Well my grout cleaning went pretty well, the gray grout came out white, the brown grout came out white, unfortunately the crumbly grout around the edge tiles on the counter-top just plain came out, so my grout removal project has spawned an tile re-grouting project. Ain't it always the way. Today's link of the day is one I've been saving for a couple of weeks until it was appropriate to post... it's a listing of when this evening's meteor showers will reach peak intensities for various different areas. Unfortunately, unless the weather around these parts changes, the only thing skywatchers around here will get is an eyeful of rain, but there's still time for this to clear up.
