Her: Do you know anyone that does swimming?

Me: Well, there is Dave, he is keen.

Her: Will you ask him to have a look at the ceiling in the utility?

Me: What?

Her: You heard, the ceiling needs sorting out.

Me: Do you mean skimming?

I would wish her and her partner a long and happy marriage; the same as I would to any newly wed couple.

Neighbour bought a new Toyota a month ago, as part of the deal they included a ceramic coating.

I like a clean car, I wash them, polish them and give them a coat of wax from time to time, they gleam.

However, I have never obtained a shine like his Toyota, a perfect, perfect gloss, I haven't done the classic beading test, not being my car, but visually the paintwork is stunning.

When I had the Tahoe repainted, I applied a first coat of Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic. There is an initial application process and subsequent applications. I apply a new coat three times per year. I also use Maguiar's car wash with a microfiber mitt and dry with large microfiber towels. This is a wonderful product. Second application is simply spray on and rinse off. The first application requires manually spreading and working the product into the surface. Here is a video. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax : Spray & Rinse Protection! NEW !!!

I don't often purchase new razors, but was reading about the PAL company history and specifically the PAL Adjustable. Often, I read eBay razor listing with original packing. Prices vary, but you would have paid around $2 for a new razor with a sleeve of blades included. In today's US currency equivalent, the price would be roughly $22. I bought the PAL Adjustable yesterday for $14 plus shipping or $23.

Just to make the misery of high temps and humidity even more uncomfortable we are under an air quality advisory for smoke. Smoke can really be a problem for people with certain pre-existing medical conditions.

Our learned friend would probably prefer the smoke up there to the hot air down here.
