caulk

Note to Self:

Some caulks dry out in the tube when they are too old.
Some caulks remain soft in the tube, but fail to harden even after application, when they are too old.

The latter happens with old GE Silicone II brand caulk, both for previously opened and unopened tubes.

splinters - headlamp

Note to self:
When trying to get a splinter out, use the headlamp flashlight to shine light on it! That is much easier than trying to hold a normal flashlight at the same time as a needle.
