Spending today gearing up for a band gig tonight. It looks like tomorrow I get to replace the pump on our swamp cooler, since it died this morning. (Thankfully we also have central refrigerated air. LOML's temperature comfort band is very narrow. At 72º she's "freezing" and by about 75º she's "burning up".
)
Also sometime this weekend I'll be advising and helping my BIL repair a wooden toy box for one set of grandkids. It's an heirloom (originally my mom's older brother's). It's been used for about 4 generations, but my nephew's kids managed to break it. It shows signs of previous repairs by my grandfather, who despite having the tools, was not a good woodworker. I looked at it a while back and suggested the easy fix, which would be to build an all-new lid, but my nephew wants to retain as much of the old and busted wood for sentimental reasons. (More like mental reasons, but whatever, lol.) So instead of making something that looks nice, it'll look like another cobbled-together repair job with worn-out wood and far too much wood filler.
And of course this is another Formula 1 weekend, so I'll be watching the practice sessions, qualifying, and the race as time permits. Gotta see if Max Verstappen can get his record-breaking 10th win in a row this weekend. He's won 11 of the 13 races so far this season, with 9 of them in a row. Nobody has ever won 10 races in a row in Formula 1.
