solarbirdIn less creepy news than any of the previous three posts, I finally had time to take out the old postbox and put up the new one. I had to shorten the post a good bit, but I got it cut without too much trouble and built a little platform to bolt down the new box. There was a bit of a run-and-shout-about while trying to find the misplaced keys to the new mailbox right as I was about to bolt it down, which had me finishing the installation after dark, but it's all taken care of at last. The new box is much more level than the old, as well, tho' that means I had to cut the post at an angle, which is kind of funny. Postbox posts should not attempt to be rakish.
Saturday's Token: 0.4 miles but lots of outdoor work
Miles out of Hobbiton: 1387
Miles out of Rivendell: 922
Miles out of Lothlórien: 468
Miles past Rauros Falls: 60.1
Miles to Isengard: 411.6
Also, I finally took a day off studying on Saturday and caught up on a bunch of things about the house, which is now significantly more clean, and a couple of parts of which are significantly better organised. And we watched the Torchwood pilot, which did not impress. It was much too much of a fan script for me, and so far, I'm not getting anywhere with the characters. Of course, most of them were only introduced in the most brief of terms, so maybe that'll change abruptly next episode, now that we're past the interminable but inevitable origin story.
Get Close
It's supposed to drop below freezing this week. The odds of snow are pretty much zero, but we had some significant hail this morning, and now the wind is picking up quite a bit again and it's getting dark. The broadleaf maples are throwing leaves down with abandon, and they're huge, so it looks like a parade for giants, and every so often one smacks into the window with a surprisingly loud thok. I like it.
Ah well, enough of that. Time to get back to homework. I'll try to have more regular CWU updates this coming week, but I've got another midterm on Wednesday so things may be a tad on the side of the dodgy.
