Craft project to hang yarn ... FAILED
Both Melen and the lovely Mrs_Bob crochet and they have a couple bins worth of yarn. They asked me to cut some dowels to 16" long so they could slide the yarn onto the dowels. OK that was easy. Now they want me to make a wall mount, to hold the dowels, so that the end of a dowel rod slips into an angled hole. Using a 2' by 4' piece of 3/4" cherry plywood I had leftover from a prior project I figured it would be easy enough. BUT I have no jig of any sort to drill the same angle holes in a pattern across the surface of the plywood. My drill press won't work. My plunge router won't work. No way I can eyeball it to drill something like 60 perfectly aligned holes into the board. So my thinking cap is on.
Internet Grocery Order ... IN PROGRESS
The local grocery store offers a service where you place your order & pay for groceries on the internet, schedule a pick up time, and pull up to a special spot in their lot. Figured we'd give it a try. Ordered some refried beans and tortillas, some chicken livers to make pate', and a handful of other goodies. They have texted me about a half-dozen times now that they needed to substitute items on my order. They give the specific substitute and you can approve it or not. Order is to be available for pick up in a couple hours.
Might use it to keep our pantry stocked so we don't have to dip into the 'survival' food inventory too deeply, just in case this whole situation gets worse.
Walk the dogs ... ???
Roughly 30 degrees and predicted 2" of snow on the way. Not sure we will get the dogs walked today.
Exercise equipment ... ???
YMCA is closed. We have a small Rowing machine. We have a nice elliptical machine. We have a small Stair Stepper machine. Might be time to get all those things set up for use so my body doesn't turn into a pile of blubber from binge watching FRIENDS on the TV.
Gun and Ammo sale ... deal agreed upon, meeting tomorrow.
Some might say its a crazy time to be SELLING guns or ammo but I've started to thin down the herd of safe queens. Not going to end up anywhere near defenseless or without ammo. For the calibers I actually need, I have many many many thousands of rounds. But a N.I.B. Springfield M1A-A1 Scout and a full case of 7.62.51 Mil-Surp ammo is going out tomorrow to one of the local county prosecutors for his private collection.
