I went out early this morning for my daily walk(2 miles in the morning)
Temps were high, I was feeling good, gonna get my day started and get busy. Still having problems getting motivated lately(nobody wants to paint an attic and pull down paper and rip carpet)
halfway through my walk, my knee started to bother me, but I finished the walk, and changed into my shop clothes.
I made some shelves for a closet and I needed to iron on the veneer edging.
I started the shelves, piling the finished ones on a 2x5 piece of plywood I had over 2 work horses.
I had set the plywood up because I redid some drawers on my planer cabinet and piled all the mortiser bits, and a ton of assorted hardware item on the temp plywood table until I had nothing to do to sort through it all.
Sure enough when I tossed the last shelf onto the pile,(because I piled them all on the extreme left side of the table) it was like a seesaw and flung all the hardware and bits into the air as the table tilted up and fell down.
Now I had to pick up a million pieces of hardware. Well the good news is my knee pain subsided, since now my back was aching alot more.
Came into the house, wanted to get a bunch of pen blanks and cut them down for tubes.
naturally, I could not find the 7 mm bit, so eventually, I gave up.
Walking out of the garage, I picked up a piece of plywood to toss, and gave myself a dandy splinter, took me 20 minutes to dig it out.
I went into the house, went to get the vacuum to clean the attic bedroom since Ive been doing some clean up, and when I pulled the vacuum out of the hall closet, I knocked the door off its track, and that took me 40 minutes to reset since I wasnt sure what I was doing at first.
so now its 1:50, and I really havent dont anything today I planned on doing.
My son just called, asked me to pick him up(and my niece and friends)at the train station. They all took off work today and went to the Cake Boss bakery(I dont know the name of the place, its in hoboken NJ) in jersey.
Im hoping he makes my day and brought me back something to eat so at least unproductive, Ill still be happy.
