I hate to ask, I don't want to court disaster, but from the 15th to the 28th, what will be status of that window? Glass but not waterproofed? Not a hole into the basement for two weeks?
Good lunch with my daughter (who is in the middle of a virtual conference, so a face-to-face visit is nice after a morning on Zoom). I visited the friend downtown who is on housing assistance and who couldn't afford a $75 charge for a tech to change the batteries in her wheelchair. It isn't rocket science, and after about 20 minutes of shooshing off friendly cats in my face (one that wanted to eat my hair) the job was finished. I took her old batteries to a place that will recycle them. They weighed 45 pounds in the box - no wonder I kind of staggered across the parking lot.
I think I'll be able to send some of the excess canning jars to one of my daughter's friends (I described them at lunch, then sent follow-up photos of the cases this evening). I'll still have plenty for my uses.
Tomorrow is supposed to be very hot, then cool down the rest of the week. I watered this evening (and swatted a couple of mosquitoes) to prepare the plants to withstand ~ 104o.
