Well! We received the shipment of oven-bricks I had ordered last week. At just past 7 in the morning, I saw a fellow standing by my gate. I asked if I could help him, and he asked if I was <strike>name redacted</strike>. I then noticed he was driving a large truck from the “Israel Post”. It struck me as odd that the company I purchased the stones from and had paid 200₪ for delivery, then went and paid the ''post office'' 800₪ to make the delivery. Incredibly, the shipment actually arrived!<br />
<br />
Because the driver couldn’t deliver it ''onto'' my property, he left the pallet containing 150kg (330lbs) of bricks and mortar ''on the street'' and left. Then I had to move them from there to my back yard, which wasn’t nearly as much fun as you might think. However, after some more hard work, we now have a [https://ronware.org/img/grill3.jpeg a fully functional] grill!<br />
<br />
This week we also managed to fix the back-yard power outlet, the “hand-washing station”, and also install a new back-yard floodlight… it was a busy week. By the way, the “cheap” [https://www.enerled.co.il LED outdoor floodlights] we got seem to be quite high quality, and the back patio is nicely lit now.<br />
<br />
Various stuff:<br />
* Is Joe Biden [https://www.newsweek.com/ceiling-fan-energy-efficient-proposal-joe-biden-climate-change-1822594 coming for your ceiling fan]? Jokes on him: we don’t have any!<br />
* He does seem to be a fan of [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/national-archives-finds-more-than-5-000-biden-emails email aliases]. I’m surprised '''big.guy.10%@gmail.com''' isn’t one of them.<br />
* Paper straws [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1KT39pDiY0 are worse for you] than the plastic kind, apparently. Even if they aren’t, they’re awful.<br />
* The costs of Europe’s [https://www.piratewires.com/p/the-costs-of-europes-gdpr-regime GDPR] regime. EU bureaucrats are ruining the EU.<br />
* Prof. Hossenfelder says, “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD6hS8WV3ic Do your own research], but do it right!”<br />
<br />
Our roof also got some love: I managed to spread most of a container of sealant on its worst parts. There’s still another container waiting to be hoisted up there and used, but that’s for next week, B”H.<br />
<br />
We’ve got sleepover guests this ''shabbat'', for the first time in quite a while. Our friends’ son (who’s learning in yeshiva this year, and for whom I was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandek ''sandak'']) and his friend will stay with us. We’ve also got some friends coming for lunch. So it’s going to be an unusually full ''shabbat''.<br />
<br />
The weather is supposed to be fairly nice; a bit cooler than it was during the week.<br />
<br />
This ''shabbat'' we’ll try to feed the ravening hordes with:<br />
<br><br />
homemade ''ḥalla'',<br />
chicken “three ways”: barbecued, herbaceous, and crispy,<br />
as well as <br />
[https://www.myjewishlearning.com/recipe/borekas/ ''burekas''],<br />
baked yams,<br />
green beans,<br />
traditional [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholent ''cholent''],<br />
meatballs,<br />
rice,<br />
various ''salatim'',<br />
and some sort of dessert(s).<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom''!<br />
