Peaceful day.. amazingly, incredibly and eerily peaceful day.. Gabe was out camping with Ian and Hannah.. leaving just me and Diane here . Not only that.. but I had nothing big to do.. no huge deadlines.. no big projects.. (but a big stack of small ones) and no plans . I slept late, .. Diane and i then took a run with the dogs, did some yoga ate breakfast.. .. then came the tough job of figuring out what to do with my free time.. How do people deal with leisure..maybe that’s why folks have TV’s It’s a tough concept coming off of a week where I didn’t even have time to think.. It’s a bit like running off the end of one of those moving sidewalks at an airport… and forgetting to slow down at the end..
In the end we found good ways to fill the day.. Diane and I solved the mystery of the broken dryer.. we’ll Diane figured it out, actually.. she discovered that the cover of the ironing board had fallen down into the air inlet of the dryer causing it to burn out two thermal cutoff switches.. We cleaned the garage .. (sort of).. and we cleaned the three wood bins preparing for the 6 cord of next years fire wood which will come on Monday or Tuesday.. . I also dismantled, debugged and replaced and errant silicon control rectifier in the repulsion coil that my friend Marty had built for me.

That got me to till about 1 PM. when I was overcome with a strong need to sleep.. despite nearly 8 hours of sleep last night.. I couldn’t fight this off.. Next thing I new it was almost 4.. I woke to a call from Max.. he had a welding question.. two welding questions actually.. and I eased back into consciousness trying to imagine the machine he was trying to fix..

Now it’s 7:30 and I’m alone in the house.. everyone’s out shopping (I think) .. It’s extremely calm and quiet

now what ?

nite all, nite sam
