Diane Gab and I barely moved outside of the 30 foot circle of our living room all day. My biggest accomplishment fo rthe day ? &#8230; taking an hour nap !..\u00a0\u00a0 Well.. actually.. I did accomplish two additional things I&#8217;d wanted to do for weeks.. First, I managed to clean up my Lab.. it had been pretty much destroyed while I was working on the lighting for the timecycle project. . Here&#8217;s a before shot.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug2909\/aug2909001.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">And here&#8217;s an after shot.. this is the way I imagine keeping it in my head.. it usually stays like this for only 20 minutes or so.. but they are 20 happy minutes. .. As they say.. a full disk is a sign of a full mind.. and empty desk is a sign of an empty mind. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug2909\/aug2909003.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Cleaning the lab was such an existential pleasure that I couldn&#8217;t stop Next I attacked.. (DUH-DUH-DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)\u00a0 my sock draers.. They were .. (and are) quite a mess.. In there I found all sorts of things.. sentimental and other wise.. magic tricks, lock picks, dictionaries old prescriptions, 2 missing ipods,\u00a0 tos of forign coins and bills, a huge basked of audio cables, memory simms, bluetooth adapters, international wall plugs. old business cards, 5 year old gum, 6 lasers, 3 spinning tops, a remote control\u00a0 toy tank, 6 homemade knives (from Sam).. letters from my great, great uncle in German, 2 clothespins, candy cigars, a yarmulke, several watches.. etc.. t was cathartic to clean it out.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug2909\/aug2909004.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">now my sock drawer has socks !<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug2909\/aug2909006.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Just when I thought the day would be perfectly wuite, I get a phone call, 10PM.. It&#8217;s homer, the trailer they have the time cycle on has broken down.. it&#8217;s got too much weight. They dropped about 1600 pounds of stuff in Oneata and are now heading back to Vermont to find a new trailer. .. Oy veh !\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been on the phone for the last hour trying to find them another trailer..I may have found one in Jeffersonville.. but it may be too small.\u00a0 <b>If you have a trailer that can carry 6000 pounds, is at least 16 feet long, has a ball hitch and can part with your trailer for a week and a half.. please let us know !<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 Never, ever a dull moment around here..<\/p>\n<p>OK.. I&#8217;m going to sleep now. I&#8217;ll worry about the trailer in the morning.. for now.. Gnite all.
