My wife
wants false and removable backs on the window boxes that I had to rebuild so
that everything you put on a shelf doesn’t end up falling way back where you
can’t reach it. I’m trying to figure out how to do that while keeping it
removable, attractive, and functional.
The screen
door on the back of the house was relatively cheap and fell apart. Should I buy
a new screen door or I wonder if I might be able to actually build something
attractive? If I try and make it myself, how do I join the horizontal and
vertical pieces, because I don’t have a jointer or a dado blade, just a table
saw. Should I use the table saw to remove half of the ends on the
horizontal and vertical pieces so that I can glue them together and have the
thickness of one board, or should I try and tongue and grove it? Can you do
that with a table saw if you have patience?
The side
door to our garage has been collecting water for 20 years and the frame is
rotted out to the point that you can put your finger through it. This is a reoccurring
theme in this house. How hard will it be to replace that damned door frame? How
do I keep it from happening again? Gotta build some sort of roof over that side
door to keep the water off of it. How the hell do I do that? How much of the
structure behind that door frame is rotted out too and will require rebuilding?
Why in the HELL did I sell a 100 year old house to buy this piece of garbage –
what was I thinking?
If it weren’t
for all of the lives that could be lost, I could almost hope for a tornado as
it truly would solve many of my worries.

The nodules
on my darn legs refuse to go away. Normally they last about 6 months and then go away for about a year.
This round has been going on for about 18 months now with no sign of going
away. Every time I stop taking steroids, the stuff comes back with a vengeance.
I’ve taken more steroids over the last 18 months than a cyclist team prepping
for the Tour De France. It makes it just a bit harder to rebuild an entire
house when it hurts to walk, and when your brain is so soaked in steroids that
you can’t fricken think straight and clear anymore. I wonder if I should try
and increase my life insurance just in case? Is that taking money away from my
family that could be better used, or is that putting money away for them if
this shit turns out to be a symptom of something serious?
I wonder how
my son William and his family are doing? Proud of him for making a family and
taking care of them. Sort of wish he wasn’t in the Navy so we could be
closer and be a part of their lives, but I’m also proud of him for doing the
smart thing and staying in the Navy.
There is a large hole in my daughters bedroom ceiling where my poor wife fell through it trying to get Christmas stuff outta the attic while I was away. I wonder where that should be on my priority list.

My wife
wants false and removable backs on the window boxes . . .
Can I make
my own screen door? If I try, what method/design should I use?
The side
door to our garage is rotted out . . .
The bathroom
is STILL gutted. . .
Would a
tornado be a good thing or a bad one?
The 1967
Mustang wont start . . .
I wonder how
Billy is doing?
Is my sister all right?
Is my sister all right?
My wife is
kind of quiet lately. I wonder if we are OK?
My daughter
is 14 now and starting to demand some independence. This causes a bit of friction . . .
My 8 year
old son spends all his time in front of the idiot box. His father is gone on the road all week and then spends every weekend working on the house and doing laundry. At 52 years old, I'm a bit old for teaching him to ride a bike and playing at the park. Boy did that kid get screwed . . .
I should
call my mother. Nope, scratch that. Mom has been gone for years. You would think I'd have that through my thick head by now.

So yeah, here I sit at 430 AM writing my thoughts, slurping coffee, and wondering if I can listen to a record without waking up everyone?
