My weekend was filled with moving activities, paying back a cup of borrowed karma by helping Kristpn and Leila move down the street. The most entertaining part involved a testosterone-laden trip to the Home Depot for futon parts. As places like that rarely if ever have exactly what one needs to reassemble furniture, I got to use my engineering skills to replace a load bearing piece of plastic with a cleverly crafted stack of washers held together by a bolt. I was quite proud of myself. Their new place has a front porch that is remarkably comfortable for sitting and relaxing, not to mention firework watching and pizza eating. The 4th of whatever month this is was spent doing just that.
