Drat. My new flight instructor was supposed to call sometime this evening to set up training times. It's 10 pm here, so I guess we've moved out of "this evening". I passed the FAA knowledge test nearly a month ago. It's time I got into a plane.

A very Buffista floor.

Back when I was a freshman in high school, I briefly got rockstar status when a friend of a friend gave me rides one week. She had an old ford truck, one of those bubbly kind, black with flames. It was seriously awesome. A couple years later, my cousin lived with us and traded in his Bronco for a ford of a similar vintage (he was going to literally work his way down to South America, and needed a truck he could either find parts for or manufacture parts himself.) I helped him get the old ford into shape and fell a little in love with it, even though it was baby yellow.

I assume he's long since sold it. He took 3 years to get to Brazil, where he ended up an apprenticed with a wooden sailboat builder, moved to WA, did another apprenticeship, and is now in the business in Maine of custom boats (took a hit in the economy) and general custom cabinetry and wood work. I really need to hire him...

Cash,

I am all at once amazed and appalled by that floor.

I am Sue. The flooring in my entryway at the new house is red tile I am not in love with. I need to think of what to do in there. Maybe just prego like the kitchen/back living room.

From way back:

What is Protected Health Information (PHI)?

Under HIPAA, PHI is confidential, personal, identifiable health information about individuals that is created or received by a health plan, provider, or health care clearinghouse and is transmitted or maintained in any form. "Identifiable" means that a person reading this information could reasonably use it to identify an individual.

I would go crosseyed looking at that floor trying to make words.

I still have to pull up the pink carpet in the hallway and refinish the floor. I am a little worried that the hardwood will be in rough shape by the front door. (I can't see it because old carpet backing is glued to it.) I am just crazy and cheap enough to think about refinishing the main floor myself. But there's a lot of hardwood down here.

but but but pink carpet!!

I cannot wait to design and do my pink laundry room/garage!

I think the floor's kind of cool, but I can't imagine it's not bumpy, which would drive me nuts.

Oh, I have hardwood with bad water damage (that I can't figure out how it happened) that someday I will need to replace. But even as I see other neighbors' floors, even with the shit staining job that was done on mine...OMG, I so prefer mine. Most of them have gone blond. Mine is a dark honey, and warm. Even with the damage and crappy stain and finish job, mine are prettier.
