I slept in until a little after 11am Sunday Morning. Then I commenced my day of rest:

• Windexed all of the windows in the house, and 409′ed all of the window sills (including puke that one of the cats decided to share)
• Tidied up around the house, dishes, straightening, putting stuff back in their place, making the bed etc
• Scooped all of the litter boxes
• Folded a load of laundry (and later in the evening put another load in the dryer)
• Washed the exterior of all of the windows, and their respective window screens
• Went out and got some Wingstop chicken wings as a surprise dinner. Turned out being a surprise as I had hoped and they were enjoyed.
• Re-painted the bronze base on a stone gargoyle. I would have preceded to patina it but I really need daylight for that

I nodded off on the futon for a little while between dinner and the gargoyle.

Pretty constructive day of rest….

I`m watching a big wheel
Inside of a big wheel
That`s part of a big wheel
Turn it round
I`m hooked on a big wheel
Stuck on a big wheel
In my mind there`s a big wheel

I’ve been pretty busy… my once regulars will probably have summed as much and faded away, attracted to those that update at least periodically. Thats fair enough. I can’t blame you, or them.

Anyways…

I am still busy. Actually really busy, and likely to get busier.

Bode well for updates? Probably not.

But I can try my best.

But enough of this… why am I so busy?

Well, work is ramping up, and will continue to do so over the next month or so as I temporarily take on extra duties.

I recently installed mounts for two speakers either side of our fireplace in our living room. That was a pretty decent sized project (and I am not talking about off the shelf type mounts - I made these from scratch out of some 1×2 lengths of wood), at least for me, and I got to use some new tools that my father-in-law generously gave to me. Unfortunately, that is just the beginning. Now I need to run speaker wire inside the wall on the other side of the living room, up into the ceiling, across it, and then down the side of the fireplace on the other side of the living room to the speakers. Once I do that we should have 7.1 surround sound from our entertainment center. But that seems like such a long way away, a journey of running wires, navigating studs, crossbars, crawling in attics, banging heads (mine, mostly), trial and error, and probably some mistakes to cover up. Yup, fun fun.
