Time to do some non-werk

Kind of a neat lull period at werk this week. Easter holiday came up rather quickly, and in two weeks, I'm going somewhere tropical. Then, we've got the May-24 weekend. Finally, some down time. I've been saving up vacation time for over a year now.

Getting some painting done finally -- now that the weather is getting nice (on and off) I've been able to prime up some more boards. I've found a new way to reinforce the wood by using mending plates instead of corner brackets. It's cheaper and faster than having to use screws, and the only side-effect is a lot of loud hammering.

Going to bike around today. It's a little cool, but I really miss doing this. Maybe I'll go up to the trails north of KW. Bring my camera along too.
