A wonderful day...

I sit basking in the glow of my citronella candle as the last pink of day turns to gray. Relaxed. Sated.

Today was a study in contrasts–my relaxation now versus me taking a DeWalt cordless drill to the remains of my powerbook as I salvaged the Hard Drive. Bella wanted the pictures off it. I got through 16 little screws, but the final two holding the hard drive to the case itself stripped out. I was a little frustrated and thought “Well, if this were a car, I’d just grab a metal bit and drill-out the screws.”

Turns out, this is a perfectly serviceable option for laptops, too.

Later, we washed both cars and gave the Bimmer a nice-smelling coat of carnuba. Noticed more nicks-and-scratches than when I bought it a few months ago. Must….get…touchup…paint!!

Kinda wish today wouldn’t end, as up-and-down as it’s been.
