The spouse leaves Lowes with some baseboards and some primer Sunday morning. We bought two 12 foot boards which the Lowes saw guy cut into four 6 footers… That is the only way I could fit them in the GTI/ We wrapped them in a sheet and stuffed them in the back hatch up to the front seat. They are pre-primed and the first time I bought some the white got all over the car. This time we didn’t get any of the white inside. The utility room and basement look so much better with baseboards. We got used to living without them over the last two or three years, but now were about sixty percent finished with the baseboards.

Here are some of the tools on my desk that I used on a daily basis. The apple is a recent thing for me. I am trying to eat healthy things more often. When I get back from the gym at 1400hrs I am usually hungry. The apple really does the trick and gives me a little energy until I eat again at home.

This is the file I am currently going through and drafting a report for a claim review that is coming up early next week. It’s a big one that involves a dude who had his leg crushed in a foam compressing machine. Ouch! We are heading toward trial in the next few weeks and it does not look like it’ll settle prior to that unless the defendant gets real about their exposure. We are a third-party defendant, sued by the defendant, not the plaintiff. We didn’t do anything wrong to cause the accident but can’t get out and keep racking up defense costs.

This is some of the scuffing damage to my fender from the hit and run dude. I dropped the car at the shop yesterday afternoon and they promise to do an excellent job. I hope they do as I will be expecting perfection. I shall pick it up Thursday evening if all goes well.

I picked up a Ford Focus rental car at the shop and this is the dash setup while sitting in the commuter lot. It’s OK. It has poor cornering and a loud lumbering four cylinder engine which will get me by. It is not nearly as comfortable either. I got used to the nice high sided seats in the GTI and also Satellite Radio. I am stuck with FM in Hartford which is just about as close to hell as you can image. We have crap radio here. Major crap. Only now and then can we find a college radio station playing a block of decent music. I must prefer the radio in Boston where we lived prior to coming to New Britain.

This is the sunrise in the rear view mirror at the commuter lot at 0615. I went to vote first thing in the morning and parked this temporary car in the church parking lot and went inside. There were about thirty people waiting for the doors to open. This is about four or five time the normal amount at this hour.
