Hello!  We're having a rainy day today.  Yuk.  But It was a beautiful weekend so I can't complain.  What did I do this weekend?  Cara was away with her college friends...I was flying solo...things usually get a little crazy when I'm alone.  How crazy?
Barrel of cheese balls crazy!  Being alone reminded me of my loser days in Hoboken.  Yuk.

After some cheese balls I did make myself useful.  About two years ago Cara ask me to put some shelves in her closet.  There was only one shelf in there.  I took a look at the project back then and decided it was a little beyond my skill set.  After reassessing the situation I decided to give it a shot.  I bought wood at Home Depot, got home and started cutting with my manual saw.  I gave up after about five minutes.  It was looking a little amateurish.  Then I drove to Sears and bought their cheapest jigsaw.  Eureka!  I was back in business.  I worked on the shelves until 9:30 PM.  The next morning, in the light of day, I checked out my work.  The shelves looked uneven!  The original shelf wasn't level and I was measuring from the bottom of the wall.  I was going to leave it but decided that wouldn't fly.  I readjusted the shelves so they looked even...even though I don't believe they truly are.  I'm no carpenter.

Long story short, Cara loves the shelves, they look even and I burned some calories!

Have a nice day.

PS If you'd like to buy a slightly used, low end, jigsaw drop me a line.  ha ha.
