It was a beautiful day today, so I spent about five hours listening the Sox game on the headphones and painting the picket fence in front of my house. It wasn't the first day I worked on it, and I'm still not finished. I need another gallon of paint. Almost there, though. [BTW, it occurs to me that the number of tiny insects forever entombed in still-wet paint wherever paint is drying must be...phenomenal.]

My foot is still oddly numb from squatting all those hours...what a PITA. I honestly didn't think it would take this long. If I did, I might have spent more time trying to work the paint spraying thing I bought - trouble is, I couldn't get the coat right, it uses a lot of paint, and I worried about spraying too much of the vegetation.

Anyway, posting has been light today as a result, although I finally got started on writing that piece I've been trying to get to. That's what I really intended to do today, but I couldn't let my outdoor work go by on a day like this.

Now I'm tiiired (whine, whine, whine), although I can't help but fiddle around with design stuff by playing around with the forum (see the link at the left) which is now laying fallow and unused since Joseph Alexander Norland decided not to do his blogburst anymore. If anyone has a use for it - if you'd like me to set you up with a forum for your use - I'd be happy to listen to ideas.

Maybe I'll relax now by creating yet another page banner for the blog - by now you've probably noticed that they change randomly under the default page style.
