High on Soldering Fumes



The Boy has been in the garage soldering effects pedals (he is building them from scratch) while I am mosaicing. After a day of various errands (lunch, Target, Hobby Lobby, Lumber Liquidators and Best Buy) under a glorious blue autumn sky, we both went to work on our respective projects in the garage. I'd say we were out there around 4 hours or so. Hopefully I didn't suck back too much soldering fumes, because The Boy was all sluggish today, and he felt it was from yesterday's work in the garage. He was dragging and that's a dull way to be on the weekend. Tomorrow The Boy will be gone the majority of the day and probably a good portion of the evening. I feel that I will spend the day doing a mix of catching up DVR shows and mosaicing. Maybe I can call in sick on Monday with a broken back.

Now The Boy, Wikus and I are watching some dumbass movie with the lights off to avoid the trick-or-treaters. Right now a very erect nipple belonging to Nicole Kidman is practically stabbing me in the eyes. Ok, seriously, don't watch "Margot at the Wedding." Wikus thinks that some lame pretentious college student wrote it. Maybe we'll give up and watch "Raising Arizona" instead. We'll see.
