OMG. The guy read the rules and figured out we’ve been playing Catan Jr. wrong for months. The ships go on the lines, not the dots!

Weird how it’s not that bad the wrong way.

Turn 3, and the guy has three development cards.

From Adam Tooze’s Shutdown:
Working with the property management companies that service China's private apartment complexes, enrolling millions of volunteers from the ranks of the party, they turned each compound into a lockdown zone.

The aim was to find infected people and quarantine them. As a helpful nudge, the authorities in Hangzhou banned pharmacies from selling pain-
killers. This would prevent citizens from self-medicating and force them to seek hospital treatment.
Wow. I did not know about that last measure.

42-minute run, 15 pull-ups.

My legs vaguely hurt this morning, possibly from some weird posture I was in while I was working on the table yesterday. I don’t think the running affected it. I’m not sure what’s going on with my own body.

And I finally got to the grave pond Katt was telling me about. There was a guy sitting on a bench there listening to jams.

Gravwell has a board with a spiral track, but it is a one-dimensional game. You are always moving toward one end or another.

I imagine they made the track a spiral so it would fit on a squarish board, but it would have been amazing if they had made it a straight line on a 6”x48” board.

Thanks to glue and tiny shreds of wood, this table will be level!

I halved the width of this table. If I continue at this rate, it will be 2D after the next time I work on it.

Snapped another screw tonight. I guess I have to be more gentle than I think?

Weird. I always thought these IKEA tables were identical, but one is obviously lighter, thinner, and less finished.

Doh, we accidentally planted sunflowers in addition to wildflowers in our supposed rain garden. I thought they were just another kind of wildflower seed!

Well, at least they’re not perennials.

Well, we completed our six-hour game of Mouse Trap Talisman, which was mostly Talisman, as much as we tried to incorporate the mouse trap. (Games of Talisman are always 5+ hours.)

The guy did not have that high of a Craft, but rolled a 4 in the Mines, then a 1 at the Vampire’s Tower, then a 1 at the Pit Fiends. It was quite the smooth cruise through the inner region.

While that was happening, I tried to Magic Portal to the Plain of Peril, but got sent to the Temple twice. One time I lost two lives. The next time I lost one. It only took two Command spells from the guy to take me out.

I did Mouse Trap him a couple times, though, and he trapped me once.

I finished this piano-top shelf. There’s a lot of dubious stuff in it, but I believe it’s stable.

Should probably stop stalling on getting real clamps.

Our attic is now filled with modern insulation, which we will hopeful not later find out is carcinogenic.
