Had a hankering for pasta tonight, so it was penne regate with marinara, sweet & hot sausage, meatballs, and garlic toast. The sausage cooked up nicely in the #AirFryer with minimal supervision. It really hit the spot!

Looks good. I almost went to pasta tonight too but instead...cheese and crackers and pistachios. Tomorrow may be pasta day?
@FireMonkey You know- cheese, crackers, and pistachios are good in my book any day but tonight the pasta was calling and I had some sausage that needed cooking. How's PR treating you so far?

I've got a bunch of mini projects done and today I power washed the roof and the patio all day - preparing to pour leveler on the roof in the next little bit and that is so that I have a substrate for tile. Apart from that short visit to the beach and visits to good food I just picked up a couple tacos I have a meeting in about 15 minutes that I plan to be silent and unseen in order to eat them.
@FireMonkey Hah! Progress, beach, and tacos for the win! What's your roof substrate, plywood? What kind of tile are you going with?
@Ironworker229
6"of concrete. It was never sealed or finished to my knowledge. And this is the second power wash. It's very much a rough roof. But it's lovely up there. So knocking the tops off the high spots. And pouring leveler will give me a nice surface to work on. And I think it's a project I can do in bite sizes of about 6 ft by 7 ft or 40 square feet.
@FireMonkey Oh, nice! That looks like a great spot! Have you settled on the tile, yet? Something similar to what's at the bottom of the pic?
@Ironworker229
Sanded 16x16 rock cobble style. No slips! Similar to this on the ground level entry terazza.
@FireMonkey 16x16 - sweet! Nice that it has some physical as well as visual texture, for sure.
@Ironworker229
Access is interesting, but it will be sweet finished with tile. 90°F in the shade under the fan ain't bad. There's usually breezes too.

I've got a hoist setup in the corner that can lift from the sidewalk. Need to build a lift box for the cement sacks and tile to come. Or maybe just use a net bag, or a "super sack" they have for gravel/sand. I've got it rigged with 1/8th in steel cable right now - I don't think it's best for humans who want to
