Though, as it turns out, I didn&#8217;t get to that part.  Took me a while to get everything set up in the front of my apartment and just as I was ready to fire up the circular saw and cut my lumber, my neighbors cames out and started talking two doors down from me.   I went back in and started my laundry, then watered my plant, but they were still there.  So, I just picked up the circular saw and turned to them until I got their attention.  I apolgised for the noise in advance and they said it wouldn&#8217;t bother.   10 seconds later they had all gone back into their apartment.   Hey, I warned them.   The sawing when pretty smoothly, but I thought that the sound of one power tool in the evening would be more than enough, so I packed that project up and started on the soldering project while I still had light.  <\/p>\n<p>In between there, I called my mom since I hadn&#8217;t been able to get a hold of her yesterday.  She was happy to hear from me, but couldn&#8217;t talk as they were getting ready for a wedding at the shelter where she has been volunteering.    So, I told her I&#8217;d call her later and I went back to my soldering.   <\/p>\n<p>The new soldering iron I got worked great!   I think I might actually be able to produce something worthwhile &#8211; though I had a little trouble with the outer edges.   Still, not bad for my second attempt.  I worked on that until it got too dark to see, then I went inside to have dinner while everything cooled off enough to put away.<\/p>\n<p>Mom called me back after dinner and said that the wedding went really well &#8211; and all the &#8220;gear&#8221; (dresses, cake, tuxes, etc) had been donated.  So, she was helping get stuff returned &#8211; and apparently trying to chase down the flower girls who were having too much fun.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s doing well, but she&#8217;s tired and ready to come home.  I gues the scheduleing has been weird &#8211; alternatly shorthanded and then overflow.   She sounded like she&#8217;s in good spirits and in her element &#8211; helping people and organizing things.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>After talking to mom, I fired up the playstation and made some progress on castlevania: Lament of Innocence.   For a vampire hunting game, there really aren&#8217;t many vampires so far.  I would have also liked to see more selection in the weapons &#8211; but the whip will just have to do for now.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think it&#8217;s going to be a busy day for me &#8211; better get to it&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-112661265418355779?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick stop at Home depot for wood screws and I was ready to begin my headboard project in earnst.
