My Day... mourning for a cat.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I had to dig a grave for a cat today.  Her name was Dali.  I met her last May... and she was skinny-thin then. Sixteen years old and wasting away.  But I grew to love her.  She had a really sweet spirit for a cat.  I remember the feeling of her frailty as she climbed on my lap.  But now she is gone... and I had to dig a grave.  I shed some tears in the process.  We'll miss you Dali.  You'll be mourned.

My shoulders are sore.  After the grave-digging... and the burden of sorrow there, I helped some friends move.  Thank goodness I was only a secondary source of muscle.  Two younger guys shouldered most of the load.  The small share I took is causing a serious burn in my upper trapezius.

But I have my 'trade secret' project that I am working on... I did a little research.  I think I need a stainless steel nut with the following specs: 1/4"-20.
