal and then place more putty around the inside, tooling it into a beveled gasket all around the inside of the pane and the frame. This should seal and secure the pane in it's bed and stay for a long time.

From: Priya Nair Date: October 16, 2025, 07:10 AM Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Lately, I've been mapping local walking routes and thought it would be fun to share our favorite short trails and snack ideas. I recently finished a gentle loop near the lake, and it turned out lovely! Does anyone have any go-to routes or packing tips they'd like to share Looking forward to hearing your notes! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Best, Priya From: Ethan Cole Date: October 16, 2025, 08:32 AM Hi Priya and crew, That sounds great, Priya! One of my preferred routes is the ridge path behind the library. I use light intervals with steady pacing to keep it engaging. It's quick, refreshing, and easy to repeat. A helpful tip I can share: mark your waypoints before heading out. It makes the outing smoother, especially when you're trying a new loop. Happy exploring! Cheers, Ethan <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

From: Maya Lin Date: October 16, 2025, 10:18 AM Good morning all, Priya, your lake loop sounds inviting! I enjoy city walks that include small parks. Recently, I completed a route that threads murals and cafés. It's colorful and relaxing without being too long. Ethan, planning waypoints in advance really helps. I also like to sketch a tiny map, with times and rest spots noted. It keeps me on track and prevents detours. Can't wait to read more! Warm regards, Maya <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
From: Oliver Brooks Date: October 16, 2025, 12:47 PM Hello everyone, Great to hear these ideas! I've been tracking stair climbs lately. My latest path uses the river steps and a hill section for variety. It's practical for a quick midday reset. One tip for pacing: keep your strides even and your shoulders relaxed. It helps with rhythm and keeps the walk comfortable. Looking forward to more notes! Regards, Oliver

From: Luis Ortega Sent: October 15, 2025 4:22 PM To: Maya Chen; Priya Raman Subject: Re: Saturday Seed Swap table layout I can bring the tall jars and a roll of masking tape for signs. I drew a quick sketch showing three short rows so people can browse without crowding. If we chalk simple arrows on the pavement, folks will naturally loop back to the start. I'll arrive at 8:30 to help place the tables. Maya, could you take the west shade spot so the seedlings don't sit in direct sun Priya, your idea for a quiet corner for Q&A is great; we can put it near the planters by the fountain. -----Original Message----- From: Maya Chen Sent: October 15, 2025 2:11 PM To: Luis Ortega; Priya Raman Subject: Saturday Seed Swap table layout I measured the plaza at lunch. Five folding tables fit along the brick edge with enough room for a walkway. If we group greens together and keep flowers on the second row, labels will be easier to read. I printed card stock tags with space for plant name, light needs, and a short note. I'll bring twine, clips, and two black markers. Also, I found a small bell we can ring every half hour to remind people to rotate and check the last table. If rain shows up, the awning by the cafe is plan B. -----Original Message----- From: Priya Raman Sent: October 15, 2025 9:03 AM To: Maya Chen; Luis Ortega Subject: Seed Swap kickoff Morning! I reserved the courtyard from 9–12 this Saturday. Let's keep the flow simple: welcome table, drop zone, browse rows, and a small station for care tips. I can prep a one-page guide about watering and soil, plus a short note on sharing extras. If either of you has spare crates or a chalkboard, that would help. I'll bring a thermos of hot tea and a pack of paper cups so volunteers stay comfy. Thanks for jumping in on this; it's going to be a calm and friendly morning.

The inventory will update soon. Stay tuned, Your suggestion indicates support for a beam. It's valid. Assess concerns about top posts, and evaluate the foundation of the "notch." The support might need evaluation, particularly with potential deterioration at the underside. Testing with tools could show how stable the base remains, suggesting needed repairs.

wanted to post an update: I used citristrip paint stripper to try to remove the paint. It did remove a lot but Unfortunately there is a lot of residue left on the wall. I am considering parging the wall if i can get all the residue off the wall somehow. (Perhaps wire brush or another application of paint stripper) If I do not, I am worried the wall will not breathe under the parging and there will be issues

