From Nov. 12, 2020 to today (Jun. 16, 2021) there has been this hole cut in my wall in the kitchen. I don't think it's too much to think, if you are going to make a hole, you come back and fix it, yet here it is 8 months and 4 days later. What can I say, this is the joys of subsidized housing, not having things fixed in a timely manner. Speaking of the tank on my toilet is being held together with silicon calking - sigh. Yeah, it seems to be doing the job but dang, that is a bit Red Green I think (and 2 people get the reference). Over a year ago I told them the thing that makes the shower come one does not work 100%. This is no big deal for me however, as I can still shower just fine, only it is pumping out twice as much out of the tap than the shower, and wasting a lot of water. A fried has a relative in the building and the celling in that persons bathroom was damaged by a leak, and it was left open for a very long time as well. It is demoralizing to have to look at something

Not big into Rum but when it's hot I tend to like it more. This was just good. It's Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum. Tasted like plumbs and apples and cinnamon, allspice, and black pepper to me. Also had a bit of mint taste to it - peppermint that is. If you do the eggnog thing, this would be good in it. It's 47.2% ABV, so it's got some kick. A couple glasses and I'm starting to feel it. 4 and I'm ready for a nap. To be honest I think I like Sailor Jerry  (46% ABV) better but some I know will like this way better than S.J. I thought it would go good with Coke, so I got some when I picked up my meds at the drug store, and I was right, it rocked with Coke. Might be even better with Pepsi. We made cookies with Sailor Jerry one time and I doubt this stuff would work for that, but a nice rum-coffee cake would do well. Anyway, I have about 1/4 of it left and will probably finish it on Friday. BTW this is way lighter in taste than Sailor Jerry.  

The phone did not take very good shots it seems, but oh well. A new Moka pot was in my box of goodies a friend from Australia sent me. These biscuits tasted great with coffee. MMM Coffee. And more coffee. Drinking this one right now, it's really good. We have the same company here but for some reason it always tastes better when it's from the UK or in this case Australia.  

 

 

As ALWAYS the latest Windows 10 update said "here is more crap you did not ask for and don't want". The latest was a weather icon on the task bar. This is actually the "News and Interests" app. To make it shut up and stop giving you information you don't really want when you power up your PC, right click the task bar, mouse over News and interests then click Turn off. I seriously with these thing would not be turned on by default. In fact I'd like to be able to literally remove them, but that's not going to happen, it's not in any of the program lists or the Windows features list, so can't make it go completely away.  

It's pride month in most of the civilized world, so I'm listening to Manowar. Accept is next. I love music and am not in a mood for something light or new right now. So the oldies it is. In any event, happy pride and enjoy some music you love.
