That's almost too nice to take to the Burn . . . which means it should totally go!

Awesome couch, Captain! And congrats on getting the tickets booked, DaB!

Today was tool-centric. A dead blow hammer (to be used for ziggurat assembly/disassembly as well as general purpose use), and ordered a box of raptor nails for use with one of the CNC tools I'm using to make all the parts.

Received my tarp and bungee balls today. Now I have everything to build my monkey hut. I'll try it sometime this weekend. Pictures will be posted.

Nothing to buy today but breakfast but am going to go and organize the garage again and clear coat the bar front so the paint does not chip off.

Just ordered a simmer mat.. It stands over the gas burner of the camp stove..
So I will be able to simmer things like rice.. The year I have some new enamel cook wear that need a low heat.. Think I'll set up the camp kitchen on the patio and test cook for a week..

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
