More dust blowing around today and yesterday. Working in the rock room with its leaky windows, had to run the dustbuster on the windowsills and nearby objects. Speaking of which, the new one is awful, spewing exhaust out both sides so it's impossible to keep your face out of the exhaust. And they don't supply a crevice tool, you're supposed to buy one for $10, when it probably still costs 50 cents to extrude one, and no there were none at my usual thrift, perhaps everyone is scooping them up after getting rid of all the extra ones from the 90s. AND the wide mouth on the dust buster is just curved enough that it can't clean up corners. Can you say deliberately bad design? Make the product look sleek but not do the job people buy it for?

So at first I was distressed about sand in the door lock, but it basically worked its way down the first day and the lock has been working, but things are not sliding perfectly. I guess a shot of wd-40 is in order?

Made great headway today on getting set up to mount micro and thumbnail minerals in perky and micro boxes. Much organizing got done, and one mini-dresser that used to hold small articles of clothing in storage is now sheltering mounting equipment.
