Did some grocery shopping. Hit some golf balls. Walked the dog. Fed the family and the dog.

I've been cleaning some particularly stubborn glorp stains off items of my lab glassware, stuff thats refusing to fuck off. Just been preparing a chromic acid bath. Made with concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid, to make a saturated solution of dichromate, in this case sodium dichromate, in the concentrated sulfuric

Its a somewhat safer to handle alternative to piranha acid (peroxymonosulfuric acid, made with concentrate H2SO4 and hydrogen peroxide, its dangerous stuff, very, very dangerous, but it WILL remove even the worst stains if they are, or ever have been organic in nature. Piranha bath will rip apart inorganic graphitic carbon, oxidizing it to CO2.

Really nasty shit. Chromic acid is an alternative, not the tendency to cause things to explode violently. It has another set of pros and cons. Not quite as powerful and deadly a cleaning mixture as piranha acid, and both chromic acid bath and the liquid left behind after the batch of chromic acid has spent it's oxidizing power are both Cr (VI), and hexavalent chromium is highly toxic, carcinogenic, generally unpleasant stuff and rotten for the environment. I don't throw it away though, its still saturated with chromium salts, which can be recovered and recycled and used for other things; waste not, want not.

Told a whiny bossy co-worker to shut up!  She's in her 40's and complains about everybody or runs to upper management when she's made to toe the line!  Then she had a tantrum in front of everybody!  I can only be pushed so far.  She ignored me the rest of the night!   :LOL: :LOL:

I love old houses.  Partly because they have mostly self-contained rooms.  The living room, dining room an kitchen are separated by doors.  I feel more comfortable with defined areas.

Woke up at 7:30am and couldn't get back to sleep. So breakfast, shower and straightened hair happened. Then I went out the back and did some weeding. I now know that Mollie doesn't bury her shits. Mega blowflies. Liam practically excavates when he goes.

Dropped off Liam's urine at the vets and then went to the mental health service for a group session. Today was about drugs and alcohol - not really a thing for me and Kayleigh right now. But others had stories and they were worth listening to.

Went to Macca's and ate there, came home with nuggets we didn't eat. Time to feed the cats their dinner now.

I love open floor plans and high ceilings.

Except when it includes the bathroom...bathrooms should always be self contained IMO.

Fucking always.
