–Went to the Folsom farmers market for a melon and some tomatoes.
–Helped Kenny check a light bulb on his back patio. None of the three bulbs we tried would light up, so it appeaars to be a deeper problem.
–Went to the new restaurant Bocce in East Sacramento to pick up the Devin Thomas knife from the restaurant owner, Joe Pruner. Knife was better in some ways than anticipated, worse in others, with a “cut” (don’t know how else to describe it) that didn’t come out after some work with Scotchbrite belts, and may be there for good. Also, previous sharpening (by a blacksmith I’m told) was fairly crude, left a lot of scratches near the edge, and was of uneven width on one side. I tried to correct it–not too hard–but it’s still there. Could be the sharpening, could be the blade geometry; I’ve had at least one Devin knife with a bad grind. I may send it off to a sharpening/refinishing pro, if I can find one.
–Spent a little time trying to get the screech out of the front brake on the bike; failed. There’s really nothing more I can do. Will see if it rides out, maybe look into new disc rotors.
–Picked up another Toujours Moi compact at UPS. Nice looking, still plenty of creme perfume left, smelling exactly like the first two I bought.
–Went to Bel Air for dessert.
