I work only half the day, or maybe a little more. Dawn’s at home all day getting the place ready for her parents’ visit and tomorrow’s party. I’m hoping to dash just after noon, but then Arthinia needs to finish entering some booth orders so that I can run an exhibitor list for her. I leave sometime around one-thirty.

I get home and work through my list of chores that Dawn has thoughtfully drawn up for me. The biggest is cleaning off the workbench, and then moving it to the center of the workshop/dining room so that we can use it as a buffet table for the party. Man, it’s really heavy. I originally built it so as to be portable, too, is the thing. So as to be able to dis-assemble it for storage and to re-assemble it as needed. But that was before we decided to turn the dining room into the workshop. Before I added the hardboard back to lessen the already minor racking of the base assembly.
