Dual Purpose Toilet Seat.

Our toilet seat broke. I found a new one a Home Depot, that was dual purpose. The seat acted like a normal seat, but it had a child's seat hidden in the top cover. For the past couple of days this toilet seat has been the topic of conversation of our grandparent friends. We have had to run tours of the bathroom to see the seat.

This is a picture of the normal mode of operation.

Here the seat is in the child's position.

Boating Problems

We had some excitement on the lake on Saturday. My neighbor launched his boat, and then tied it up on his dock. After an hour or so, he came out to see the boat sunk! When they launched the boat they forgot to put in the drain plug. Everyone forgets to install the plug once, but most of the time the missing plug is discovered at the launching ramp.
After some work the boat was removed from the lake, and taken away to be dried out. I went down to help, so I could get the pictures.

New Bird House

Rich gave us a new blue bird house. I set it up in the yard, and it looks like a junco is thinking about moving in.

Clearing Brush

Last December we had an ice storm, that knocked out power for 12 days. The storm also took down a lot of branches and trees. The picture below is one small section of the yard showing the number of branches that came down. This spring the town opened up its yard waste dump starting in March until the 15th of May. To take advantage of the extended opening, I have been hauling brush to the dump almost everyday, and multiple trips over the weekends.

On Wednesday this week, I finally quit. I still have brush in the lake, and small pine branches spread around the yard, but all of the big stuff is gone. How I can get started on real yard work.

Faventia playing music ?

Here is a video of the piano playing, The microphone on the camera is not very good, so it sounds better in person than on the video, but not much. The piano will play 6 different songs.
