Dreamt of pandemic teaching

[infryq]

Yesterday morning I made another batch of nut and seed bars, diced and roasted the last of last week’s apples, and submitted the nuts.com order. Lunch, then we did the laundry and hung it out on the line, did the crossword, then I dumped ~a dozen bags of leaves on the paths in the garden.

More fun with the White: next in the knee lever/speed controller is affixing a spur gear to the speed controller shaft. I decided to pare down some of the epoxy so there would be a flat surface for the gear to sit against, but in the process wound up unseating the shaft. I took advantage of the opportunity to fix the bad concentricity, which required boring out the hole closer to center, putting the shaft back in, shoving in some epoxy shavings to help fill the gaps, then super gluing. I’m still deciding whether to pin the thing in place. It’s a good idea but I’m not sure how accurate I’ll be able to be without a press.

Snack and more Protector. Overdid the snack :( and wound up nauseated more of the rest of the afternoon. Put off dinner until 6:30, then just bailed on the whole idea and had some apple chips. Protector, early bedtime. Feeling alright now. Probably time to actually switch my meds dosage.

Finished Rocannon and started Planet of Exile, which I found harder to stay focused on at first but is now hitting a groove. Remarkably matter-of-fact about homosexuality for 1966.
