Quiet day today. Just working in the frameshop listening to the wind winding down. Grey and green. Dismal grey and verdant green outside; I see it through the French doors of my barn.
Waiting for the UPS man, Dave. He’s neat. He’s bringing me a barebones computer today, and all I have to fill in is the memory, drives and operating system. It’s for the kid. It’s taken me so long to fix the old clunker, I bought a new upgraded one instead, and it was cheap. I may even buy another for myself because the deal’s so good.
Antsy to get into it. Need to work with hands instead of mind.
