Not much to report. It's Superbowl Sunday which means last week was Catholic Schools Week. We had a conference on Friday and we have Monday off because of the game. They started having game day off because school attendance plummeted like a rock on Superbowl day. Most of the kids stay up to watch thee game and that keeps them up all night. So we have no school.

Wakana and I are planning a low budget retrofit for the kitchen. We'll paint the cabinets and put knobs on the doors. She wants me to build an additional cabinet to fit in next to the refrigerator and I want to rip out one set of cabinets and build a set of shelves to replace them. We will do all this over Easter Break when we have ten days off.

A long time ago I looked into getting a turntable that I could use to record my records into digital mode. Back then they were over $400. Recently I looked again and saw they are now around $150. I think I'll get one next payday.

By the way, if any of you are tall and having difficulty finding t-shirts look at Duluth Trading Company. They have a long tail t-shirt in sizes up to 3XL. I've been buying my t-shirts from them and love the shirts. Good tough work shirts. I just ordered some more.

My parents are shipping my little guitar back to me. I left it with them by accident and then told my niece she could use it but her parents were afraid she would break it. So it's coming home.

I've been digging this morning. We need to replace our water line from the meter to the house. I've been digging a trench to get it underground so we don't hit it with the lawn mower. The plumber was supposed to come yesterday but he was sick. There is some kind of flu going around.

About a week and a half ago we came home to find Neko with a huge gash in her side. We rushed her off to the vet and then when she got home we had to keep her inside for a week. Then, a few days ago Wakana began to worry about Mama Kitty. She was listless and didn't follow her around. She took her to the vet and they found an abscess in her butt. Now she is confined to the house. These cats are expensive.

I guess I better get back to work. I need to fix my folding workbench and then build some sawhorses to get ready for Easter break. I also need to repair the silverware drawer and get ready to build some bookshelves for Wakana's books.
