Run and tell all of the angels this could take all night.

Yeah, I didn’t write that one.  If you don’t know who did, then you and I appear to have different tastes in music.

No big deal though.  To each his own.

For Cinco de Mayo, I dragged my lazy one out of the bed, put on those blasted bifocals, packed up Junior and went off to Home Depot.

You know why I went there don’t you?

Because it’s Saturday and that’s what you’re supposed to do on a day off.

The way I figure it, the next few Saturdays are going to be pretty busy between an event in Cubeville and the pending graduation of Junior from high school.  What better way to spend the day than to go to your toy store, spend more than you originally planned, and then cap the whole fiesta infused day off by changing out the trim on the door which leads into the garage?

Actually I can think of plenty of things which would top that, but I’m trying to take on an optimistic, “glass is a quarter full” type of attitude here.

The door generally looks like crap, but it’s at least functional.  It’s basically been Faith’s bitch over the years as she has spent several quality hours tearing up the door knob and the trim.  Now that she’s been persuaded (threatened) not to scratch at it anymore, I feel it’s safe to replace the trim now without the risk of have having to do it again anytime soon.  That’s of course based on the fact that I do it right the first time.

*pauses to consider whether it will be done right the first time*

In the process of putting the fix in place, I learned something on that momentous day.  Sometimes you just gotta throw caution to the wind and strip the screw.

Remember that when you have an especially stubborn screw or two when removing a door hinge.  You don’t really want to half ass it on these things.  Otherwise, you’re just puttin’ up ugly.
