Woodworking realistically: 81/100
Last week I mentioned that I was investing in some new tools for woodworking. Namely the Kreg pocket hole jib. I had even posted about a project that I was going to work on this last weekend. Instead we ended up running errands, installing electrical extensions, and painting the interior of the cabin. Basically I…

Painting the cabin : 80/100
Part of yesterday’s errands involved stopping at the paint store so we could paint the interior of the cabin. We are making a good push to get the cabin wrapped up this summer. It’s only taken 3 summers to get it done. Last month we got the drywall done so we could install the solar…

Wire it up! : 79/100
Today was small projects day. We made a run over to my parents house in Durango and picked up a small fridge from them. Then we got paint at the Benjamin Moore store, and finally got a pickup order from Home Depot. The big small project of the day was wiring up my shed with…

Watching over you : 77/100
Got my repaired/replaced apple watch back a few days ago. If you read my last post about it breaking you know that I have misgivings about this device now. Do we need technology to be so personal?

However I don’t have a great grasp of the fundamentals and therefore lack confidence. The last proper instruction I had…

Monsoon season : 74/100
This last weekend we had a heat wave pass through the area. Temperatures were above 90F for at least 5 days straight. Yesterday was by far the warmest day of the heat wave. Then, just as the sun was setting, we had a few small rainstorms roll in. Today was cloudy and a little stormy…

Entertaining in a Pandemic : 73/100
The pandemic sure is making this a strange summer. Generally we are going to music festivals a few times a month. Then the local bands that play at the various bars and restaurants during the week are happening. We listen to great music, meet lots of people, and see old friends. Live music was one…

Adapt : 72/100
The pandemic is causing a lot of change to happen. Even here in the US there are people taking this seriously and following the directions of medical professionals. Masks are becoming normalized. Social distancing is a thing. Is it convenient? Not at all but it is necessary. As with anything new and different we need…
