Busy to do list

Heading out when aikidomayland gets back from the tool engineering place (getting a tapering drill bit),  to check out replacement stove tops.  The one we have won't even boil water anymore (after a pot of water sat there for 45 min on high, I could put my hand and arm into it.  I've had baths warmer than that).  Want to check prices and see how much fitting needs to be done.

Then,  off to dance class.  Must work on some music for upcoming performance.

After class, _meegan and I have to do some shopping to get her mom some housewarming presents. :)  Also, have to pick up a decent pruning saw

Come home, and trim and hack the branches of the jacarandia and wattle tree back, so I have clear easterly view from the top of the driveway. 

aikidomayland and spawn have learned to not say I don't work.  I might not go to an office, or a 9 to 5 place, but I do work. 

Just hoping tonight, I get to play a bit.  (looks wistfully at the astro-camera)

(no subject)

Welp, one and half of the to do list done.

Went to 4 appliance stores, and got prices and specs on the same stove top.  Settled on one, bought it and brought it home.  Have to arrange for an electrician to install it.  I could do it if I was in the US, but the color coding for the wiring is different here so I will let a professional do it.

Clipped back a few of the offending in the way branches.  Brought some of them in for the 'keets to gnaw the flowers.  Finally have a use for that vase that has been sitting around gathering dust. Still need to get pruning saw though.

My first attempts

Not too bad either

( My first run with with camera and telescope. )
