Opening one of the boxes:
Saturday morning:
By the afternoon, all the snow here had melted.
Partway through assembly of the first rowing unit:
The second one took about a third as long to assemble.
Testing it out with my oars:
Ready to row!
Well, almost. I can't get the oarlock pitch set correctly until the units are in the boat. Also, my living room isn't big enough to actually row in. I also still need to drill the holes to fasten the units into the boat.
And it will probably be next weekend before I have enough of a window of time to work on these things.
Very pleasing new cover:

Today was a less exciting day. I ran out of time for vacuuming last weekend, so today's vacuuming was extra thorough. There was also a whole lot of putting things back away today. Plus a minor bike basket repair. Some grading. Got my taxes filed, finally (HATE doing that at the last minute but spring is tough). Pulled most of the vines off the sides of the house. There are a lot of gardening projects that I'd like to work on.
Cooking-wise, I am trying to go through some of the older foods in the freezers, to use them up since they do not improve with age. So I've been eating a lot of frozen ravioli, and today I also made a peach-raspberry cobbler.
I need to do a lot more grading this week. I'm grateful that I work at a religious school that has a couple extra days off for Easter. More time for me to catch up on grading, and other things.
