Busy, Busy Day!
Mar. 19th, 2011 02:01 amToday I:
Took action in my retirement portfolio before even opening both eyes or getting out of bed
Hung out with my Dad at Hot Mommas
Bought several 15-ft pieces of long-leaf pine, plus a few cedar boards, for under $11 at the Habitat Restore
Bought 9 tomato seedlings at The Great Outdoors
Responded to several important digital messages
Gave money to my roommate to pay for her ongoing re-modeling of The Shed into something more like a Building.
Weeded and watered the potato bed, which now has 5 or 6 vines breaking the surface!
Replaced the spark plugs and wires on my long-broken Geo Metro, which seems to have fixed it! The 38/54 mpg driving is *way* cheaper than the 22/26 mpg driving! Now I just need to get the scooter fixed, so I can resume my more regular 1-cent-per-mile commuting.
Treated said Metro to a much-needed bath, and bought badly-needed battery lugs for it, by *driving* it to the auto parts store
Ordered an ammeter to add to the instrument cluster on the scooter, which will tell me whether the 80 amp breaker, which is tripping every few miles, is actually broken or properly rescuing my testicles from plasma immolation
Fixed a Massive Plug in our kitchen sink. After plungers, disassembling, the p-trap, and the 15-ft snake failed to dislodge the clog, I had to resort to an expansion bladder, which plugs up the drain and forces water down the pipe. I had water coming out onto the roof through the vent, but I managed to get it cleared. Next time I'm renting one of those super-scary powered roto-rooter things from the hardware store that my roommate has informed me has put two people he knew in the hospital.
Called my Mom to discuss some important estate planning details
So while I have done about zero toward my next iPhone game today, I can now see that my earlier guilty feeling that "I didn't accomplish shit!" today is a bunch of malarkey . :)
EmberWerks: We do more after 10 AM than most people do all day