From: Benjamin Lee Date: October 8, 2024, 07:05 AM Hello team, I hope you're all doing well. Recently, I've been exploring new smoothie recipes and thought it would be intriguing to share some of our favorite drink ideas. I recently created a delicious mango smoothie, and it was refreshing! Does anyone have any signature drinks or tasty tips they'd like to share Excited to hear your refreshing discoveries! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Best, Benjamin From: Olivia Turner Date: October 8, 2024, 08:35 AM Hi Benjamin and everyone, That sounds delightful, Benjamin! One of my favorite drinks is creating a lavender lemonade. I use a hint of honey and fresh flowers for a calming effect. It's quick, soothing, and always a crowd pleaser. A drink tip I can share: always use fresh lemons. It brings out the tanginess, especially when you're preparing a lemonade. Happy blending! Cheers, Olivia \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ From: John Davis Date: October 8, 2024, 10:20 AM Good morning all, Benjamin, your mango smoothie sounds refreshing! I enjoy working with fruits too. Recently, I crafted a dessert that features strawberries and cream. It's creamy and refreshing, perfect for warm days. Olivia, using fresh lemons in advance is brilliant. I also prefer to try a spice infusion approach, where cinnamon and nutmeg are blended. It aids flavor and eases preparation. Can't wait to hear more! Best wishes, John \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ From: Mia Martinez Date: October 8, 2024, 12:50 PM Hello everyone, Wonderful to hear about all these delicious drinks! I've been experimenting with teas lately. My latest creation is a matcha latte that's both smooth and calming. It's ideal for a cozy afternoon or as a refreshing pick-me-up. One tip for teas: always use high-quality matcha. It ensures the best taste and experience in your cup. Looking forward to exchanging more thoughts! Regards, Mia

AAA Licensed Drivers, Here's Your Courtesy Road Kit

Field notes for the early commute: pale light across rooftops, steady wind from the northwest, and a faint scent of rain. At the station, the 6:42 departed two minutes ahead of schedule, while a sparrow inspected the empty bench like a tiny conductor. The avenue map still shows last month's detour; chalk arrows on the sidewalk point toward a quicker crossing near the library. Today's checklist includes revising the mural outline, labeling storage bins, and sketching a layout for the weekend workshop. Reminder: water the office fern, rotate the chair cushion, and bring the sketchbook with grid paper. If time allows, test the compact tripod and adjust the angle for evening skyline studies. Later, compare the notes on cloud shapes with yesterday's sketch to track how the breeze reshapes the same horizon.

All of the skim coats / base coats will require a finish coating check the data sheets. MY opinion: leaving paint on the existing is only going to create more maintenance in the furfure not a good idea. DIRTFT (do it right the first time). As an applicator of Stucco, EIFS Plaster I made a better profit repairing applied materials that were done wrong than I could on new work. Another problem is the age of the existing paint its adhesion to the CMU.

From: Maya Patel Date: October 15, 2025, 07:05 AM Hello team, I hope your morning is smooth. Lately I've been mapping neighborhood trails and testing a simple compass app to verify distances. Yesterday's loop by the creek was calm and shaded. Does anyone have a favorite short route for a weekday walk Looking forward to your ideas! ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Best, Maya From: Owen Brooks Date: October 15, 2025, 08:37 AM Hi Maya and all, That sounds refreshing, Maya. I like the ridge path near Willow Steps; the switchbacks are steady and the overlook is wide. If the trail is damp, I bring light poles for balance and keep a small notebook to mark turns. A quick tip: note landmarks like painted posts or a distinct oak to make the return easier. Cheers, Owen ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= From: Lin Chen Date: October 15, 2025, 10:22 AM Good morning everyone, Maya, the creek loop is great. I've also tried a sunrise route by the old water tower. The path is quiet, and the skyline looks clear from that slope. I time my steps with a gentle pace to keep it enjoyable. Owen, the landmark notes help a lot. I add a tiny sketch when a turn feels similar to another. Warm regards, Lin ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= From: Rafael Ortega Date: October 15, 2025, 12:51 PM Hello all, Great thread. I've been testing a loop that circles the community garden and passes a mural. The route is flat, with a quiet stretch by the pond. It works well for a quick break between meetings. One note: if a segment is busy, I shift to the side path beside the hedges to keep the rhythm. Regards, Rafael

