So now that it started raining, we've finished off a few of the projects started in recent weeks:
1. Nimue's makeover of Fluffy the Pet Rock and her sidekick Fuzz was successful. As pictured above, the pet rocks had their faces painted, and Nimue also glued felt and tiger-striped pompoms onto Fluffy.
2. Chad kegged his beer, and in his words "It tastes like beer." There was some grumbling that it needed more hops (not that I would be able to judge, as I don't drink it), so now there's motivation for the next batch.
3. We had a lovely salad composed of lettuce, peas, and fava beans out of the garden -- the first dish concocted from this particular patch of the yard.
and of course, there is the project created/exacerbated by the rain -- Chad is now industriously searching out the best bearing and tools he needs to fix the horrible squeak that appeared in the front wheel on my good bike after the chilly rain ride a couple of weeks ago. Given the age and mileage on this bike, it probably just wore out due to natural causes, but I can't help but feel at least a little bit guilty about abusing the poor thing in the rain. But hey, a bike is meant to be ridden, right? Plus the family bike mechanic gets to buy a new tool.
