I had the worst cat door installation ever. The back door is probably 95 years old and totally askew, so much so that a wedge has been added to the top that's easily over an inch thick towards the handle end. Everything that could go wrong with a cat door installation went wrong, but after several hours and a lot of ingenuity with my impotent tool kit, the job is done. If the landlords complain about the cat door, we'll just buy a new door and they'll be overjoyed (the previous tenants removed some pet stains from a new rug leaving big old bleach stains, so we're not overly worried about our pet deposit).
Walked down to the mall today. It's a short pleasant walk. Checked in on an old deadhead friend who opened a tiedye shop down there, then went by one of the two decent bookstores where another old friend still works but missed her. There are no decent bookstores in Tri-City at all anymore. Gotta cross Dumbo to get to Kepler's.
Went out for sushi tonight with the family of one of T's friends who's grandpa is a former bodysurfing champ and owns a house nearby. I've eaten way too much this weekend - and drank a lot of beer every night. :drinkers: The Cruz has made for a great 1st weekend. We all must be on the other side tomorrow, so we'll leave the cat at the Beach Bungalow and make for the abandoned Castle MacBeth for the week. Still a few things to sort out there. But I can hardly wait to return.
Just a few more odds and ends to hang on the walls - the streamlined altar, a sword rack, the Buddha hand mirror and the hands light, the Marley collection.
