Time to get busy…

Sometimes the problem with living in the boonies is that the logistics of doing something is harder than actually doing something. Example…


One thing I was absolutely determined to get done this season was at least one good coat of fresh paint for the Lair, which is starting to look faded and neglected. But social anxiety kicks in: It takes so long to get paint mixed, can I get [the neighbors I catch rides to town with] to wait that long? My inner skinflint complains: It costs so much, can I do that and also buy socks for my prosthesis?


Well yes I can, especially since a Generous Reader recently took some of that burden from me. And my neighbor wanted to go get her hair done, which meant I waited for her to finish. Problem solved.

Now I just have to gear up for the first big chore of the season. And I’m motivated, because the Lair is my darlin’ and I hate to see it looking neglected.

    Is the Satin a different color? For trim, perhaps?

  2. Jim Price says:

    What I REALLY meant was, is the semi-gloss a different color?

    Did the latest order of gel socks work OK:
    [Comfort ComforGel Sock Type:BK]
    [Length:12″]
    [Ply:3 PLY]
    If so, another batch of same might be possible.

    Mark: right now I’m getting 5-ply, but after that I’ll need 3-ply so either would work.

    Jim: yeah, one’s green and one’s brown. The hardware didn’t have enough semigloss.
