rebeccmeisterJust trying to remember how the day went, photos to follow later.
- Made a scale drawing of one of the oarlocks and sent it over so S can get steel backing plates fabricated by someone who knows what they're doing instead of me continuing to destroy drill bits and my sanity
- The usual Sunday morning chores (laundry, breakfast baking, litterboxes, vacuuming, bathroom)
- Finished mending the wool CRAP jersey, for now (not sure I've completely cleared out a moth infestation yet, sigh)
- Glued more rare earth magnets onto rowing award plaques, trying to figure out how many are needed per plaque. I am really looking forward to eventually having that project moved out of the house permanently.
- Put new elastic in one pannier cover. Restitched another pannier cover and modified it to remove an excess buckle and add a drain hole, apparently needed. Both of these pannier covers are imperfect, but they're what I have at the moment and will work better now.
- Replaced both sets of broken buckles on the backpack pannier - I also learned that it looks like my sewing machine can't quite handle 3+ layers of webbing at once, can't say I blame it!! Now I know.
- Keychain repair experiment.
- Another coat of paint on the oars on the porch.
- Trying a different epoxy approach on the oars in the basement: first, filler epoxy using wood flour; then a second surface coat. We'll see...
Things I didn't do (yet):
- Put fresh brake pads on Frodo - will tackle that tomorrow morning before I leave for work.
- Further mending - best to just pace myself anyway.
- Assorted bureaucratic nonsense. Will get to that shortly.
It felt pretty good to manage to get the sewing machine set up for a bit of sewing. It's kind of a production to get it all set up with the way my space is currently configured, but good to have a sense of what that entails.
