Nothing is working today.

.

I decided to stick with just buying blades, and a few minor other things, today.  When I go for the boat cover materials, I'll do that all by itself.  I have drawn out plans, so I have an idea about joints and lengths, though I still need to measure the distance between d-rings and figure some minor things out that way.  I made it to town, a bit later than I had hoped but there isn't a race about that.  I found blades for a number of things, but no wood blades for the hacksaw and no wood cutting rounds for the angle grinder.  Oh well.  I'll check amazon for the bowsaw blades, might not be anything for the angle grinder and good?  Don't know quite yet, but didn't sound promising.

I gave up searching for the larger level.  The smaller worked, with a little improve.  I bought longer screws, but they were Kreg, and pretty much useless potmetal, or just piss poor for whatever reason.  I suppose I might have wood screws around that might work.  I'll have to see.  I'm charging one of the batteries for the cordless drill, to see if that is pansy enough for the Kregs.  If not, I'll check my selection of wood screws, and make due with those.  Bleh.

The lawn is getting mowed.  The lad who does it stopped by to check if it would be good.  He has this and another job this summer.  It sucks to work young, but money is money.  Having a little stashed away for when the world drops out from under you is a good plan.  Hopefully he will find a trade, and get into that rather than waste money on college.  A few years of work, if he decides to go for a lazy job and college, if he goes into the right degree rout that is, will have him ready to focus and learn.  Going straight to college is foolishness.  With a 15% delinquency on student loans, don't even suggest that it's just in my opinion.  What is 15% on a trillion dollars, by the way?  Yeah, and that is the commonly used number, from years ago.  Ten to one that hasn't improved, or even stayed the same.

Yeah, gonna just tinker until the battery is charged, to see if that drill does any better.  Oh, that mean... comes and goes.  But it's arriving more, staying longer.  It's just the way of it when I brush off the civil.  Nothing but wires, bone, teeth, and gnarliness.  It'll do.  It won't be getting better.  On that note, I finally ended my contract with the gym.  Tired of getting my gas stolen and paying for nothing.  Later.
