Chimes

Gary called this afternoon.
The strings on Jeni's large Gregorian chime broke after all the storms.

I have been searching for a while for replacement parts. Looked at the chimes website. No information on parts. Messaged with their customer service, probably AI, and asked how I could get replacement parts, they/it replied with "Check our website for parts availability." No link, nothing except for search.

It does break my heart because I think this is the 3rd or 4th one in need of repair.
I hate to keep losing things that are Jeni's. I know Jeni is not in her stuff, but it is still painful as it was something Jeni loved. All of this even know that I will \probably end up in an apartment or condo where I will not be able to keep them anyway.

Gazebo Canopy

Two nights of storms and high winds were too much for the gazebo canopy. It was two years old anyway and was ready to be replaced. Jeni and I ordered the replacement cover a year ago and it is stored in the shed.

3D Printer

Chase has a 3D Printer in the basement.
He printed me a hard cover face protector for my Yaesu FT-891 radio and a desktop display of my call sign.
