Home improved
Monday, June 6th, 2005For those of us who took Keyboarding instead of Industrial Tech in 9th grade, constructing a table from scratch at the tender age of 25 is a pretty big deal. Two trips to Home Depot (including one uncomfortably long wait while an employee measured 120 inches one inch at a time because he couldn’t add multiples of 30), several brackets, screws, and a Bud Light produced this glorified card table:
Of course it’s a shitty table. The screws don’t really go all the way in, it’s held together with shelving hardware, the pressboard top (probably old growth at that) is covered with $1 mistake paint, and it wobbles when the cat jumps up on it. We’ll probably throw it away in August. But it’s my Wonderbat and I’d be more than happy to share the blueprints with you.
There’s a lot to report from the last three weeks or so. We arrived in Texas, despite Oklahoma’s best efforts. We farted to entertain ourselves through Kansas. All the things that Michigan doesn’t have are here: summer, open skies, a Chili’s at every offramp, and the friendliest strangers I’ve ever met in my life. So far it’s been easy to forget that I have to go back.
We’ll dive into all that later, though. It’s been nice being disconnected the last few weeks and I just may ignore the loyal audience a little while longer. It’s nothing personal.
