What did they break now?

The Aldabran shed is divided with the YF inhabiting a small section of it. The length is 7' and there is no way to anchor a wall in the middle, so it's a 7' long wall made out of plywood and anchored at either end to the width walls. Over time, while snuggling up to the wall at night to sleep, they have pushed the plywood in and it was in danger of coming down altogether. So blocked everyone out of the shed, tore down all the interior walls and shelves and fixed it. I put up a 2x6, horizontally because I thought it would be stronger that orientation, between the two end walls at about the height of the 'pushing' part of the Aldabran's shells. Then anchored the plywood wall to that. It's still a little flimsy down at floor level, but I'm pretty sure most of the pushing happens up where I put the board across.

It's ok, I was just going to ignore it. Why up so early?
This year, Chinese Lunars New Year day are bit early, it is on the 28th of Jan. So most of the company will have year end party in the first couple weeks of Jan. So I need to go back Asia to attend some parties.

I'm scheduled coming back home on 26th.

@Jacqui : He must really be tired, huh? I guess we may never know why he got up so early! :rolleyes:

It's 52 and sunny here in Eugene, OR. I've got a few tortoises out on the front lawn. As soon as I set them down they started chowing down.

Enjoy it while you can. I see frosty nights in your future.

Not any more. That was a very long time ago. I lived in the Marina District. I'm still in California but farther south and less urban.

My childhood was spent across from the Cow Palace. I watched them build Candlestick, and now I've watched them tear it down. Sad

To answer your qustion Jacqui...I had a super time. Except for the way Amtrak runs is a crime. 3 hours late. I was suppossed to come back on the 26th at 9 pm, but the train was late so they didn't want to honor my ticket because it was for the 26th and because it was so late it was now the 27th making my ticket no good. Then I got it all fixed and again no red cap so while hobbling for the train I fell. Was picked up into the air by a homeless black guy. He said hold on and he ran for the train, practicaly throwing me on to the now rolling train. Then the conductor yanked the homeless guy on, (no ticket) but he got a free ride to Chico.
It made me homesick for Fresberg. I'd like to be closer to my family and I have nothing here. But I don't see a way.My son and I had a great time. It was all good
