Good morning everyone
It's a really-truly honest-to-Pete Saturday today. The regular drip machine will launch a brew cycle at 0600 EDT for those who aren't up so ridiculously early, but for those who may be there's a bit of fresh French roast in the French press for now, to tide you over until the main pot's ready. (It never seems to fail: if I set the timed brew feature, I inevitably seem to wake up well before the set time.)
It's 49°F and mostly cloudy in Rockville at this ridiculous time of day, may get to 66 with mostly clear skies later on. No rain expected, though there's a trace of damp on the pavement now so something must've fallen in the wee hours.
All the expected parties arrived yesterday as planned so the House of Fun is once again at or above sold-out capacity (though we could still squeeze in a few more if the need arose). This afternoon we're scheduled to go on a "donut tour", whatever that is. Our niece found and arranged it. We'll see, I guess.
I glued up the base of the sewing machine cabinet yesterday, mostly so that I'll have stable dimensions to use when building the doors. That means, I think, that by the end of next week I may be approaching the "finish line" which is to say the point where it'll be time to start applying finish. I won't do that on the main piece of the top, though, until Mrs. Fun has actually selected a machine so that I'll have the dimensions of the plate that fills the gap between the machine and the surrounding desktop when the machine is flush with the surface.
Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them.
