These wounds won't seem to heal!

They cut through the breach again. No holes from the seals. Michelle thinks they might be coming through the hole cuts in the pipes. That might be it. Taped it down.

EDIT: Two more flies today. Now I'm filling pipe gaps because that's the only option but it also made me realize there's a gap directly above the pipes and the sink stand. That just received a fill of sticky stuff. This might be it folks, this might be the end. I might be coping to hell.

I figure once the stuff solidifies, I can check for gaps and seam it with caulk for a cleaner finish. There's some small gaps I can also work on while there too that are too small for flies but probably large enough for silverfish.

( So this weekend. )

Updated my portfolio after I realized so much of it was ancient work. There's some decent stuff in there.

Also surprisingly decent? The number of Statue of Liberty photos I am catching up to and finding. Found some stuff from a really rough trip that shook us from bad wakes but it was so close to the statue that it filled my frame with the min range of my telephoto.

Glad I'm finally catching up on some of my work. I also processed all the photos from that trip I hated in Lancaster, just waiting for Michelle to send those to her friends. I think she's going to hesitate on working on them though.

Anyway, that's it from me.


In the meantime keep calm and The Rat

YUP! The breach still isn't contained!

Two more flies in a week. I took the option to consider covering the parts of the sink stand that I can more actively cover and it is now covered in vinyl siding. Taped the breaches too which look ugly but to be honest there's a lot around here at this point that is not super pretty--I really wish I could have been able to simply caulk it all. Will it work? Will I find more flies? Will I go insane when a new fly finds its way out suggesting yet another breach? Find out in the next exciting episode!

So! ( Last weekend! )

Spent most of the week doing the "recover from the vacation" while doing work. Some progress was made but I also begin the troubleshooting of "why the hell can't I figure out a permanent way for me to sleep well"

Here's the results of two nights of trial and error and many rewatches on postprod: the first photostitching I've ever done combined with many ways to attempt to clean all that light pollution.

It's a kind of image best seen in full details so here's a link to the image.
Big work in progress, but at least this helped me understand what I'm looking for. With a better opportunity to comp and figure out what I should be doing, I think this will be even better. I'll look forward to trying more often when the days grow shorter.

If I get a better result, I'm tossing this one immediately because honestly it's ugly as sin but it does emphasize a lot of what I'm trying to learn so hopefully I can only do better from here.

God help me was this a trial but at least I'm back on my normal shit. Still, not a total loss as I found out about the train museum and we got to see a steam locomotive in action; we have some shots of that. There was also a really nice bakery we hit on the way back that I felt too underdressed for but at least nobody gave a shit about what I looked like while I was there.

Anyway, that's that, off to do something real aside from bitching about this.
