Day 108: Heather got up and made Lawson a smoothie for breakfast, that's one of the things in her wheel house... sure I can make a smoothie but nothing good goes into mine. Sure they taste good but more of a base drink to add booze to not I just got home from jogging and need something cold and healthy before I start in on my palates, kind of drink. Then she cooked up bacon, it was discount bacon... tastes ok but not sure where the butcher learned to cut meat or what the hard part is running along the one side... meh, not in an overly picky mood today. I put on some coffee and made some rather filling omelettes, peppers, mushrooms, ham, onions, cheese, the kitchen sink... we ate, so did the bird... so did the chipmunk. He's not actually living in the house, he spends most of it's time outside where it belongs... but then it sits on the window ledge outside and looks in at the bird food which sits on the ledge just the other side of the glass... I really can't blame him. I got out the cell phone and added bird/chipmunk food to the shopping list for next week. Heather an I sorted out the issues we were having with the music and tuned the keyboard transposed it down a key and then tuned the sax to that, now we are playing the same music, it's not coming out how it is written but it sounds proper. which also allows Heather to play all the sheet music I have laying around for the keyboard. Now we need to start working on figuring out who is going to play which parts of which songs. After her lips wore out she was no good to me, boy took her out to play ball with... I started to look for things to do a few jobs around the house... still need to fix the hole in the canoe and fix the headlight covers on the cars. With 300,000 KM on them both they could use a good polish to brighten them up some. Let see, there is the polisher... can't find the compound... and there is the fiberglass... can't find the die grinder... oh crap, it's going to be Monday #3 this week, I can tell now. Hey look the grinder... it needs hooked up to (yes I just got sidetracked). So much for the other 2 projects for the day... if I find the stuff while I am cleaning up my tools I will do it but now I am hooking up the grinder. Let's see, take it out of the box... bolt on a few rests and guards... and Bob's your Uncle. Even found two carriage bolts to bolt it down to the work bench... hmmm, holes in the bench, check, lined up, check, nice and square... hmm, nuts... I asked Heather to get them, they were in the dining room. She told me I already had 2 nuts and that's where the install stalled. They continued to play ball. Lawson brings his new bat into the shop... apparently Mommy was hitting the ball and got a little over zealous. Ya, with the knots in the handle I didn't expect it to last long with the boy using it, adult usage was never in the cards for it. He asked what we can do with it, seems he was liking it more than I had thought. I cued the big part back up on the lathe. Ya I will fix it hang on a minute. The bat got shorter, the handle got smaller, sanded it back down again and gave it back to him... there a practice bat... now you have to hit one handed, go play. They went for Ice cream at the corner store. I cleaned up the wood chips and went to be horizontal for a while. Heather put some buns in the oven and boiled some eggs... apparently she was in the need for egg salad sandwichs. No one took the chicken wings out of the freezer and we had pizza the other night so pizza and wing night was a bust this weekend. Maybe next weekend. At some point in the evening everyone was lying in bed with daddy playing some form of video game on what ever we had handy. No one lasted very long after dinner. It got dark out.
