Faster! Faster! Faster!
It's a busy time at work, and I'm not getting a lot of time at home.
This weekend I fixed a broken rocking chair. The original factory base-to-seat bolts had backed out (over about 15 years..) and the final remaining bolt ripped the screw insert out of the wood. This came as a shock to my son who was rocking in it at the time. :)
I flipped it upside down and replaced the non-broken hex screw, then pilot-holed and screwed in 4 #10 x 2" Phillips head screws. All better now. This was my first time using my shiny new Ryobi 1+ cordless drill. New tool sexy time!
My other accomplishment for the weekend was planting out a bunch of late summer basil seedlings and some store bought cabbages. The basil (and a couple of Dill) were ready to set these out more than a month ago, but I've been inundated with work. They've been sitting in a seed flat on the front porch. Interesting factoid: my cats love dill and lettuce seedlings, and ate most of them. :\
Ok, back to work. I have a performance review to do.
