A preemptive strike at the blog this morning since I forgot yesterday and today isn't looking great. My major accomplishment on Wednesday was the hanging of a storm door, including purchasing the door, lashing it to the truck, tearing out the old door, and installing the new one and all of its accoutrements. In the hot sun of the first summer day in Michigan and without a powered screwdriver it took several hours to accomplish all of this (very humbling) but it feels good to be accomplishing actual DIY tasks.
Tuesday, looking back, was a pretty odd day. RP went to DC and I got the day off...unexpectedly. I did my best to be productive (read: made calls) and took the big blue bus to central and got a haircut, but surprise free time is a slippery devil. The other RP (Ryan from last summer) came over in the evening for a great steak dinner - the one we were scheduled to have on our last night in Macungie - and it was fun to hang out and catch up. He's off to South America in a week and then to Australia for six months in early July, so it felt like a momentous occasion.
