While We're Out About The Town
This tune arrived from a breath exercise, which accounts for its fast BPM and circular nature.
Whistling something short and sweet
Pretty sure I stole this melody. Feel free to tell me what it might be from.
Had this melody stuck in my head most of the day

Did a little rewiring in the basement
Did a bit of rewiring to remove a bypass to an old light socket with exposed live pre-romex wiring. Probably left a few of my own no-nos for future home owners. Forgot to take pictures of the old wiring, but maybe thats for the best, it had been running a freezer for many years. You could just touch it at any time and zap yourself.

Rice with horse radish, two pork chops seasoned with curry powder and cooked with mushrooms in butter and olive oil and topped with cottage cheese and hot sauce. Pretty good after not having eaten all day.
