mmm - veggie lasagna šŸ™‚ lunch with **Soapy** and **Soapette** was very nice if brief (damned lap band), and will be repeated many many times. Soapy has the photographic evidence, and Iā€™m sure she will post a link later this afternoon. ---

Hiyas!!! Finally have a chance to check in and post. Iā€™ve been helping \*\*FCD \*\*finish up his workstation project. He got stuck yesterday because his brain was wrapped around an unyielding paradigm. When he told me what his problem was, I had an immediate solution, and he was all :smack: because the answer was so obvious but he just didnā€™t see it. Heā€™s a really good designer, but he tends to zero in on an idea and he doesnā€™t consider alternatives. I approach designing by considering many possible options, then I pick them all apart till I determine the best answer. In many ways, engineering is an inexact processā€¦ Anyway, we were playing with plywood today. I was using the drill press, the chop saw, the bandsaw, and the belt sander while he played with the table saw, several drills, the jigsaw, and now various electrical tools. The workstation design is quite good - we had to stand it up outside because itā€™s too tall for our basement. Then we disassembled it and loaded the pieces into the truck. Heā€™ll have flunkies in Johnstown to help unload the parts and assemble the workstation, so thatā€™s good. While we were working in the garage, \*\*tugig \*\*called, but we didnā€™t hear the phone, so an hour later I got the message. Drat! I thought he was planning on Monday. Even if Iā€™d gotten the call, there was no way I could have met him today. Bummer. ā˜¹ Itā€™s about time to plan supper. I donā€™t feel like cooking and I donā€™t have any leftovers. Weā€™ll see what my sweetie wants when heā€™s done messing with the lights for the workstation. Whoā€™s got tomorrow?? Surely someone whoā€™s never started us off before wants to have a go at coming up with a topic that weā€™ll ignore after the 3rd or 4th postā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ Happy Rest of Sunday! ---

\*\*Butters \*\*- I just sent you a PM with all the dirty details. You will soon have a set of 4 predominantly green, hand-crafted FairyChatTrivets! šŸ˜ƒ We let Red Robin make supper. We had to make an emergency dash to Loweā€™s before they closed because \*\*FCD \*\*had a brain fart and mis-measured some electrical wire. But after a quick meal, he came home and finished and all is well. I brought in the jeans I washed for him for his trip, then watered my 'maters, and showered my stinky, dirty self. Isnā€™t it amazing how a bit of cleanliness can make you feel better? Iā€™m still exhausted, but Iā€™m clean and not stinky! Yay!! \*\*flytrap \*\*- if you do decide to get us started, make sure MMP is the last thing in your thread subject or many Mumpers will be very confused. In fact, apart from the requirement to send me chocolate love offerings frequently and spontaneously, having MMP at the end of our thread titles is about the only hard and fast rule. That, and using coastersā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ And some folks start the MMP on Sunday night before they go to bed. Just sayinā€™ā€¦ And on that note, I think Iā€™ll go veg the evening away in front of the TV. I worked hard today and I deserve it! ---
