Here in Florida the product approval required for a window can be pretty tricky. Impact rated required in some areas. If you live a mile out if that area, what would you do? Money grab? Worth extra expense? Fear v reality. Who's to say what is right. (I live 7 miles from Atlantic Ocean).
How To Use Window Inserts to Preserve Old Windows
How a smart alternative to window replacement saves energy, reduces noise, and preserves the architectural integrity of two TOH TV Project Houses.www.thisoldhouse.com

Watching the movie battleship then will call it a night. Maggie resting after a hard day of sleeping. Going to go to range tomorrow and finish breaking in the Hellcat. I had to get perscription from my doctor in this state to get a covid shot. I know most people don't like them but I have never had covid and don't plan on getting it. Will get shot after range visit.. Hope everyone has a good night.

Another thing about Impact rated glass is the outside sound deadening and the insulation factor. Electrical is mostly powered by nuclear so that is costly in Florida.

Mostly natural gas in my area to generate electricity. The problem is what insurance companies require in different zones. A low e window has close to zero effect in the south, sound is what it is, impact resistance can help pressure levels from getting to catastrophic levels if breached by projectile.

Up early again today. Sleep has eluded me for a few days. I'm sure I have a lot on my mind with all the recent changes around here. Sometimes I don't adapt well to change easily. Looks like it will be a good day here before the rain comes tomorrow. Already to go to range this morning. Just might have to take Maggie for our weekly trip to Lowes today.

my pharmacist said just the other day, there is a new covid shot coming out soon, make sure its the latest one.
they are not here yet, but i did at least get the flu shot, and all else is updated...
here, we do not need a doctors script for a covid shot.
and like you and many others, at least at my age, anything can be long lasting and develop into something more severe to land me in the hospital, or even the morgue.

Thank you for your indulgence ,

Nothing good.
Dug up an old leaky steel service. Turns out the tee for the house across the street is in the same hole and also leaking. These are old bolt on tees. So instead of simply boring in one new service I need to bore two in and I need these bolt on tees pinned ( removed and the tap holes pinned and welded shut) and two new weld on tees welded on. Yesterday was a long day and today will be too.
No this is not me, it’s a laborer cleaning and lubing these old tees so they come off easier today.

Going into hour 14 at work.
My relief called in, and nobody wants to answer their phones, so…I’m stuck for at least another 5 hours, but I’ll probably do 7 and leave at 3; a 20 hour day is long enough…already told them I’m not pulling a full double (24 hours).
I’ll still get paid for my shift tonight, too, so…work 20, get paid for 40. Not bad.
Really don’t need the stress right now, but we just fired up to go for the harvest season…
And, I’m gonna be out for a few weeks dealing with some medical stuff (not mine), so this just is the cherry on top.
My….Fudgeometer…readeth empty.
I know I’m gonna regret this…but coffee ain’t cutting it.
