2. Got new checks.
Hurray, I can spend money the old-fashioned way again!
3. Attached trailer ball on riding mower.
Cavebear's First Law Of Applied Geometry: If you can bend it enough, it will fit. Cavebear's First Law Of Physics: The bigger the bench vise, the more you can bend stuff.
4. Bought new car.
New checks burned a hole in my pocket. Actually, it was a race to see if the checks would arrive before the dealer incentives ran out. I deliver the check today after the towing hitch is installed and they drive the car here. More about the new car tomorrow. But it looks like this. I like green.
5. Figured out new edging better than that plastic crap.
Randomly-cut pressure treated wood 6-12" high, connected with stiff zinc-coated wire attached throgh screw-eyes at the top and bottom. I'll show pictures when I do it. I was going to do stackable concrete blocks but the neighbor beat me to it and I don't copy.
6. Got non-subscription 2019 MS Office for Mac.
MS demanded an annual subscription on $69.95 per year, but I found a site that sells it for $99 no renewal cost or expiration. I'll be good for 10 years with that.
7. Made a pizza from scratch.
Bread machine has a "dough" setting. But their recipe sucks. I used a 20 year old one taped to the inside of a cabinet. But I screwed it up royally this time and had to add water during the process. Amazingly, it came out perfect. I won't ever be able to duplicate it. On the other hand, I know what dough should feel like. I make a loaf of bread* every couple of weeks. Pizza dough can be a bit thinner for easy rolling.
I have a pizza stone, that helps. And a paddle. I usually simmer crushed canned tomato until it is thick. Spread some thinly on the dough, add sliced pepperoni (or hot italian sausage), green peppers, mushrooms, and onion. More sauce, then add provelone slices and bagged "italian" shredded cheese. Not too much cheese. Baked on the pre-heated pizza stone at 500F about 10 minutes...
I can't understand why my pizza (with a tossed salad) isn't considered the healthiest food on earth.
* Use beer instead of water, and add a heaping tablespoon of oregano, crushed garlic, and onion flakes and friends will BEG you to bring bread to the party...
