momentum is a dangerous thing to lose.
this weekend was spent building up momentum and forcing myself to do work that needed to be done. and once i got started, i really didnt want to stop, because i knew, when i did, it would be hard getting back to it. conversing with the TikiMaster helped.
got a regretful RSVP from mr. and ms. Z saying they wouldnt be able to attend thanksgiving, but that got me thinking that perhaps we should do a pre-Thanksgivng dinner with them and the TikiMaster who will all be out of town. I mentioned it to Nala, and then, an idea came together. The dinner will be motivation to finish the TikiMaster suite, where our friend jay stays when he visits.
yesterday, we fixed the back gate's sagging post and demolished the garage-door-opener which had been attached. sure, it was a great idea, but the sagging gate dragged on the ground and not only burnt out the motor, but broke the chain, leaving the whole thing to rust, while its untreated lumber housing rotted away.
and, i replaced our old mercury-based thermostat with a new electronic model with 7 individual day, 4 zone-per-day settings. it seems to be working perfectly so far, but then again, it has been warm.
i also measured (and ordered) the storm windows for our breakfast nook. i hope i never again have to spend that much money at lowe's.
tonight, my hopes are to work some on the plants from outside, clean up the stove, and the breakfast nook. perhaps even run to an appliance mart to get a new dehumidifier. and maybe even return mr. and mrs. T's table. and there's an old grill to be delivered. and i need to clean up the dog kennel and put it away.
and, i need to email the folks, and jeff re: his website, and ...
damn. i need another day off. or 5.
