Yesterday I finished cutting the hole for the speed controller knob, used a file to round it out, and put the two bends in the plate. A dry fit... mostly works? There is some slippage depending on how you hold it, which is very bad, but I’m hoping when everything is bolted together properly that will go away. Tolerances are difficult. Stabbed my thumb a touch with the point of the file. Small adventures.

Received a package from auntie S containing some items from grandma’s apartment and a lovely letter explaining some of the discussions they had about what she wanted done with her things. Got a little weepy, which is probably healthy at this point.

Crossword after lunch, scrabble after dinner. Late game was a struggle for vowels but we did manage to put QUIZ on a triple, which is always fun. SG-1, snack, sleep. Dreamt of helping someone capture their small excitable dog, same with a miniature parrot, rode a paternoster, had a piano lesson, sang along with a small orchestral rehearsal of a medley of Ode to Joy and Pachelbel’s Cannon.

Finished Shield of Dragons, which may have the most abrupt ending yet. Switching to podcasts for a bit.
