We woke up about 8, but stayed in bed until 9. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. After that it was a little surfing before I went out to the trailer to finish the fireplace work.
I took the drawer out again so that I could clamp the doors to the trim. That allowed me to position them to within 1/16 of an inch of optimal. Then I had Ellen come out to make sure she approved.
Attaching the doors went well. I took it slow though to make sure they came out perfect. Attaching the latches didn't go well. The cheap Chinese screws that came with the latches kept breaking as I was screwing them in. I spent quite a bit of time sorting through my screw collection for better ones that matched the latches.
I finally got the latches attached. Then I did the cleanup. First it was vacuuming. Then it was 3 or 4 loads of tools to take back to the garage. I'm actually going to be glad to have them all back where they belong.
By then it was almost lunch (HEB salad). After that it was some surfing until the boredom set in. We are now officially into avoid the public mode. No more eating out and going out only when necessary. There's not a lot of hard data yet, but it seems that the Chinese flu is pretty dangerous to old people like us. Lee even called yesterday to see how we were doing.
I decided to build the big Lego crane I bought last year (2600 pieces). It took me over two hours just to sort the fraction of the pieces I needed to build the first section. Then I spent another couple of hours putting it together. I got maybe halfway through the first section. The thing is huge, at least 18" long.
Ellen fixed steak and potatoes for dinner. Eating at home isn't that bad.
After dinner was surfing while Ellen watched chick flicks.
