Good machine day for me in a couple of ways. For one, I had thought that the AC cord on my adapter was shot (again) and that the slow bleed of battery power was because of that. So I was expecting to shell out for a new cord (again.) But it turns out the power strip just wasn't plugged in quite right. Once I unplugged and reset it, the battery recharged itself back up to 100% before too long.
Also, I bought a drill today. First time I ever owned one. It's the sort of thing I would expect to buy from a gruff, grandfatherly fellow in a lumberjack shirt. The guy who helped me pick it out, though, couldn't have been over 25 and had onyx disks in both ears. Buying powertools is a different experience when you shop near an art school.
So anyway, now I have a power drill. After charging it up for an hour I put up a hat/coat rack with a knicknack shelf on top. It's still up, knock on wood. Maybe I'm getting a little handier.

Why was I reminded of Rumpole nailing a bookshelf to the wall while 'she who must be obeyed' looked askance at the tilt? Now you have a drill just remember not to point it at anything unless you intend to use it..
Quite true about pointing the things. You don't want to press the lever at the wrong time. Leo McKern was so good as Rumpole.
