Wouldn't that be fun? Imagine them on a spacewalk, repairing the ISS. "Hand me that wrench, will you?" ;D

After many phonecalls found a hardware shop that was pleasant in dealing with my questions, and that without weird financial requirements. They'll be sending me an email with various options soon, and then I can order without a hassle. And without extra costs. Hurray for them.

First store I called was pleasant enough with their answers. But then they told me that I had to pay €15 at least for an order of a few euros. And it would be a gamble if it would fit neatly.
Other stores acted weird about the measurements I needed. Apparently knowing your data is not enough in a technical world.

What did you do to your finger?

I was working on some set construction at the local community theatre.  I was cutting some plywood on a table saw with the set designer, the wood slipped and in a spazz moment I went to grab the end and my left index finger grazed the blade.  A small laceration, nicked the artery and lost half my nail.  Could have been worse.   8)

Found that the coffee machine is making noises it shouldn't. I'll have to take it apart.

A 120+ year old hatchet at a tag sale for $2  in rough shape but a desirable brand should sell for $25
