It’s been a nice Saturday so far, but thunderstorms are forecast for this evening. Tomorrow is supposed to be the Bow Cyclists Family Ride in the morning and then visiting with Robin and Gilad in the afternoon. So today was the opportunity to get stuff done.
Tammy was cleaning and dusting and putting stuff away, and she and the kids went grocery shopping and suitcase shopping. My giraffe-print suitcase bit the dust on my last trip, with the zipper pulling away from the body. So I am inheriting her zebra-print, and she has a nice purple one for our trip.
I started with mowing the lawn, and I finally put the screen over that bathroom vent on the side of our house. Two years in a row, we’ve had sparrows nest in it. I bought a screen to put over the opening this spring, but I was too late. Next year the birds will have to find a new spot. I also put the roof rack on the Tiguan.
Then I shifted to doing something a little creative. This September, I’m planning on resuming my piano lessons with Piano Marvel. I need to have the computer next to the piano in order to do it, but having the Mac Mini out in the open bugged me last winter.
So, I have built a little shelf under the piano, which gets the computer out of sight and the power brick off the floor.
I’m pretty proud of it. It’s out of the way, and all the cables from the Mac will plug into the sockets you can see right in front of the Mac above.
