This was the first quiet day we've had in awhile. Catalina (our newborn daughter) has a terrific allergy to what we think is cow's milk (we're still pinning it down) so we haven't gotten much sleep lately as she has been very uncomfortable. After changing her diet- I'm hoping it's clearing out (touch wood). Anyhoo, up early, toast and coffee for breakfast. It snowed and rained last night so I cleared the walkway of that heavy, heavy crap. Lounged. Lounged again because I'm a scientist and feel that experiments have to be reproducible. Then I converted some old film (8 mm) of my family from the 1950's and 60's into a DVD, so my mom and brother can have a good laugh at ourselves (My brother and I were very young...I think he had ADD from looking at the tapes). It was nice to see my Dad and Grand-dad again- they have both passed away several years ago. Lounged a bit more. Catalina was very quiet and sleeping all day- as long as she was being held. So I held Cat and lounged some more just in case. Read some Jim Thomson, because that much good stuff should be counterbalanced by some evil. Did a few diaper changes so that end should be taken care of (no pun intended). Listened to a bunch of music- including Commander Cody (on vinyl). Then I finished off the day by putting the chassis and output transformers on my soon-to-be-new EL-34 PP valve amplifier and soldered in a couple easy wires. I'll take care of a few more later. Then I logged on here. Now it's time for bed and a bit of lounging after that stressfull day so I'm having a wee dram of Lagavulin.
