Sunday Cleaning

Leave a reply

As mia_mcdavid wrote, we did indeed clean out the rumpus room today. I had hoped to make some progress there, but we did far more than I had expected. It really is looking sort of decent, as garage/workrooms go. The next step for me is to clean off my workbenches, both the old one that came with the house and the one that I built here specifically for woodworking with hand tools. For that I will need to find and/or make some storage. I have some ideas about how to do that, but I probably will not get much done until next weekend.

One way or another, almost all weekend I have been doing things with mia_mcdavid. It has been good.

Need a break

colgaffneyis dance guild is meeting tonight, but we are not going to be there. mia_mcdavid has a Garden Club meeting in Roseville. Without her, I think I will just stay home. In post 35-W Minneapolis the Westward trip from Roseville is still rather grim at 6:30 PM. Also, there may be heavy rain when I would return after 9 PM. I made that trip through storms three times in the last month. That is enough for now.

The fact is I really need some time at home. Sunday was busy and I have been out the last two evenings. I have not fully unpacked from the last two weekends of camping with colgaffneyis. I am looking forward to a relaxing evening, working on a couple simple projects while watching the Mythbusters blow up things on television.
