A... good little bit.

.
.
Cooked burger, then used some to make a spaghetti and meat sauce.  The shirataki noodles worked.  It was a decent meal.  Then I boiled eggs, got those cracked.  A few other odds and ends.  But then help arrived, and it was to working on the bathroom.

We got the vanity out.  Which ended up being a bit of work.  Then, the flooring, old mirror, and old toilet out.  I have never been to a dump, proper.  Oh, my, what a treat.  Though, I must admit, going to such a place is something every consumer should be required to do.  Just to understand where that thing you toss may well go.  It's a bit of a horror.  Still, civilization would be difficult without them.  Not even a necessary evil.  Just... a reality.

Then in to have a meal.  Then to the hardware store.  A few things needed, wanted.  Some tools, soil to replant and maybe transplant some of my plant.  I've had it pretty much since I moved into the house.  I bought two, but I think Sam dug into one, and kept doing it, until that one died.  I'm hoping to turn this one plant into two, or three.

But, this, and that, and some other things.  A new flag, for in the front of the house.  And a flag for a friend.  Their flag is a bit beaten.  Nice to do a good turn, from time to time.

Then, we went to his fathers shop.  Worked on the carburetor for a post hole digger.  Yes, I got in and did some of it.  It ended up being a lot less trauma than I anticipated.  The last time I tried my hand on a carb, I got eaten, spit out, with nary of thangs.  Just... replaced the unit.  Was told it would tricky.  It was.  Too tricky.  Could not get the thing to work.  The shop wouldn't do it, they were notorious.

Anyway, this one was easy.  A few new fuel lines (may have been half the problem).  And just taking it apart and cleaning the parts.  Tried to put a new fuel bulb in, but the small one fit but didn't seat, the middle one was too big.  The old one still worked, so that was just put back in.  Bah!

When finished, after a start or two, it worked like a top.  I haven't had grease or oil on my hands in a long time.  All good.

Though I'll tell you, I am absolutely exhausted.  Been up since around midnight.  So, I've been up eighteen hours?  And, did a small bit of work.  Not the heaviest of things, but... okay.  a light to middling run at the show.  And a long time up.  I did get a shower in, trimmed the whiskers, brushed the teeth.  I'll hit them again, the teeth, before bedtime.  But... it's pretty much bedtime.

Raining, got cool.  But still... very nice in most ways.  Spring is definitely leaning in, finally.  All good.  Oh, and was able, after trying for days, to call my mother today.  She's... getting a bit confused.  Getting older is difficult.  Or ill.  I am sure, at times, I seem like that, or worse?  Anyway... we spoke.  Good night.
