The afternoon of mystery after cinco de may

 i may be too ready for rejection.  proposal selection has a positive ring to it; but today was a long day, i was up before 5 and at work by 6 so i chose to prolong finding out what happened.

Before i go on, something i think is funny:https://youtu.be/qOw44VFNk8Y

A little mystery is good for life; perhaps a little separation too, but i have had enough separation to last a lighttime.  If you were here we would sit down and check it together and commisserate or celebrate as the situation dictated, as it is I can wait.

What if this comes through, if proposal selection is not just a direction to rejected and accepted; what if things are finally coming together.  Would not it be a little bit cruel to make you go to a link just to be told no?  It is too early to expect that kind of logic; it will be disappointing and frustrating enough if it is not the obvious yes.  I dont mind saying that this would be a very big step; perhaps if the science holds up a huge step; but it is likely a proposal decision not to select, we will see; and if it goes forward, the potential limitations are signficant; although the ramifications go far down the line and it is a good time for it.

I started the process of self filing in canada; obviously something you can do there; well technically something i can do there.  I already have done that here for the deadline later this month.  Not sure where else to look; i can hire someone for next to nothing in india and i think i have another month to go there,  another month for europe which is not inexpensive.

What does proposal selection news amount to?  There should be 2 of these, perhaps if the other one reads the same way then i will know and if it is different?  what would i know then?  still nothing.

I have to do a review to get a gift card, so here is my draft of same, but it is a good and honest review and i hope the gift card is also good and honest, but we will see...






This is my review of the 3000 psi pressure washer.
First, i got this because a pool guy suggested it could take care of a black algae problem that was eating into the pool and brushing it was useless.  I figured this was worth a shot since the alternative was 8000 to redo the pool.  I will probably have to do that eventually but i may sell the house before i need to now.  With the current real estate market it would be shock if that did not happen.
i should have taken a before shot of the black algae.  some of the green algae growth is coming back, but most of the black algae was washed out, even underwater without draining the pool.  I was worried about getting a unit with enough power, so i settled on this unit, a little more expensive, but rated higher.  I used the second to highest attachment which worked well.  A more powerful unit would have been a waste of money; partially because this unit is so powerful, it will cut through the concrete pool finish if its left on too long.  I sprayed at a sharp angle to minimize that.  I will have to spot clean the rest of the black spots that are left to minimize the damage since it will probably rough up the side of the pool.  A lot cheaper than replacing the entire finish, thanks to the pool guy who suggested this.
I need to go back and try to get more of the algae out when the pool gets a little warmer, but i am adding the use of this unit to the regular maintenance since it work better than brushing and is easier at least on these ground in algae areas.
It worked extremely well around the lights and on the steps also for this purpose.
I have a couple more jobs to do and it will be interesting to see how it does on getting up the growing green stuff between bricks and pressure washing the mold from the winter off the house, but it already did the main thing and if it lasts the summer (the warranty should last that long) then it will have paid for itself several times over.  For tall jobs, the wand handle is not very long, so if i was looking for minuses i would say the hose to the wand and the wand itself could both be longer; but for my purposes they are both long enough.
It was easy to assemble; set aside 20 minutes if you have any experience with a screwdriver and hooking it to the hose and power and attaching the fittings to the wand is super easy.
It is very light weight, it almost feels too light, but when you have the power on and the water turned up and pull the trigger you get the benefit of all the powerful engine which for my purposes is better than a gas unit because its so much easier to use.  Worked well with a long hose and extension cord.
It is getting dark and it has been a long day.  I am tired and my eyes are beginning to hurt so this will have to do for a post on this seis de mayo de mistic
