Rise at 8:00 and discuss the day with the wife. I make a run out to the Flea while she goes to the garden center. Flea markets fascinate me for two reasons: people and stuff. People watching moves to a different level at the FM, personalities, families, side conversations about all manner of things while haggling over items. The father shouting at his kids NOT TO TOUCH when, for an 8 year-old at the flea it's an impossibility. And the stuff! What seems to be the popular item that turns up at many of the vendors? Musical instruments and old golf clubs this week. Next week it will be different.
I did find some nice chisels for $6, and looked at, but passed on, a drill press for $25. It was a good manufacturer, but a little rough looking, and needed some work. I kept going past it, while the junk collector in me kept saying "but it's only $25!".
Home to some garden work, which doesn't last long once the sun and the heat really kick in. Spray seal the interior of a metal container so it can be used as a planter, and rearrange items on the deck. Out shopping for dinner while Lisa naps.
Opt not to rotisserie as Lisa is very hungry when she wakes, so grill instead. Dinner of pork loin in a pomegranite & chipotle marinade, with grilled red potatoes and vidalia onions, with corn.
Some fiddling on the computer, then upstairs for the Robot Chicken - Star Wars special, then sleep.
