We spent New Year’s day quietly. I did some more work on a responsive MRS site and attempted a home improvement project which will be more difficult than I thought.
I wanted to insulate the old hatch to the attic but didn’t realize that there was plywood partly nailed over it. Actually, two pieces of plywood. So it’s a project.
It’s probably a stupid idea to start with, which only occurred to me after we bought the materials, since we don’t have need of the hatch and could just close it off. Duh.
I hate working with insulation.
This morning, my truck made a horrible grinding sound when I tried to start it. I called AAA and turns out, the person who came out to help is a long-term friend of our neighbor Scott. Unlike Ron, who offered his usual asshole comments (“I’ve only had a donut since I got up.”) while engrossed in a cartoon on Facebook, the AAA guy had good advice, which I will follow.
I borrowed Ron’s van and got the fasting blood work out of the way this morning. Mashpee C-Lab was almost empty, a miracle on a Saturday. Brought James to work and did a light shop at S&S.
