It is mostly green again. Mostly. It was quite the surprise to wake up to snow falling at 3:00am. It continued to snow through the morning. It did not snow a foot in Grangeville like it did when I grew up. They do have 10 days or so to meet that retelling of my youth. (I have a sister in Grangeville, that is how I know about their weather. )
After I finished typing this morning it was time to not go back to sleep, I just could not get back to it again. (if you wake up at 3:00 or 4:00 and are Awake you know this state of being )
I checked YouTube and found a piece by Joe Van Cleave (it would be nice to have an eraser….) he had put up called “Royal Mercury Sound Insulation Kit” and hey wait, I have one of those. So I settled in and watched it. It is an easy piece of work and, yep, it helps. Joe said maybe the kit would be for sale. The source was Ted Munk. I dashed off a note asking if that were the case. As it turns out, it is not. It was a nice gift from a nice guy to a nice guy. Ted did tell me what he used to make it.
A used Yoga mat (in his case a $3X $1 thing from a thrift store) thick felt from the thrift store or a craft place, and grommets from Ace Hardware. For less than $5 (7) bucks it, a Royal Mercury, is as Joe Van Cleave wrote “rendering it even better than new!”
We will see how it works out for me.

PS –
Keep On Thruckin Mike: I fly get a starter sentence and let it go from there. This is a land of First Drafts for me here. There have been times when I laid out a list of things to cover. Those are ideas and I fill them out.
Catalina: you bet I remember. Want more? đŸ˜‰ (Though I do have more, they are available.) How is your ink supply? First one is free. Like so many say. Thank you for warming my heart.
You think I would read One Typed Page before I sign off.
Leo: My count is still in the single digits. I think. But there is a really nice Underwood …
