Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Good Day

I got lots done around the house yesterday. It was a good day. I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit in the morning. I was surprised how much of the stuff piled on counter tops was just trash and recycling.

For a while I’ve needed to replace the medicine cabinet in the upstairs bathroom. A hinge broke on the old one and the door wouldn’t close properly. Then the latch broke so that even if I could close the door I wouldn’t be able to re-open it. After driving to Lowes and Home Depot, and seeing an interesting vanity plate along the way, I got a larger cabinet. It ended up being too large (and it was cosmetically damaged), so I took it back and got a cabinet that was nearly identical to the one I was removing. The differences were slight. I think I must’ve gotten the original one at Lowes, but this one from Home Depot. Or else they reconfigured the cabinet in the five or so years it’s been since I got the old one.

OLD
See the broken latch?

NEW
The door closes, so the angle of the mirror is different.

After getting the cabinet in place, I did a little more straightening up. That included watering the plants. Max decided to play in the water saucer. It made a horrible mess, but I let him play a little anyway because I couldn’t believe it.

    And by “differences were slight”, you meant that no one else would even be able to SEE them. Right?

    And I laughed at the vanity plate. Aren’t there rules about what you can and can’t put on those?

      There were a couple states that had the first series of letters come up in their regular issue. A couple residents complained and the entire series had to be recalled. I wanna say one of the states was in Arizona, but I don’t remember.

      I know I’ve said this before, and fairly recently, but this is a my all time favorite vanity plate. I would so love to get one…

    There’s a website called One Sentence Stories (www.onesentence.org) and this was a story form October: “My 8-year-old sister proudly declared that she knows that “WTF” means “Wow, That’s Funny” and has been using it all over the internet.”

    As for Max, maybe he’s got some gold panning skills that are just emerging?

    Based on the paddling ability that Max displayed, I think he is ready to try swimming in your pond. Be sure your camera is on when you put him in the water!

    Hi Max! Just kidding about the swimming. (but it would be funny)

    He’s a hunter-kitty! He’s looking for trout for dinner!
