note to self

well today i got to play 1950's housewife, doing dishes, a load of laundry, taking out the trash, cleaning the apartment, replacing the muffler, replacing the spark plugs, cleaning the airfilter, taking jess out for ice cream, going to the bank, going to the autoparts store, going to walmart, going shopping, but i failed when it came to the bright idea of washing the (rechargable and replaceable) airfilter out in the bathtub. seemed like an excellent idea, no chance of getting crap in the kitchen sink or on the dishes next to it, but i failed to realize that i was washing oil out of the airfilter with a solvent. and now that oil and crap has worked its way into the old fibers of the tub. and now the tub looks like poo. so i have to wait for the darn thing to dry out (airfilter) and then reoil it, put it in the car, and drive to walmart to get something with which to clean the tub. ug.

Well, I don't recall that 1950's housewives changed sparkplugs, oil and air filters and such but by gosh it sounds like you had an incredibly productive day..... and got to do art stuff too. Dang!

Bet the tub's not been so clean in years :-)

Note: all this happened while Jess slaved away watching fish mate and wanting to run through the building screaming "Why?? For the love of sanity!! Why??"

watching fish mate is far more boring than the day i had. think: only 3 more weeks of little fishies mating. then we go home!
