did not even last two weeks.\u00a0 I ordered a sealed bearing from NAPA today and it will be in on Monday.\u00a0 As I write this, I just finished adding a little aluminium vane to help keep it pointing into the wind.\u00a0 The new bearing will probably have more friction to overcome so the extra vane may help point it better.\u00a0 We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>We went to Menard&#8217;s today.\u00a0 As usual there were two agenda&#8217;s and mine was to find the Christmas present that I wanted for myself.\u00a0 I found one and it is only $7 so perhaps I will get it.\u00a0 Of course SAM has a different agenda and that is to replace the bathroom counter in the downstairs apartment.\u00a0 I must admit it is getting a bit long in the tooth and is a yucky blue 1970&#8217;s countertop.\u00a0 The cabinet is ok but the top definitely dates the room.\u00a0 This will probably be a $500 changeout which is not too bad but I dread changing the\u00a0 shutoff valves.\u00a0 Installing the two new shutoff&#8217;s will be a repeat of the apartment sink fiasco.\u00a0 At least I have the RTV Blue on hand this time.<\/p>\n<p>SAM found a integrated countertop \/ sink arrangement at Menard&#8217;s which is sort of\u00a0off white\u00a0with a tinge of grey.\u00a0 If it matches the color already down there that will be great.\u00a0 If not then I guess a room redecorating is in order.\u00a0 The biggest problem I see is the bathroom mirror.\u00a0 The silver on the present mirror is coming off near the edges so we need a 48&#8243;x40&#8243; mirror and I do not know if these are a standard size.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/6c2e7995-0b23-4cbd-8ec0-33809121a61c\/\"><img class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?x-id=6c2e7995-0b23-4cbd-8ec0-33809121a61c\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution paragraph-reblog\"><script src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image via Wikipedia Today was just beautiful and warm too.\u00a0 I did a lot of little things, one of which, was trying to locate a sealed bearing for the wind sock.\u00a0 I have a wind sock down by the beach that I use to determine wind direction and for just the plain enjoyment in seeing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":816,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions\/816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
