1 We have a whole Saturday available. Let's deal with this first.	2 Ready to plug as fast as possible.	3 Not very long. Sharp though. No hissing. Did we get lucky?	4 It clearly went deeper than the raised tread blocks.	5 Soapy water liberally applied. No bubbles. Looks like we got lucky.	6 Let's use some more of Saturday to hit the local nursery.
7 One ready made basket and some succulents to make another. One or the other will survive the sun and wind and my lack of watering expertise	8 May transfer this to one of the black iron baskets, but if it stays like this you won't be able to tell there's a basket under there.	9 Another purslane. Given how well the big ones do around here this should do OK.	10 Not sure why this Morning Glory gave up at this. It looks like it made seed pods though. It wasn't the light blue variety I was hoping for so I'm not going to plant 'em.	11 Time to break up this mess.	12 What the heck. Will try these too.
13 Thought they were one plant at first but no.	14 They've been rooting with enthusiasm in their little popsicle mold pots.	15 It took some wrangling just to extract this from the pot.	16 Good little starter here.	17 Just a baby. This goes inside with the "bonsai" succulents.	18 Now to separate and repot the more mature ones.
19 Three large and two small out of this is the final score.	20 Can we make a succulent variety hanging basket? Let's give it a go.	21 Gently prised apart the individual plants in that 4" pot. Might have a casualty or two to root damage but we might get lucky. We're lucky today, right?	22 Will split these up and some go in the basket and some will live inside.	23 These are less entangled.	24 If this thrives it could be a'ight.
25 A man has a notion about having a secondary "office" available in the main bedroom. This table has been under used in the laundry room for years.	26 Hmm. 30" table top and 31" height are a real challenge for 31" doors and tight space on either side.	27 Plus railings and light fixtures that narrow that 31" working space even more. At least the books will be getting dusted soon, since I had to move them and notice how dusty they've gotten.	28 That was the trickiest bend. Almost home free.	29 You are making a lot of noise here lately, monkey.	30 And there we have it. That space was just asking for something to do. Chair/table height are a mismatch for a work station but we'll figure something out.
31 Koba still not so sure he likes what is going on.