Special Road Kit for AAA Licensed Drivers

Quiet skyline notes drifting over a calm harbor at dawn, where ferries trace patient lines across the bay and gulls tilt on soft currents above the water. The museum on the hill opens early for a rotating exhibit about cartographers who mapped currents and stars with meticulous sketches, pairing tide tables with charcoal drawings of lighthouses. A conductor's baton once rested in a glass case nearby, rumored to have kept time on a ship's deck as violins hummed during a long crossing. A journal found in the archives mentions a foghorn dialogue with distant buoys, and the way copper turns sea-green along railings after years of salt. People gather on benches to read field notes about the moon's pull, tracing ellipses across margins, sipping strong tea from enamel cups. On the far pier, a painter lifts a sable brush to capture the way morning light softens hulls and masts, while a child counts the steps between two bollards and decides the number changes with the tide Later, the docent leads a small group past navigational compasses laid out like a constellation on blue felt, each needle steady, each face collected, the room carrying a resilient hush.

From: Priya Nair Date: October 15, 2025, 09:12 AM Hi everyone, Hope your morning is going smoothly. I've been starting a small balcony garden and would enjoy trading ideas about compact planters and soil mixes. My first project was a narrow herb rail, and it's already thriving with basil and thyme.

I would remove all paint. Then apply a Fixativ ( research Keim ) if you can find Potassium Silicate in your area it will consolidate the failing CMU. In place of Paint look into the use of a Mineral coating this type coating contains Potassium Silicate which will become part of the existing CMU will repel water but remain breathable. Also, after you consolidate the existing you could use a cement / mortar coating with a color added. If all paint is removed metal lath would not be required.

Sometimes I just like to glance at the sky. Not in a grand way, just peeking up and seeing what's present. Today it's a soft gray, like an old blanket pulled above the sun. It's not a sad gray, more of a calm gray. A reflecting gray. It makes the green leaves on the tree outside appear brighter, like they're boasting against the simple backdrop. They sway a little when the air moves. It's a pleasant thing to observe for a minute. How the home has its own melody, if you pause to notice it. There was a gentle hum from somewhere, perhaps a machine in another room fulfilling its task. A click every so often. The sound of my very breath, which is an odd thing to perceive. You don't usually detect that, do you But when it's silent, you do. It's a steady beat, like a gentle drum keeping rhythm. I recall the sensation of cool grass under my feet. It's a memory from a long time ago, from another season. The blades are soft and slightly damp, and they give under your weight. It feels like the ground is greeting in its own silent language. It's a nice feeling, a straightforward feeling. It makes you want to sit down right there and observe the clouds, to find forms in them. One seemed like a tired dog, another like a bumpy boat. They shift so swiftly, you must look quickly before they turn into something else altogether. There's something about a cup of warm fluid in your hands. It's not fancy, just warm. The heat seeps into your fingers and soothes them. You can see the little bits of nothing dance in the liquid if you hold it against the light. It's merely water, but it feels like a small companion on a slow day. It's there, and it's warm, and that's ample. Sometimes I reflect on how many tales are in the world. Every person you encounter has a whole universe inside their mind, full of thoughts and emotions and memories you'll never comprehend. They are all moving around with these hidden universes, brushing past one another, smiling or not smiling. It's a grand thought, a vast thought. It makes the world feel very immense and very tiny at the same time. Mostly, I just savor the silent moments. The interval between the loud noises. The sigh after a lengthy day. The sound of a page flipping in a book. The way light lands on the floor in a lengthy yellow stripe in the afternoon. These are the events that don't demand anything. They simply are. And that's pleasant. That's more than enough, really. It's good to simply exist, sometimes.

Sand dunes sweep against glass towers. Steam whistles in twilight, and clever foxes dash between pine roots. Esme hurries by a shop, scarf trailing, clutching a leather-bound book, while Oscar hammers buttons on an old radio. The town clock chimes noon, birds scatter, and river reeds quiver in a hush. Jazz notes float over cobblestones. Shara's voice, muffled, carries from the alley as she threads silver through bracelets. By dusk, all secrets have drifted to the willow's shadow.

I made treat foraging balls from crinkled paper mixed with millet—my budgies adore the challenge. Always use pet-safe materials with birds for toys and swings. Looking forward to more stories! Thanks, Nolan
