This week in review
It has been an interesting week.
I spoke to Matt on Sunday about the comic, and we discussed some ideas about the characters. I've printed out a copy of some scripts to give him tomorrow. I'm anxious to get the comic started, but I'm being patient. I probably will need to wait until the end of July anyway, with all that's going on, but I'm hoping we can get everything ready to launch it then.
On Monday, I decided not to post an entry. I'd posted every single day for a whole month, so I feel I have reached a point where I could write a daily column for some media outlet. But having proven that to myself, having completed the experiment, I decided to not post, just to see what happened, how I felt about it, etc. Looking back over the past month and comparing it with previous months was interesting and informative. I intend to write about that in a separate entry.
Monday evening was a meeting.
Tuesday, I think I spent most of the day working on homework.
Wednesday was a meeting of the Poland team.
Thursday, I helped with some work on someone's house and lined up a job for Friday morning.
Friday, I went out and painted trim in a house that's going on the market soon. I also did some homework and some cleaning in the garage. We got some much-needed rain.
Today, I mowed the lawn and laid about five feet of HO track on the new grid table I finally finished. I think it looks fairly good, especially considering my level of familiarity in working with cork roadbed, and the wiring works well. I did a lot of drilling, soldering, and tinkering as I built and tested this section of the layout. In spite of careful planning and execution, I somehow got off somewhere (probably laid a track straight in practice that was not straight when I measured the layout, and I started from the end opposite where I started measuring), so I had to drill new holes for most of the wiring. Oh, well. You live and learn. Maybe I'll put buildings or something where the old holes are.
I'm making some headway in my research, but mostly, this week has been for other things. Still, I'm doing well in my course. I need to put a move on, though, if I'm going to finish everything by the deadlines.
God bless you all.
