 <\/p>\n
It’s almost 1 on Sunday morning and I’m just sitting down to blog. I was busy all day with one project or another. I’ve just finished filling the nail oles on the molding we put up.. I ran out of Spackle.. so I had to call it a night. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I stuck a samstone in every void I had to patch.. it’s quite a time capsule now !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actually, what made me really call it a night is when the Spackle I did have fell of the ladder and went ‘kersplat’ <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This house painting and prep  is a ton of work.. but it’s very satisfying. Diane mad a bunch of blank room templates that we’re colring in to find some paint colors..<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Guess which one is Gabe’s ?!?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent most of the day over at Homers frantically working on the ‘Oriject-X’ monstor. It’s really coming together. Today we rebolted evreying, fixed all the wiring, mounted the legs to the base… and a ton of other refinments.. He stands and waves his arms very natureally now.. or at least natrually enough for a 17 foot monstor pumpkin guy. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Homer had also captured a walking stick.. we’re taking soem movies of him because we want to copy his movements in a pneumatic robot we’d both like to build. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Homer and I worked 9 hours straight to day on the project. We took a few minutes to go on a hardware run to Vergennes. While  there we dropped into the Fat Hen, Even M’ s wife’s place, for some food.  It’s a nice funky place.. with many strange mumper stickers on the wall.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

 Somehow there we got to wondering how many grains of rice were in a cubic inch.  (any guesses ? ) <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We each did the counting..our own way.. but I did bisections, quadrasection, etc.. my count awas about 2100… Homr devided his up a different way and came out with a little less.. so.. it’s about 2000. Tha’s usfule info.. no ? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hanging out with Homer down there is so much fun.. I learn something cool each time I go down to work.  He’s such an amazing thinker… <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well.. I gotta stop typing and begin sleeping.. I’m falling asleep as I type again.   It’s always hard to go straight from blogging to sleep.. I need to unplug a little first.. just like Homer’s milling machine.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’ I go.. g’nite folks.. more tomorrow. ‘Nite Sam !
