Chicken feather mystery solved (my 2nd floor tenant is a bit strange.)

RioRico · 03-18-2011, 09:04 AM - **1 Like**

Davey's Tree Service is finishing up the last of the limb-trimmings and trunk-truncations for damage from the winter storms. The sounds of their powersaws is fading into the distance; and since the summer crowd of tourists hasn't driven in yet, this is the quiet season along the Russian River. Until May.

Old-timers in Sonoma Cownty still mourn the passing of the Brass Ass Saloon, with branches in Cotati and Montgomery Village, and the annual Ass-To-Ass marathon run between them. The optional Half-Ass one-way run was especially popular, with the last arrival winning a full keg.

A giant squid, a huge white sperm whale and several harpooned Orcas were found beached on the sandbar at the mouth of the Russian River yesterday morning. Tracks detected in the sand indicate at least one peg-legged person left the scene. Sheriff's deputies and auxiliaries conducted a hovel-to-hovel search in the nearby hamlet of Jenner but found nobody unimpaired enough to have walked that far.

Deputies responded to a disturbance at the Pink Elephant Tavern in Monte Rio last night. One man, a drifter swinging a pointed stick and cursing, was taken into custody. His identity is unclear; "Call me ISHMAEL" is all he would say. A public defender has been appointed.

Tweekers up in Gualala are getting real nervous about the incoming clouds of Japanese radiation forecast to arrive soon. Jimmy 'Jawbone' Jissum snarled from between his few remaining teeth, "I gotta get me some of that idiodite sh!t right away! I don' wanna be no f*ckiing mootant!" The vestigial head sprouting from his left-most armpit nodded in agreement.

UFO sightings on Mt. Jackson have diminished in recent weeks.

I wouldn't worry too much about an occasional feather, but if you start finding whole chickens, there may be a problem.

I used to have Super Chicken as my Outlook warning sound. It was difficult to ignore.

Fair part of tomorrow to be spent screwing around: 20 kitchen drawer handles need changing.

Well, that can be not too bad a job if they fit like the old ones.

Sprucing things up?

That would be the idea

Actually, the innards of the desk level cabinets were replaced and the handles now mismatch with the doors of the upper level cabinets so the plan is to take the handles of the old ones and put them on the new drawers and the remaining corner cabin door. Replacing shelves with drawers would seem to make a better use of space and is convenient for finding things at a glance

. The corner cabinet where this could not be applied now has a nifty mechanism that brings out the shelves from the corner with pots and kettles on them for easy access

. Progress

Oh, yeah, I think I know what you're talking about: those are clever.

The dream house will have all kinds of cabinets and shelves and drawers, for someone like me, clutter's pretty inevitable, though a real workshop/darkroom space would help a lot, there.

My screwing-with-things-ness today was limited to those bits of that workstation project I wanted to put in for completeness' sake. I actually resisted a bit of over-building it. Some glue blocks and a couple other pieces added.

Posted those photos, though.

I think I'm starting to feel batter after kind of an extended flareup of symptoms. And it's about time: it'd started making me feel pretty confined, there.

Maybe can get into a couple of other little projects tomorrow, or go *shooting.*
