And another week flies by....
Sep. 22nd, 2006 09:24 am( Here's what I did: )
- Odd little things that I've learned this week:
- If you yell a string of curses and gobbledygook at the MN-DOT voice recognition program, it connects you to a customer service representative
- Cheap modern windows are much worse than old windows in at least one sense: if the old ones don't work properly, you can take them apart and repair them (I could probably extrapolate beyond windows here)
- Making polenta is a pain in the arm
- Having a truly flat surface is a necessity for tuning fine woodworking tools and sharpening stones
- Chisels are much more versatile and precise than I ever realized
- Bus stops are fluid things
- The odor of poly-oil permeates everything and takes a long time to go away
- So does the odor of raw onions, particularly when allowed to soak into one's hands (okay, so I knew this one before)
- Extremely lean ground beef is less than ideal for sloppy-joe making
