–Soaked the new Osprey pack in a bucket of water with a little Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap added. Apparently not enough peppermint; still seems to smell of aftershave.

–Grouted Kenny’s broken up tiles into the new bird bath base.

–Got the new Olympia Maximatic running. Turns out it’s another near-NOS machine. I didn’t have to do anything except add water and turn it on. Made a fine latte.

–Picked up a titanium Yeti at UPS. Fine, a little boring.

–Stopped at Bel Air for turkey burger patties, corn and milk. Barbecue for dinner—good stuff.
