We’re playing with power tools today at Chez Journey. And I’m not just talking Vacuum Cleaners.
Pictures later.
In the meantime, enjoy an oldie. (I wish I could have found Ann Reed’s “Power Tools” but she’s not on the YouTube. *sigh*) (it’s a different song than this one.) (although this one has it’s, uh, charms.)

Turns out the lovely color (Eve Green….I know. The name doesn’t do it justice) that I picked for the dining room, thanks to my friend BP, needs to have a "deep tint" primer.

Sat. morning trip to home depot: replacement chain switch for the light in the ceiling fan, faucet repair kit and a light fixture for over the [...]
The next battle begins next week.

Do you know the Kliban Cats? If not, you’re probably not old. Like me.
Back in the late 70’s the strip ran in the local paper and I sort of fell for it. It had the same tone and flavor as The Far Side but with cats. It also was a little cute in the way [...]
