I have to agree with other commenters on how productive your day sounds. I’m in awe at how early you can pull yourself out of bed, I am not a morning person. Which of course is compounded by staying up late to madly scramble about trying to get things done. Thank you for the lovely peek in to your life

The first moment i thought you were describing my mornings. That’s how I feel – every morning before breakfast.
Have a nice day.

holy crap….i’d like to be a fly on the wall sometime! I think you get more done on a unproductive day than I do in a month. WOW!

And MY day is always better when YOUR day includes some blogging.

Go and buy a Senseo Coffeemaker – it takes 40sec. to get the water to boil and 20sec. more to fill your mug with a single serving of REALLY fresh coffee (40sec. for a double, either in 2 cups or one large mug).
And every cup is made fresh and delicious..
It’s my lifesaver every morning – I can do nothing BEFORE coffee’s ready…(but there were some comments from friends who visited the US and told us about the very different taste of european and US coffee…*ggg*)

And…what about “shaking the mouse so the monitor comes on” – don’t you shut down the ‘puter at night?
Completely separated from the grid?

I suppose Europeans are much more trained to save electric (and other) energy/fuel than US-citizens – here it’s even common to unplug every device after using them to avoid a stand-by-mode which consumes a lot of energy….
(yes, we’re a bit different – no wonder at a gallon of gas for today about 4.50� = 6.80$…here the main part of the gas price is 85% taxes…)

Super entry, but I just got a drum carder (Strauch Petite) and saw you reference “…the final finishing and sizing pass which makes the batts come out more or less even in size across the entire batch. ”

What’s that all about?

I am so glad you told us what music you were listening to because that’s the first question that popped into my head! I’ve been listening to Metallica – 45 minutes a day, 4 days a week, on the elliptical. I bet Judas Priest would be good then too.

I�m coming to grips with the idea that sandal season may genuinely be over.

I always like to know that there are other people in the world who cling onto their sandals for as long as humanly possible each autumn.

Your days sound like mine. And they’re almost exactly the same length, although I’m in a different time zone, so shifted by an hour or so. Without any official daylight-weirding-out adjustments as happen spring and fall, and except for interacting with the rest of the world I try to ignore them.

Just to screw things over royally, this year the change from daylight to std time will happen during SOAR. I wonder how many of us will miss our planes because of it.
