New Tool

Friday, June 4th, 2004

I decided I needed a new, smaller pneumatic nailer that shoots 18 ga. brads instead of the larger 16 ga. nails that my bigger one uses. This means smaller holes and the ability to work with more delicate pieces. Just picked it up at Home Depot today. Surprise: it was actually Cheaper (after shipping) than HD was after tax. Don’t always think Amazon has the local store beat, and anyway, it’s worth a few bucks for the instant gratification and the easy return.

Hot

Friday, June 4th, 2004

It’s hot. Hot hot hot. It’s “don’t touch anything in the car until the A/C has been on for a while” hot. Hot enough that you feel like a slug and just want to bask in the miracle that is ceiling fans. So hot you travel with your own cloud of stickiness, ala Pigpen from the Peanuts.
Almost as hot as this. Bleah. Get me to Colorado, pleeeeze!
