Morning coffee, cats, and contemplation session completed two hours ago. Cursory clean up in the kitchen done, dishwasher running. Cat litter box addressed, dirty clothes in the laundry room for later. One charge used up on the trimmer, 3 fills of the sprayer used up on the grass in the...

Had dinner last night with two college buddies, then we caught a game at the local AA MLB affiliate team. Great way to end a 60 hour work week. I needed it

Wall patching, yeah, doing that myself, too. I love my orbital sander
