I&#8217;ve been wanting to try my hand at making stained glass  &#8211; the real kind with solder and extream heat &#8211; so my planned destination was Home Deport, about 2 or 3 miles from my apartment.<\/p>\n<p>The walk there was mostly unevently, though I did practice my &#8220;folding in the air&#8221; origami technique and built a couple of models while I was walking.  I think I overextended myself as my hands got a little shaky, but I made it to HD with no trouble.    I found the soldering iron, the solder, and the flux all in one section and did the self checkout.    Borders is right across the parking lot, but I wasn&#8217;t sure what to do with my current purchases.   So, the solder and flux went into my pockets and the iron got tucked into the back of my pants. <\/p>\n<p>I was looking for The Ring Two at borders, but they didn&#8217;t have it yet.   So, I got a magazine and a book on how to actually make stained glass (who would have guessed?  I bought instructions.) and then trucked over to Wendy&#8217;s for dinner.   I got it to go, but figured the sandwich would be tough to eat on the fly &#8211; or on the walk, as the case may be.  So, I stopped again at home depot and ate my dinner on the grass behind the sample buildings.   It was peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>The walk home was fine &#8211; though I wasn&#8217;t able to fold as easily since I had the bag of stuff with me.  And it mostly worked &#8211; I was tired and less cranky when I got home, though I&#8217;m still about 15% more cranky than usual. <\/p>\n<p>Got me thinking a little about my internal walls &#8211; and I do have more than my share of them.  I&#8217;ve got some ideas about my internal bricklayer, but I think I&#8217;ll hold off on that topic for today.  Too much to do here at work today to spend more time in the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Later&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-112498003961110033?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was feeling peckish yesterday when I got home from work, so I decided to take myself for a walk.
