from arizona at the airport

6.17: co.net.answers.dmv.org/az`id card renewal
Just remember that the new Az ID's (not driver's licenses) do not expire
. There is no expiration date whatsoever on the ID,
which has caused me more trouble than it is worth at airport "security".
We are supposed to pop into the MVD every 12 years and get a new photo taken.

engraver

6.24: bk.gear/engraver:
. this engraver has the expected operation,
but during repairs,
it is using double insulation instead of grounding,
and you must know the system to maintain it safely .

replacing drywall with dry things

6.2: gear/drywall/sand & metal:
. cheap fireproof and wetproof drywall could be done by
metal sheet panels bent and crimped in the shape of drywall,
then filled with baked sand;
or when used as panels on the ceiling,
filled with something lighter like perlite .
. not as easily cut into odd shapes like drywall is ..
6.4:
. pieces would have to be prefab'd per architecture req's .



xeriscaping

4.18: tech.gear/garden/drip pipes:
. an efficient way to water plants with a drip
is finding a pipe that the hose (or nozzle)
could fit into,
then placing a pipe into the ground
next to each plant .

6.15: proj.apt`yard/stump pull/finale!:
. the last 2 stumps were pulled up,
and arranged with the recently-pulled others (by the fence for the alley) .
. it was tricky teasing the last stump away from nearby hackberry bush,
but that had been transplanted there only recently,
so I wasn't expecting too much root expansion .
-- there were a foot roots exposed though;
and, this is its second disturbance since being taken from the nursery:
it had been planted in what I later found was officially
future sidewalk space, so I had to move it yet again .
. I gave it a heavy watering overnight;
so, there would be plenty of fine filling around the exposed roots .

8.26: proj.apt`yard/water holes:
. to help get more of the hose dripping into the desired target plants,
the caliche bar was used to create a hole near the base of each plant,
and then the hose`nozzle is inserted into each hole .

8.25: mis.gear/pruner/snapped bolt,
. when things like this start binding up,
stop to clean and add some oil .

8.26: proj.gear/pruner/fix snapped bolt:
. the bolt was replaced with a smaller one,
lubed with dry waxy spray .
. it should be good for smaller branches .
-- a hand on each handle,
rather than both hands on one handle,
and an arm pit on the other handle .

10.4: apt`yard/trees not doing well:
. we can see from how well the hacks are doing,
that being in the irrigation streaming from the street run-off
is not the problem .
. now it occurs to me that I had neglected the trees for a while,
and became alarmed when the southern trees had become so dry
that all their leaves fell off .
. while the north trees faired well from run-off from co#north,
there was less from the south [it's also uphill from the south]
. I'm theorizing now that being that dry made it sickly
and prone to rot when watered later .

10.16: todo.apt/tree unhealthy needs to promote fungus:
Trees and landscapes should be designed and installed to be sustainable -- to provide long-lasting beauty and utility through healthy growth that does not require unnecessary maintenance. However, as every arborist who has made an emergency call knows, this is often not the case. Replacement of poorly grown or improperly planted trees is commonplace. Most urban soils that support landscape trees remain in poor condition -- highly compacted and low in organic matter. The result is high plant mortality, higher rework ..
10.18: proj.apt`yard/tree#north.iron/weeded:
. wondering if the tree is yellowing due to
competition from the burmuda grass,
raked away all the mulch cover and tilled with a caliche bar
so then most of the nearby grass was easy to uproot .

mis.addn/net.classmates.com/no identifying overseas schools:
. adding other classes,
there is only one school listable for peshawar
PAKISTAN > PESHAWAR / SCHOOL / Beacon House Public School
Beacon House Public School 68-69
. and, unlike state-side locations,
there is no identifying overseas schools:

. after seeing this, it let me write a note to her,

fort'ly I save my own stuff,

6.28: proj.addn/net.classmates.com/update mistaken LTI dates:
. notice lti ref is to baltimore? explore how to change:
what others exist already? closest is dc,
but it lists the address as being in dc (not capitol heights, md),
and there are few members anyway, and the current LTI is not in dc or baltimore,
the closest being columbia md, about 5m south of ellicot city
(about 10m 8o'clock from baltimore);
so, create my own college that locates my school properly,
and include in the name its refering to itself as a dc branch;
also include my class's program;
finally adjust dates of surrounding odd-job entries
to match the updated date of for LTI attendance:
# Americium Dream Duh 81-84
# Lincoln Technical Institute (Wash D.C) HVAC 80-81
Class of 1981
# Americium Dream Duh 79-80
