Very productive so far this afternoon, which is good because this morning was a complete bust.

Went to the auto parts store and picked up another muffler clamp for the other basket hilt, eight foot of heater hose, new belts for the Nissan (hmm, not supposed to be hard, but looks scary) and an air freshener for the Mustang that looks like something out of Pac-Man. Then, we hit Lowe's for another light fixture for the bedroom, a shop-vac, new vinyl tile for the kitchen, and a couple of paving stones to put the grill on. I should have picked up a new latch for the back screen door, but we were both done with the crowds, so we came home.

Oh, I also put two quarts of oil in the Nissan and it sounds much better now.

I'm probably going to do the light upstairs (quick), then drill the kiln and install the Envirovent. After that, I think I'll see where we're at. I really wanted to install the new ductwork today, but I would need to improvise something for the window vents and I'm not sure I have anything in the house that would work. Similarly, I need to install those new belts in the Nissan, but I'm a little trepidatious at any auto work I haven't done before. If I'm going to do that today, I should probably do it before it gets dark.

I'm a little sore from yesterday, but not completely dysfunctional, which is good.
