It's "Niagara Falls", Jan, not Niagra (regardless of how you say it).
Has anyone any experience with self-cleaning (auto non-clogging) gutters?

I probably will after this year. I have a lot of trees, which drop
leaves, "cotton", needles, and twigs.

I havent accomplished anything around the house recently. I havent even
finished my list of things to do although after reading this item, I
might add "gutters" to the list. ;)

Got the second pair of mounting brackets routed to thickness,
then cut to length and mitered to proper angle. All four
brackets sanded (shelves were sanded yesterday), and all
the wood is slathered with stain. It is all now sitting
outside, bleeding off petroleum fumes. The morning will tell.

Got new glasses. Valerie actually made an appointment with LensCrafters
before reading the item in spring agora, so while I thank you for all your
advice, we didn't actually use any of the doctor recommendations. Valerie's
eyesight checked out just fine. I got a new perscription with a little
extra bifocalish stuff for reading. Since the reading correction was pretty
small, the optometrist, Dr Lutz recommended progressives - the distortion
isn't going to be that great with a small correction. I was very satisfied
with Dr Lutz (in the Briarwood Lenscrafters). I wasn't especially impressed
with the glasses-selling part of Lenscrafters, but they weren't outright bad
either. I did end up with a fairly expensive pair of glasses. Might have
been possible to get the equivalent cheaper someplace, but I don't feel bad
about that.

Mailed stuff to mom & brother, installed AC as mentioned in Happy item, and
have purchased and boxed up/addressed birthday present for bf. If only I
were this good at getting research done!

Patched a hole in a window screen, and chemically balanced a swimming
pool.

Yesterday, I took away some belongings of mine from my folks' house.
They are downsizing from their California split to a one-story rambler.

Finished mowing the front lawn. Not that much taken away,
so out with the sprinkler to make sure it gorws more in the next
week. Somehow does not seem logical. Enough to cause a Vulcan
to laugh.

Why didn't you wait for the grass to grow more?

Obtained a small Lincoln wire-feed arc welder, with a nearly full spool,
for a reasonable price.

You water a lawn? You seem to know that makes it grow more, and yet
you do it. I never water my lawn. Unforunately, though, I still have to mow
it (though I am not sure why).

You don't water it, you have unsightly dry grass

Just cover the lawn with plastic to keep the rain off, and you'll greatly
reduce mowings. Eventually you won't need to mow at all. ;)

Unsightly dry grass is the price we pay for trying to grow northern
European lawn grasses in places they weren't meant to live.

I've let my lawn go wild. I'd rather it were native, but I'll take what I
can get.

Dry grass is a lovely brown color, as attractive as green. And it doesn't
require mowing or anything else. It revives every year too, when wet
weather comes again.
I also let my grass go wild. There are a lot of interersting tiny flowers
in it in the spring, and something other than grass has taken over under
the trees, apparently better adapted to permanent shade. The one thing I
do do annually, is "superseed" - just reseed the whole lawn in the spring.
This fills in between the non-grass plants very nicely.

My yard is mostly creeping willie. Grass needs sun.
What does wild yard consist of in Ypsi?
