I'll be a voluntary bachelor for several days starting Sunday—my wife and children are taking a holiday to Alabama to see my father-in-law and his wife. Should be fun and I'll join them in Birmingham on Saturday.
The question, though, is what to do with "all the free time"? That phrase has quotes around it because I doubt I'll have all that much extra time. I'll still be going to work and there are some obligations already planned:
- Sunday
- Church in the morning
- Sledding with Pack 4 at 2pm
- Steelers game at 6-something (probably skip; gain 4 hours)
- Monday
- Morning open (6 hours)
- Volunteer at the CABBS booth at the Cleveland Boat Show from noon to 6pm
- Evening free (4 hours)
- Tuesday
- Back to work
- Work the CABBS booth at the Cleveland Boat Show from 6pm to 9pm
- Wednesday
- Work in morning and afternoon
- Pack 4 Pack/Den meeting at 7pm
- Recover
- Thursday
- Work in morning and afternoon
- Work the CABBS booth at the Cleveland Boat Show from 6pm to 9pm
- Friday
- Work (from home) in morning and afternoon
- Evening free (4 hours)
- Saturday
- Bus to train
- Train to airport
- Southwest to Birmingham
- Collected by wife and four children
- Drive north
So what would I like to accomplish? Hmmm.......
- Sit with cat on lap
- Complete another cross-stitch (airplane?)
- Varnish cabinet doors
- Finish arranging shop
- Complete top of workbench
- Turn handle for custom screwdriver
- Practice a recipe or two
- Write review on CodeWeavers CrossOver
- Write here a bit more
- Finish a few cleats and a pair of blocks
Update: Oh, and I have need to:
- Do a couple loads of laundry
- Finish the leatherworking on my new Scout belt
- Clear up my office and get 2008 taxes started
- Write some Thank-you notes
- Get my Etsy.com site up
- Organize my new books
Of course, I'll never really get much of that even started.....
