–Took Grace shopping at Smart & Final.
–Learned that Papa Murphy’s Pizza in the Town Center closed today. Things are getting ugly.
Month: November 2022 (Page 1 of 3)
–Set up stereo, without too much hassle. Grace noticed that the stand was loose in places, so I pounded it back into shape.
–Took a shower and shave. New razor from Charcoal Goods was doing really nicely, and then BOOM a huge cut on my upper lip, for no discernible reason. I do not understand it.
–Got some drywall anchors at Home Depot and hung Grace’s towel rack.
–Papa Murphy’s pizza for dinner using Mark Solich’s $50 gift card. HUGE medium pepperoni/mushroom for $6.99. I’ll look again, but I really don’t think this price is on their menu. Maybe I’m special.
–Went to Barnes & Noble for the latest Reacher and Best American Mystery books.
–Moved things around and around in the garage; got nowhere.
–Installed the new TV stand that came today. Kind of a pain, but it seems to work.
–Burger King for lunch, Bel Air for frozen dinners.
–Put folding handlebars on bikes. Seems to work great (haven’t ridden yet. Really opens up that side of the garage.
–Had a nice pseudo-Thanksgiving dinner: ham, yams, cranberry jelly, crescent rolls. Good stuff.
–Went to Lowe’s and got a couple of Kwikset door handles for the patios. Front one went on fine. Back one is a nightmare. Handle is farther back from door edge, so requires longer hardware. I had to leave the original spindle on. Gate is also far from fence, so previous owner (at our request) had kluged up a spacer to make it fit. Spacer is rotten and (perhaps necessarily because of a step in the fence) in two pieces, so I made my own. Too tired to try and fit it up tonight.
–Went to Sprouts for a pumpkin pie (reddit/sacramento recommendation).
–Moved stuff in the garage again.
–Went to Home Depot for door handle (nope) and coax face plate (nope).
–Took a shower and shave.
–Moved stuff around in the garage. Thinking about not using a table for grinder and buffer; they seem to work fine standing free on the bench.
–Papa Murphy’s for dinner.
–Went to Home Depot to look at faucets and door locks.
–Frozen dinners.
