Right now our home internet is kind of slow, so I think I'm going to just upload photos when I go into work tomorrow. Which is a bit of a shame, but c'est la vie.
Anyway, Flotsam! came to town over the weekend! S met up with me on campus Friday so we could bike up to Erie Canal Lock 2 in Waterford for the Friday night show, which was great fun. The Old Erie Canal Lock 2 was a lovely venue. Saturday evening, we loaded up Petrichor with some cooking supplies and rowed over to a park on the opposite shore in Rensselaer. We weighed anchor, cooked up and ate some vegetarian reubens, and enjoyed the whole show a second time from a new vantage point. The boating part was really fun.
In the meantime, I feel like I'm in the midst of trying to fix a hundred small things. I figured out where my bike light wiring had gotten pinched, and after taping over that spot pretty thoroughly with electrical tape I think I should be okay with that for now.
Today I got out one of those small tubes of epoxy, mixed some up, and put it on a handful of small plastic items that have cracked.
I also made a very simple wooden latch for the catio.
Then I finally got to work dealing with a rusted spot on the car. I only made it partway on that project, because the rust extends further on the car's underbody than I feel like I have the capacity to deal with right now. So that project is looking like it's going to turn into some phone calls to some auto body shops, and several hundreds more dollars gone to car maintenance.
I get that motor vehicles have their conveniences, but I still have to question whether it's worth it in the end.
And now it's just about time to cook dinner. Chili and cheddar biscuits!
