The boss must be out of town, 'cause there's not much getting gotten to these days. I hunted down some metric screws to use as replacements for all the many original bunged up phillips head screws securing much of the 2 cylinder Honda motor bike engine. The little hardware store I went to is replacing their Christmas stuff with racks of seeds for spring. Really.

     I fixed the knob on the lid of my coffee pot. The one that I bought on my solo(...well Petra came along) canoe trip a couple years back, exploring the Adirondacks. The hole was always too big so it has never stayed in. I drilled holes in the knob/pull and put a stainless steel cotter pin through. maybe I can find some pictures of the trip...to help put down any cabin fever taking hold.

    The great thing about cold weather, if you have a big pot of soup but no fridge space you can just store it out on the porch bench.
