Awake at 8:30 Coffee, Cereal, and a banana Hung flag, semi-circle flag banners on fence, and POW/MIA yard banner in front yard Braved the Wilds of Home Depot Still surprised by the selfishness and idiocy of the masses Drank More coffee Chiseled in the pockets for hinges on pantry doors and cabinet Hung and fit all the pantry doors Talked to neighbor (we were 10’ apart) and walked over to do a quick front yard fence repair job for her Skim coated 3 spots in house where drywall is/was dinged Played games over the internet with family and friends Movie (at home) with my wife Asleep by 10:30 Slept till 9:00 on Sunday. Shoulder hurts Braved Home Depot again for lumber Wife came. We bought a whole cart of flowers Really like my wife Went pet food store for bougie raw food for our two spoiled little furry monsters Drank a LOT of coffee and bought a gift card to help support out local shop during the Covid Crisis Spent too much time on Instagram and Twitter instead of working. Started the basement stair finish at 2:00 Had all the treads, kickers, and the two sides cut and test fit by 7:00 Said some dirty words to make the process go smother Did a little Amazon shopping Texted back and forth with friends Finished a Malcolm Gladwell audio book before passing out for the night. Slept late Shoulder really sore Took 3 Aleve and wife rubbed back and shoulder Procrastinated and spent time on Twitter and Instagram while drinking my coffee Started the stair tread installation Ran out of subfloor adhesive – said dirty words… Sent wife to Home Depot for more She is awesome and got EXACTLY what I needed! Hit two nails under the same tread – the 2nd to the last and broke my only two counter-sink bits. The F-Word poured forth. Drank some more coffee and cussed a little more Went back to work on the stairs Finished the initial installation Need to fill, sand, caulk, prime, paint, add baluster, and handrail before I can call it done Neighbor bought over smoked ribs! He is trying to woo my me with his BBQ skills It is working Ate them like a starving crazy person while standing over the sink, making caveman noises (according to my wife) Coat of touch-up paint in the Bathroom Yelled at a guy speeding down our tine street in a silver convertible I have become “That Guy” Installed antique glass panels into the top pantry cabinet doors Did not cut myself!! Filmed the process Downloaded video snippets from phone and camera taken over the weekend into iMovie Tickled my wife until she made me stop. I got “The Look…” Wrote a letter, sent out a couple of MoMT stickers, and wrote 2 Thank You cards Drank some rose with our pizza for dinner I may have bought a new Grill online – Memorial Day Sale! Talked to my son on the phone Had some herbal tea sweetened with my own honey Went to bed early at 11:00, but had weird dreams all night
