If you're all alone. Pick up the phone. And call... GHOSTBUSTERS!
I wanted to change the oil in the Jeep and mow my lawn last night. It was impressively nice weather for October. I barely accomplished either of those tasks. I managed to destroy the cap for the oil reservoir such that it turns in either direction without actually unscrewing. I wound up using duct tape and a small funnel to put oil down the dip stick tube. Thankfully, the evening wasn't a total loss.
As some of you may know, I had been planning to construct a new, better proton pack for this Halloween. For a number of reasons, I aborted that plan. For conspiracy theorists, I'll point out that I currently do not have all of the critical components to build it. Perhaps my most important goal for the second pack was that it should exceed the first in every way. It should look better, feel better, be stronger, do more. As a hint on the last point, the new one will have a laser in it. But that's for another time.
Anyhow, it had always been my plan to refurbish the old pack before Halloween, in case the new one fell through. Some of the doo-dads on the gun were lose (and in one case upside down). And the mounting point for the "holster" on the pack was loose and needed to be redone so it would consistently support the weight of the gun. As of last night, that is all completed. I should be able to be a little less careful of it now. I've only to get the new suit re-velcroed and add the patches. Before I begin further construction, I'm going to clean out GHBQ. I have a new work bench to put in so I don't have to use a flimsy folding table. I can't wait for Halloween.

Homer: Ooooh, that's bad.
Owner: But it comes with a free Frogurt!
Homer: That's good!
Owner: The Frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: That's bad.
Owner: But you get your choice of topping!
Homer: That's good!
Owner: The toppings contains Potassium Benzoate.
Homer: ...
Owner: That's bad.
