- Boo spent 10 minutes in the tub tonight making up his own superhero theme song.
- Something about monsters and bad guys and lightning, but with a pretty good bass line.
- All of the electrical work in the bathroom is complete. I wash my hands of the project.
- Actually, I usually wash my hands in the project, but you get my meaning.
- If you turn on the lights above the sink, the lights on the exhaust fan, and the light in the closet, there don’t seem to be any shadows in my bathroom.
- Note to self – Irish Woman gets jumpy when I touch all of the live wires on the three way light switch all at once. Stop doing that.
- Hint to hardware stores – Put the fencing material in the same department as the fencing.
- It took me 30 minutes to find rigid metal fencing this morning.
- It was all the way across the store in the garden center.
- I have an extra 25 feet or so of the stuff now. I wonder what Irish Woman will dream up to make good use of it?
- I gave up today and admitted that I’m going to be busy doing projects for the foreseeable future.
- I did the math and figured out that it was cheaper to buy outdoor screws by the thousands than to buy them by the pound. I save by buying bulk, and save on time and gas.
- Of course, I’ll have to buy beer and such in bulk too, because runs to the hardware store are a great excuse to stop off for a six-pack.
- Built an enclosure around the stubs of Irish Woman’s baby blueberry bushes today. Apparently one of the pets (cough Moonshine cough) thinks they taste delicious.
- Sometimes I think he’d make a good throw rug, but those moments are becoming rarer and rarer.
- Made the mistake of letting the kids watch Pocahontas this evening over pizza.
- They should have subtitled that movie “White Guilt”.
- I’d call this movie ham-handed, but that would be an insult to swine.
- The scene where I just had to walk away was when the Indian male love interest dude tries to knife John Smith for kissing Pocahontas. One of Smith’s friends shoots him with a matchlock (seriously dude, when you see someone fiddling with the magic boomstick that you’re so impressed with and then pointing it at you, just leave). Pocahontas is all taken aback that her friend got shot while trying to kill someone and starts screaming “You killed him!”.
- I got “The Look” when I walked away saying “Well, maybe he needed killing!”.
- If John Smith were half the man that Han Solo was, he would have asked Pocahontas if she’d preferred to watch him get sliced open like a cantaloupe.
- When asked by Irish Woman what I thought about planting more fruit bushes around the property, I replied that she could plant whatever she wanted wherever she wanted as long as my list of things to build didn’t get longer, it didn’t hurt the utilities, and it was neither immoral or illegal.
- See? I can be reasonable.
- Patience – Smiling peacefully at the nice old lady who is arguing with the clerk at the gas station about her lottery tickets when all you want to do is pay for your soda and ask for the key to the men’s room.
- I was so funky from crawling around in the attic and working outside today that when I rubbed my forehead, I came back with crumbles of crud.
- I always thank the Lord that I live in a place where hot water comes out of the tap, not off the stove.

/ March 16, 2013Congrats on finishing the electrical project!
My first thought on extra fencing actually was “either tomato cages or fruit tree fences.” … And here you are already using it on the blueberry bushes.
I still need to put insulation in the attic. I understand the funky, and between Calmer Half and myself, I know who’s going to be the one blowing the insulation up in the attic. Sigh.
Hey, did you know they make remote cutoffs for insulation blowers now, so you no longer get the huge pile of “how long until you get out of the attic and yell at the people manning the blower?” to rake around. I love technology!

/ March 17, 2013We have some very old fiber glass insulation in our attic, which I need to replace/supplement at some point. It’s good enough, but not as good as I would have it.
