Bunnies, Relaxing
Look at those gams. Just look at them.

Resuming Running
I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from running. Call it maybe 3-4 weeks or so. But over the weekend and today, I suited up and got out again. And it actually felt pretty good.
Cabinet Doors
A pretty low-key kind of day. We did a lot of work with hinges, installing the main doors for each of our cabinets. Liz and I opted to reverse the hinge placement on our drawers, with the idea that they might end up in our basement/shop next to one another.
Back Office Floor Demo Begins
This took a bit longer than usual. When working in the other areas of the second floor, there was always some ceiling drywall in place to catch all the debris. Below me is our kitchen, and all I really have is just a few plastic sheets, stretched across the floor joists.
Hoping the Story Ends Well
Spotted this on the way home. At first, I was taken aback – not sure if this was something left out accidentally. Or something left on purpose for anyone else to take, because it was no longer needed.
Baby Squirrels
A little later, we amended our theory: there were two baby squirrels, both of them calling out for their mom.
Franklin Room: Scotch Malt Whisky Society, September 2024 Outturn
Of particular note: as we were sitting down, one of the veterans (Michael)… shouted out that he wanted to sit next to Liz, because “she gets everything right.” He was referring to one of the prior events (the March outturn), where Liz was really spot-on with a lot of her predictions (the tasting involves trying to guess the age, distillery, casks used, and ABV for each dram).
Back Office Demo: Floor Removal Begins
An interesting tidbit: Liz looked up a lot of census data related to our house, and found a lot of individuals (with differing last names), all registered to this house/location.
Her theory is that the homeowners split up the top floor into smaller rooms, specifically with the intent to rent them out (to help bring in income). Which is why so many of these second floor rooms were so small.
Cabinet Hardware
Our instructor, Nick, talking through how the newly installed drawer should function.
Well Hello There, Stranger!
Well my gosh, I haven’t seen you in a long while. Hello, stranger – it’s been a minute!
As someone who’s kept (or tried to keep) a somewhat daily blog since 2002… there’s been an odd amount of radio silence, lately. No updates for a few months on here, which is a bit out of the ordinary.
Let me explain.
Cabinet Class, Drawer Work
Checking to make sure things are level and lined up. Small note: we used splines for the corner joints.
Pentwater Wooden Boat Show
Incredible designs – even though they’re still, they look to be in motion.
Sandy, Dreaming
Sandy, taking a nap and clearly dreaming of a wide, open field. Chasing after all manner of squirrels and birds, I’m sure.
Look at those little legs going. You can almost hear the wind rushing by your ears, imagining how fast she must be running.
Lunch in New Haven
I spotted this in a store window, and… I was (and still am) absolutely speechless.
I don’t event… I mean, why… of all the…
*weeps*
Managing Medication
Every time I see this large container, in my head I hear Brad Pitt saying “Drugs!”, from the movie Twelve Monkeys.
It’s… it’s a good thing I’m not a doctor.
