I think you may be a brand-new subscriber! Holy watermelon, let's celebrate! Did you know you can eat watermelon in the shower and not worry about dripping the delicious nectar juice on yourself? A friend told me this was possible. Yes, you need to have the water on to make this work, not just stand in the shower sneaking extra melon with your clothes on, silly!
You could be a subscriber that's eaten celery and peanut butter with me over the past few years while we sat on overturned drywall mud buckets. Yummy! Do you remember that story I told at lunch about Dr. Caster, my historical geology professor?
Building Scars
Please look at this photo. What do you think of the different-colored brick?
HAH! That was a trick question! I shot this photo in Cincinnati, Ohio in Pleasant Ridge about four years ago while I was on a walk. The house was about 457 feet north of Montgomery Road on the east side of the street.
That's a beautiful multi-colored wire-cut brick isn't it? But what's going on with the mortar? CLICK or TAP HERE to understand what's in play and how you can avoid TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of repairs.
George Washington and Abe Lincoln!
Here's another photo to gaze at:
This is a metal pot. The black stain is from milk. How's that possible?
Easy - turn on the burner to heat it up, walk away and get distracted. You can also melt plastic birds on tea pots the same way.

What does this have to do with George and Abe? Both former presidents drank lots of milk, and Abe had a glass of chocolate milk each night with two pecan cookies. Don't believe the unfounded and ugly rumors about him and Disaronno. Not for a second.
What's more, how do you think George got his muslin frock clean after splattering it with cherry juice when he cut down his Dad's favorite tree?
He used Stain Solver of course! He also used Stain Solver to get the mud stains off his pants after crossing the Delaware River. The infantry of the Continental Army using Stain Solver to clean their uniforms in hot water pots hanging over campfires is a story oft told at West Point.
Abe wore white shirts when he did his legal work for the Rock Island Railroad. He routinely got black ink on his sleeves because he hated wearing sleeve socks. Abe's wife Mary loved to use Stain Solver to keep her man's work shirts looking like new!
Thomas Jefferson told his admirals to use Stain Solver to get algae off Old Ironsides before they finally switched to copper plates. He wanted the ship to look its best before he dispatched it to kick the Barbary Pirates' butts. But I digress.
Wait, wait ... I worry you think I'm being mendacious. Tsk tsk.
