KT and the kids are up in Omaha with Grandma Sarah, leaving me to a day of productive toil. The day started with a quick run followed my some lawn mowing. Then inside to install quarter-round in my bedroom so that the spiders have a harder time backpacking from the basement to my bedroom. Once the cursing and installation was complete I had a quick lunch and clean up and then cracked open the La Pavoni Europiccola that I picked up off of ebay. That machine had seen better days so between soaking components and gasket replacement I worked on it for about five hours. Then, had some ill-advised evening shots to test function. All systems are go and don’t be surprised if I pop back up here later in case I can’t fall to sleep.
