Puttering Around

It was a beautiful day today, hardly any wind and sunny, 55-60F and the day that makes you feel guilty for being inside. After Thinking Day Kendall played with some other girls at the playground and I read in the car. I felt I should be doing something, but she was having a good time.

Finally she came back, we went to Sonic and sat outside, having a nice lunch together. Tia had called and asked if we wanted to come meet her and bring bikes while she rode. We were thinking to do it, but when we got home Kendall said she didn't want to go. So I decided to get a few things done.

First I got the door closer put on the door to the garage. I've been meaning to do that for weeks and just haven't spent the time to get it set up. So I got that up and adjusted it so we now have the door closing automatically. I went in and out a few times and it was strange getting used to the resistance, but it's nice to have the door closing automatically.

I wanted to clean up a bit, so I swept out the garage and moved a few things to the shed. I started straightening that up since it was a mess, but Kendall came out and wanted someone to play. I got her to play "car wash" and we cleaned out the inside and outside of the car a bit. It really needed it.

Then I decided to stop up the duct collector. I had a joint break and so it needed to be fixed. I pulled that section apart and sealed it back up. I didn't have the parts to get it set back up and wasn't sure what I wanted to do there (how to lay it out), and I wanted to get something done. Then I started working on the lathe until Tia came to get me with horse issues.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to get a little more time out there and start getting more organized.
