Random Thoughts

On Saturday I broke two drill bits and the thing that bothered me about them is that they did not have good chip removal, ie saw dust got stuck in the bit.  So I bought a box of new ones that had a bunch of each size for use on Sunday.  One: I didn’t break a bit yesterday through 4.5 hours of drilling.  Two: the chip removal problem went away.

So here I am at the local hardware store, looking for the right nails for the nail gun. There are three things you have to match: attachment type, head type and angle, not to mention spacing but that seems dependent on attachment type.  A store employee is helping me, and I say, “couldn’t they have limited it to one angle?” and the employee, “Engineers, making it difficult.” Or something of the like.  I wish I would have asked at that point how many times he knocks engineers to have the customer says, “actually, I am an engineer” unfortunately I was not that quick on the draw.  Probably spend too much time in CAD and not enough talking to other humans.

This is a fun neighborhood! Lisa and I went to brunch on Sunday and ran into Pete and Lynn.

Lisa then took me to a three floor antique store.  I found where the people that we so adamant about buy the stain glass windows sell them, for a 100% mark up. Yikes!

Before I moved in I thought that once I lived there I would have more time to work on projects. But now that I live in the house, I don't always want to be working on it, some times I just want to sit around and read a book or take a nap.
