I am clearly a peasant with my wooden pasta retention tool.

Putting up floating shelves today for my books. They are super nice looking. Altough my walls are pine planks I decided to get a stud finder to be extra secure. Of course I got home to find I also needed a 9 volt battery. Sigh. At least my nephew has one so I don't have to make the trek to town again.

Yesterday's big project, which I only observed, was taking down some trees. The guy who does it here is amazing and super personable as well. I loved how he worked with his helpers. Super positive. As they secured ropes and so forth he would shout how perfect a job they were doing. Also, totally insane way the hell high up in the sky with a chainsaw. I'll have to post a video. I sent him a few for his collection.

Well, today was supposed to be an in office day but the power went out in our part of town, so now it’s wfh. I am pausing for lunch en route.

I do like those colanders, Jen. I’ll have to check if they are available with discount….

I *can* get them for you wholesale, Jen.

Have lunched and am at the library to enjoy their wifi and air conditioning while I try to remember what work I was trying to get done today....
