Eggs and sausage.

.
.
Not the type in casing, just free ground pork and flavoring.  I am getting better at cooking eggs.  I prefer overeasy or omelets.  I simply don't have the right tools for omelets.  Yet.  Two eggs and a few small patties, no toast, and I was out of coffee so went with water.  Just enough.

My days and nights are getting messed up again.  It's just the way it goes.  I'll try to track what I want to do, like finishing the faucet installation tomorrow, and figuring out what pieces I need to tackled the undersink plumbing while I am at it.  I don't need all new, just a few pieces that are longer, or some sort of odd gap coverage between the main metal drain line and the pvc perhaps.  I suspect, after putting the faucet in, I'll do a lot of work right then, just figuring out what exactly the problem is.  Irritating if I am sure it is fixable.

It looks like I have a lot of projects coming up, and a number of trips.  I am going to have to holler at the old friend to see what is up with his world.  I hadn't thought I'd be going to Burning Man, and he might not have the time or money or inclination.  But if he does, this would be the year to go.  He's a nerd (too, in my opinion).  But he has come a long way.  Actually, most of my friends are, mostly, of that sort.  Almost frustrates me when they don't see me that way.  I suppose there is a sort of difference.  But the notion is sound.  Ah, perhaps that it isn't as much of a limit?  Then again, I'm not half as good at tech either.  More a tinkerer, when I can, than an official or professional tech type.

I am working on upgrading my skills.  Tools are being laid in, learning is happening, mostly just on the practical side... if slowly.  I have put in my first ever toilet, water heater, reverse osmosis, and a few other things, and just in the last few years.  I have learned to patch drywall.  I have learned how to install various products, and make them fit and work.  Oh, the faucet too, and having to fight that tooth and nail to include improvising tools.  I did find the set of screwdrivers I thought would work.  The big one wasn't big enough.  Which means another trip to the hardware store... oh dang.  :)

It does take me a long time to get going, to get to any particular thing, and such.  A little pressure can help a great deal.  Doing things for myself is hit or miss.  I have a house to clean, then a bathroom to put together, and then a kitchen floor to redo, along with some cabinetry work.  Money is always a bit of an issue, but less so these days.  Big projects and trips drain the treasury though.  But that keeps me kicking if I had to guess, or helps.  Later, or perhaps good night.
