That sounds like an awful lot of work! Glad you're having fun, though.

I'm a fan of Braeburns, myself.

I seem to be either working or helping people move out/move in, or helping people fix things they can't fix themselves lately. I took yesterday off as a mental health day and didn't tell anyone and stayed home and was a total hermit. Spent the day playing Assassin's Creed, cleaning the kitchen (it was bugging me), walking in the woods with the dog, and surfing the web. Today, I've been doing chores at home that I haven't had time to do since before I went to Kentucky at the beginning of the month.

Christian Bale is my favorite Batman, too.

I'm hoping I can fix the futon either today or tomorrow. It's a cheaply-made one that was masquerading as a quality piece of furniture. It has finger joins (think nested "W"s) and cheap glue and started coming apart and then split. I'm going to glue it, clamp it while the glue is drying, drill some pilot holes for either wood screws (or drill all the way through for small carriage bolts, if there's room), and I have a strip of metal that I'll also drill holes in to match the ones I drill in the futon frame for added support. If it works, awesome! Saved myself a ton of money. If it doesn't, no worse off than I am at the moment and I'll start putting away a little each week to buy a solid wood futon frame from a different furniture store.

And it was on sale!!!

I'm glad the bird you helped will be OK. We sent one up to the bird rehab center last fall and they had to euthanize it because it broke its elbow .

I'll go check out your review.

Duct tape will fix just about anything. We once reattached a bumper with it when I was in high school.

The mosquitoes are a bit frisky, we get the regular ones, plus the salt marsh ones. The salt marsh ones are huge and really loud. Luckily, I have some pretty good repellent (DEET-free, I'm allergic to DEET) and they don't really bother me that much most of the time anyway. It's a huge plus working on the coast, the sea breeze kicks in around 2 PM just about every day and is usually stiff enough to keep them away.

I'll keep an eye out for it next time I go game shopping. I need something that I can play when I have to give people breaks in the entrance booth at work that I can put down and pick back up again without having to wonder just what the heck I was doing.

I miss my futon being a functional futon and not a platform on the floor. Reading, gaming, and watching TV all need back support to be comfortable.
