Quick Update

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted. Well, there just hasn’t been anything of real interest going on.

I went to the beach the July 4th weekend. Hung out with Nuke and his folks. A couple of hamburger cookouts, watched fireworks at the Marina and that's about it. Low key, relaxing weekend.

On the home front, the contractors came today and repaired my fireplace / chimney. I had a small chimney fire back in March. Damaged the flue.

They replaced the flue, repaired some cracks in the firebox. Fixed the ventilation fan switch (it hasn’t worked for at least 5 years or more – lol). And did some other maintenance and upkeep items.

These guys were professional. They had everything laid out and ready to go. No wondering around and head scratching – they knew exactly what they were going to do and how to do it.

Job was done in less than 5 hours.

About $2,100 altogether.

Work is pretty much the same. Nothing new or unusual to report.

Let’s see – I’ve booked a cruise for November. Actually I booked it a couple months ago. DB and O are going along with DB’s mom. JTN is going too.

That’s about it.
