My wife is taking next week off work as a much-needed vacation, pretending she’s in Mexico or somewhere nice (it will be around 90° for most of the week). I have an infinite amount of work to do, but am thinking about joining her in taking a break. I think I need it too.

We had big plans for vacations this year, including a 3-week trip to NZ, a couple trips to Ashland, etc. But now we don’t expect to go anywhere this year. Or for the foreseeable, really.

The answer to today’s What’s It Wednesday question, as correctly guessed by nobody, is a solar panel for our swimming pool, and specifically a repair I did to a burst in one of the tubes. Better luck next time! #WhatsItWednesday
