• Since the beach day was rained out, today I:

  
  

  
  
  • put up some blinds and found that the directions were suboptimal.  Grrr….  Ask if you want more details.
    
  • installed an outlet box for my range hood.  I cut the main circuit breaker first because while 120V won’t kill you, the resulting fall off a 10′ ladder might.
    
  • filed down a door strike so my bathroom door can close more easily.  I got the idea from a google search on “door won’t close adjust”.
    
  • blend-painted the strip of kitchen wall just above my backsplash, and also painted the window ledge under the blinds.
    
  • sorted my screw collection (how weird is that!) into wood screws and metal screws.  I have too many, so it takes too long to find the screw I need.  No comments, please.
    
  • finally installed my kitchen tool rack above the stove.  Now my tools can rest in peace.  Or maybe it’s me who can rest, knowing that my tools are in their proper places:

  
  

  

  
  

  P.S. The colors are funky because it’s a mix of incandescent and fluorescent lighting.  Digital camera CCD’s can’t handle the mix because they can’t perfectly model the color responsivity of the human eye.  This the metamer problem.
