We spent Sunday morning the way we usually do - reading the paper and surfing. After that was done, I felt like I needed to do something useful. It was warm (lower 60's), so I went out and removed the old paint and rust from some more of the light pole. I did as much as I could using the step ladder - about 6 feet.
I used the electric drill and the buffer that I had bought by mistake. It worked pretty good, except that the drill didn't really spin fast enough. On the plus side the buffer didn't wear much. One of the grinder buffers would have been just about worn out.
Of course after that I painted the pole. It looks a lot better with that much more painted. It's supposed to be warm tomorrow, so I'll be able to put on the second coat. I've got an idea for bungee cording the extension ladder to the pole. Hopefully that will let me do the rest without killing myself.
After that I went inside and watched football. The Cowboys blew a 23-3 halftime lead against the Packers. I was happy. Ellen used the new pizza cooker in the Traeger. It worked pretty well. At least the thing wasn't burnt to a crisp.
