Awake: 5:48am Temp 44 sleep 5+42 sunny Overnight @ Littleton, Colorado.

Kathy continues getting things ready for tonight’s dinner @ the condo before driving over there.
Today I start building storage shelves in the recessed area of Katrina’s garage. 1st however, I move many boxes & tubs that Katrina had stacked in the recessed area to give myself more room & a feeling of: “work in progress.” Next, K & I go shopping for supplies: Home Depot, Ace Hardware & Lowes were scrutinized, but Home Depot won out having most of what we think we need for the job @ hand.

(4) Bull nose particle boards (8’ X 15 1/4”), nails & stud finder, (2) (8’ X 1 ½”) wood strips & (60) metal rigid ties.

Our big Suzuki must have shrunk during our shopping spree as the (8 ft) boards wouldn’t fit inside the car for travel. This took some time, but with help from the outside staff using cardboard & string, they affixed the boards on top of the car semi-rigid enough for the (3.5) mile return to the condo.

I could hardly wait to get started but now I ask myself: what have I gotten myself in for? For the next (3) hrs, I measure twice, cut once & actually finish the 1st layer before being notified of wine time. I began feeling a little more comfortable about this project now that my plan of attack seems to be panning out ok. This is my 1st ever storage shelf & my own ideas.

Chianti wine, compliments of Leland; then dinner for (3): Stephanie is still @ work: Spaghetti with Italian sausage, mixed salad, & garlic bread. Steph arrived late but did consume her glass of wine that had her name on it. K & I return to our bus @ 9:45pm.

Late DVR movie: “Over 21” with Irene Dunne, Alexander Knox, Charles Coburn, Jeff Donnell, etc. Zesty comedy of middle-aged Knox trying to survive in officer’s training for WWII service, with help of wife Dunne. 1945. Cute story.

Lights out: 12:52am
