It's really not that hard...I'm slowly learning but I think I could do most things you've listed.

This weekend I learned how to install base boards, a toliet and a mirror. Big Grin
You lie.

You're a woman. You can't install bathroom decor from the kitchen.

I need to learn to build things. And hang things. And measure properly. So far I've hung my new LCD HDTV on the wall but I tried to center it & failed miserably. At least it's level and I'm reasonably certain I got the 2 bolts drilled into/near the center of 2 studs.

Hanging a cabinet in the bathroom? Not so much. Measured a dozen times. Marked everything including the wall. Measured again. Drew it on paper. Measured. Hung the cabinet. It's off-center also. Which might not matter as I'm hanging a bigger medicine cabinet eventually but it pisses me off that I measured and measured and still did it wrong. laugh out loud

I wish I could build shelves. I want to put all my AV crap on very minimal shelves since the TV is mounted with hidden outlets and all. You can't see any wires at all and I'd love to get the set-top box, the receiver, and the blu-ray player all mounted on invisible shelves if possible. But after the shenanigans with the cabinet I'm not so sure I should try. LMAO

Either that or I'll get really good at patching drywall...
Guess who is really good at hanging things AND can patch drywall? Big Grin

I got a new bike! Whee And so did DH! Whee And we got one for BT! Whee there weren't any small enough for LT. Coverlaugh so we're raising the seat on BT's old bike for him until we get him a new one.

Going on a family bike ride soon. Cool

I haven't ever worn a bike helmet. Weird. It's been 14 years since I've been on a bike. Shocking
I did 31 miles today.

An out and back, as it was on the side roads next to I-80 that heads to Lake Tahoe / Reno...

Gawd...it was only my second road ride of the year (damn rain Ranting ) but I can tell my spin class is paying off...but I need more time on the road...but I only have till the 15th...the 16th is a 100Km (~64 miles)...and I'm Scared it's been 15 years since I did the 100K.

Quote from AggieMom :
For sure - we all have helmets. It's required when you ride bikes at Cub Scout events. We rode around the neighborhood together - 2 miles. Little dude got a little tired, but it was fun!
A few years back...same ride, but the 50K was more like ~40 miles...my budy and his kid were on the ride and when we got to the finish, his kid wanted to go out 5 miles 'n back so that he'd get 10 more and get his 50 mile bike badge for scouts.nod

Morning all!

DS9 was up late with a slight fever and stopped up. Wondering if it is allergies (he has them terribly) since we were outside all yesterday. Do allergies cause fever?


Also, anyone on FF4? I keep getting the popup to upgrade but am reluctant.

Today has been a great day.

Finished the platform bed. Went to watch DW and her work practice for a "Save the TaTas" kickball contest next week. Came home, grilled some beef loin steaks and hot dogs, cut the grass (boys did most of it!), weed eated (spell checker says that isn't a word but we all know it is), sprayed the yard with some bug control stuff, hung up some sconces we had spray painted to match a light fixture in the hallway I installed 2 weeks ago.

Tired but in a good way. Added several more projects to the wish list. The big one is now adding a row of bookcases/odd and ends shelves to the main wall in the master bedroom to make them look like built in shelving. Wall to wall, ceiling to floor. With space for eventually a large screen TV.

My next build will be 2 window seats with storage for the master bedroom. Gonna make them out of oak I think.
Cool, sunny weather makes it a lot more enjoyable, don't it?

Oh yeah. Love the weather right now. Of course, today is a high of 85 but tomorrow the high is only going to be 65.

Allergies don't cause fever. Sorry. Frown

I've got FF4. It's a little different, but I'm getting used to it. They moved the tabs up to the top.

When I do upgrade, I'll be putting them back where I want them [mydigitallife.info]. I've liked almost none of the tab changes they've made over the last few years, so the first thing I always have to do is change everything back after a new install.
I always wait a while after the latest version is final before I upgrade, though.

Cold The glass repair guy is here. (BT & LT cracked some of the panels in our leaded glass door) Kinda creepy... keeps giving me the creepy wink when he talks to me. If you don't hear from me in an hour, send the police! Hide

That's what I figured.
He seems better now. Not in school. I'm going to work late.

I'm like vfrog, I like to wait a while to upgrade.

That's not a wink. It's the brain damage from working with lead.
