They kept running out of everything

Yesterday I discovered I’d assembled the prototype gearbox backwards/inside out. I cut out another set of pieces, fixed a misalignment in the plans, drilled holes, and glued it up.

I took out the rags and am both delighted and amused by the results. I don’t think I’ll do it again any time soon, but it was fun to try something different. Photo on Instagram.

I spent the afternoon watching Avatar and hemming. Finished the hem after dinner and crossword, then snack and sleep. Dreamt of getting lost in a maze of freeway interchanges, then of a massive ice cream food court. Best flavor: flax caramel ripple
