Two projects today: fixing my cellphone for better charging, and backdating my bedroom light fixture with a homemade copy of a turn-of-the-century ceiling light (right down to a replica Edison-Mazda style bulb.) Old & new at the same time.

Sometimes at work we use grease pencils aka chinagraph pencils for filling tiny cosmetic defects in vehicle parts. Turns out, artists like them too. I did not know that--basically they feel like a mix of lead pencil & Crayola crayon, come in various colors, and seem like a hilariously simple idea for artists with a budget.
Somewhere I saw that "Art disturbs the comfortable, and comforts the disturbed."
I need to get rid of so much of the "collection" here--love collecting antiques/vintage but it's time to thin the herd further. Selling or giving away is equal to, or more fun than, collecting.
October is almost here. I can hardly wait.
Boy howdy I hope I never have to attend another gathering with Based Tradcath Intellectual types.
Busy day today but I think it was a good one. I'm glad work is still going alright. Tired, and have to prep for travel last-minute, but am going to study and eat first and the rest will come as it may.
Got bored this evening. Did you know a Singer sewing-machine can stitch a hem into a folded piece of beverage can? Neither did I, but it did all right.
Some days I think I have the nicest girl friend in the whole world, but only days ending in -Y, and when I'm breathing.
Finally, home internet again!
I want to bake a pan of peanut butter brownies. That might be a this week project.
Sold a typewriter and got enough for a pile of car parts, saving me quite a bit in repair bills.
I don't know. Maybe it was going to IKEA that did it. But I have a craving to replace my Toyota with an early Volvo 240.
Apparently I'm absolutely crushing it at work. I've applied Gilbreth motion studies to improve my speed at assembling vehicle parts...
Hurricane coming, got to make sure I have everything squared away. Should be a lot of rain but otherwise no worries.
Cooking dinner, sewing napkins, preparing for guests and building an absolutely terrifying electric experiment in the living room. This is the life for me.
Work actually was nicer today; I was working on an assembly process instead of repair department, and I like that.
Driving today the brakes failed on my car. Two hours later and I had a temporary fix enough to get home on. I think tomorrow is the day I buy a caliper rebuild kit.
Worked a full shift. Spent a few hours in the barn and rode. Now at church. It's a good day!
