And the river don’t sleep when the water runs cold

Shawshank, August 3, 2020August 3, 2020
Good morning, happy Monday everyone! Everyone loves a good Monday, don't they? I'm sitting here enjoying coffee, and waiting for Shady Acres to finally wake up. It's a Provincial holiday here so that means dad is home, and I think he has plans for use to work on the garage today. 

I helped to put that window in yesterday.  I'm not good at this stuff. I have pretty much zero experience with power tools or anything like that. I've never needed to use them. So slowly but surely, I've been using power tools. But I'm really slow with them. Apparently, my dad told my mom “he's having fun, it's nice to work with someone that's willing to learn”.

Wow, he filled that up fast! I helped to build that as well. He always over-engineers his projects. That shelf will never fall down. There's way too many screws for that to break! Same with the shelf in the bathroom that I helped with as well. Solid. Very solid. There's a couple more projects to do today, shouldn't be too hard (famous last words).

The cotton dome has to be rebuilt. There’s two main weaknesses: the feet, and the head. I’ll have to go back to the drawing board to make the upgrade count against a kitten. But when I woke up, Podrick was snuggled against my feet. I could feel a little body…
