The compressor, the air hose and the stapler arrived today. The compressor is heavy. I filled it with oil, installed the air filter and briefly ran it. I need couplers for my air hose since it doesn't have any and none came with the compressor. Home Depot orLowes should fill the bill. Wall Street is doing great. All my preferreds are performing above par. Net portfolio is at a high. Now it's time to sit back and collect the divvy's. Did the 4.4 mile walk today and finished the Gemma Bruce book. I looked this author up and found her bio. Former dancer with Thyla Thorp turned writer. Dinner tonight was spinach lasagna. Watched the elimination show on Dancing with the stars tonight then watched the opening of the NY Philharmonic. They have a new conductor, alan Gilbert. I wasn't too keen on Renee Fleming's choice of songs. My weight is holding. with luck I will see 219 by Oct 1. I hated the AVSA web site tonight. Still have nothing but crap for the convention.
