We had a delightful time today and I think I can safely say that the painting of the garage has closed. I'd like to make a comment here that painting can indeed be tough work, and painting the ceiling can be difficult for those of a shorter stature. Just saying. Well, finished up with that and began drawing some plans to temporarily convert a metal rack with adjustable shelves into a mobile greenhouse! I unfortunately had to leave before it was complete. But I learned how to use a drill press, and had a refresher on 45 degree right triangles. Can we organize a march to protest the fact that we aren't on the metric system yet? Please!?
Perhaps my fellow hooligan Joffna will release the details of this fun project. And if you ever see a 6'2'' guy walking around with a neon orange hat, it's probably Nathan. He's pretty cool. He comes a lot and is a ton of fun to talk to. Once I got paint in my hair and he helped get it out. (See, Jaffna's just not tall enough to be able to provide that type of service, poor little waif.) He's quite friendly! And experienced in not dripping paint everywhere. And he also knows how to open paint cans efficiently. That's another skill I'm working on. Apply screwdriver at a 45 degree angle upwards and whack smartly. Repeat as necessary.
Also a random thank-you to the Starbucks on Calumet who supplied my dad with free coffee for the crew at Riverview. They're talking about organizing a crew of their own some day! What an excellent idea!
Did you know that people eat pickled artichoke hearts on pizza? I don't understand the human race.
Exclamation marks show up as I's. I am quite sad. I also forgot to mention a brief kerfuffle about whether Stonecellar's or Frank's had better pizza. For all those debaters out there, the answer is obvious (Perm, do both)
