FNM: Hardened scales
A couple of tweaks to the deck, and I did well until the last round when my deck pooped out, so I had a second place finish.

More shoe shelves
I have a shelf in my bedroom that I've had for longer than I've had the house. It's a particle board wonder, but it holds up my alarm clock and also is the place where I put my shoes. But I have more shoes than fit on it, which means that extra shoes are part of the perpetual clutter in the bedroom ( Read more... ) -
FNM: Hardened Scales again
After a week off for OVFF, I was back at FNM with the same Hardened Scales deck as I had last time.

Guitar case resurrection
So, many months ago, one of the hinge mounts on my guitar case handle half broke. I could still carry the case, but one side of the handle was not held quite as well as it should have been, and it looked like it would probably break at some point. So, after some while, I thought to ask at Upper Bout (the new guitar store that's in the same ( Read more... ) -
OVFF short report
I have returned safely from OVFF. I'm not going to make a full report now, because I only have a minute. Friday, my hat was well received, and the Pegasus concert was good. I went up to my room to get my guitar, and while I was carrying it down the handle on the case broke. Then I got to the alternate room and set up, and no one else came to ( Read more... ) -
Mingo
The weather is lovely, and I've been feeling good lately. I decided to do the Lake Mingo trail today. I haven't done it since before my surgery, and until a couple of months ago I definitely wouldn't have been up to it. I'm a bit tired, and I'm glad I ran out of trail when I did, but I feel good. -
Zzzz...
I went to bed early last night because after my weekend I was tired. I meant to get up early, because I'm moderately eager to get stuff done today. But it's so warm and comfortable and nice to just doze in bed. It took a long time to get up. -
FNM: Hardened Scales meh
I only changed a few cards from last week. Some crummy hands got me to 4th place out of 8 players.

Carpentry is Fun
Yesterday, I stopped by Kirchner's to pick up more screws, a magnetic screw holder attachment for the drill/driver, and a couple of boards sawn into pieces. In fairly good order, I cut the rest of the pieces I needed and made a second little table, pretty much like the one I made Wednesday, to sit by the door into the house. It's not very pretty ( Read more... ) -
Handy stuff
Today, in the spirit of locking the barn door long after the horses were stolen, I put chicken wire over the opening to the attic that the raccoons came through. I also built a little table out of wood lying around, which I put beside the door in the garage, where I can set the groceries while I open the door. I'm not a very good carpenter, but ( Read more... )
