Sunday Is Supposed To Be A Day Of Rest? Really?

[sakon76]

Found flashlight. Charged battery. Drilled placement holes. Swapped pedal brackets and knee levers. Took cabinet and other donation things to Goodwill. Returned truck to parents, along with the barrelful of compost and a half flat of seedlings (melons, cukes, tomatoes, calendula, zinnias). Stopped for lunch, did grocery shopping, came home, napped. Got up and found I had a metric ton of class 66 bobbins; parcelled a couple dozen out for my mother, since the brand-new bobbins that said they would fit her machine (a 201) apparently don't. Checked to see which bobbins my own machines need. The treadle and the Babylock use class 15s. The 128 handcrank uses long shuttle bobbins. The others (101, 401, and the 66 that's disassembled on the garage workbench) all take 66s.

No gardening at all this weekend. I am most put out.

Ours hasn't seen heavy use. Probably more like sporadic use. It's hanging in there. :D

Ooh. Hmm. Yeah, pretty much. XD

Mr. Happy is an Echium hybrid. Whatever Echiums are. He's very, ahem, upright, whatever he is. Heh.

Mine doesn't have the bulbous base. But maybe come winter I'm supposed to cut him back...I think I'm going to email them about that before I do it. I don't want to whack him too much... Yes, there is no way to avoid going wrong with that statement. XD Anyway, they are nice little lilac-colored flowers. He's just getting started! Woo!

I have a second set of cams, and some feet and bobbins for T&S machines. Didn't find them until after we'd done the donation, of course. :/ Would you like them, or should I put them in the pile for the Costume College scholarship rummage sale?

And, hmm, yeah, "Mr. Happy" is an apt name! ^_^ Going to write him into Borealis, or have you already done so and I've just missed it? Trimming your bush... whacking it off... floral circumcision... yeah, with a plant shaped like that, there are few ways to phrase things that don't automatically turn into innuendos. Do the flowers have much scent, or are they just for pretties?

And no, I am totally not looking at that link and thinking of Optimus in that other fic you're writing....

Oh! That would probably be a very good idea! How much you want for 'em? I can PayPal you?

LOL! ^^;;;;; The flowers have no scent that I can detect, alas. They are quite pretty.

SNERK! Optimus can relate! Let's see, how tall is he, I wonder, in TFP? And should the proportion be similar to a human's...? XD 6/72...1/12... if he's 20 feet tall... Well, right there, Mr. Happy is theoretically going to be bigger. Even if OP is 30 feet tall. Unless his spike is extensible...................
