§ At work I made a second revision of the table design I started last week. The primary change is that I replaced the unistrut nuts with their 5/16”-18 bolts for much smaller rectangular weld nuts and 1/4”-20 hardware. This new smaller hardware is 1/3rd of the price, easier to work with, and I don’t notice any difference in the sturdiness of the final product. It seems like a win all around.
§ Halloween is next week, already. We’ve been making a lobster costume for baby Kieran inspired by my first Halloween costume that was, according to my mom, made by a puppeteer friend of theirs who had worked with Jim Henson. I’m still eagerly awaiting photos of it. I am under no false pretenses that our costume will be Muppets-caliber but I’m confident it will be cute nonetheless.
§ Also next week: daylight saving time ends. Recently Caroline and I have been taking the baby on after dinner walks around the neighborhood. This is going to get a lot harder once it gets dark at 5:00 PM. I am not looking forward to it.
