Friday report

Again, not a lot of real activity. We have been spending our evenings watching The Vietnam War. I remember most of the stuff from 1967 on very well. I did a lot of research on how to avoid the draft; B getting braces seemed most likely, since the army did not want to pay for their maintenance. We were making plans, and doing some standing in anti-war local demonstrations. B had been for his physical when the draft drawing took place - B's birthday was number 336, which pretty much meant he was safe.

Anyway, not much sorting and discarding happened. I took about 8 books to the B2P workroom. I did add one thing to a kitchen drawer. It's a small screwdriver, with extra bits in the handle. It was recommended on the Cool Tools feed, to keep in the kitchen so a screw driver can be easily found for quick tightening and repairs. That made perfect sense to me, so one is now in the kitchen tools drawer.

I like that idea on the screwdriver. Our whole family carry little leatherman pocket knives, so everyone has a screwdriver in their pocket, but I can see the advantage of one in the kitchen for the times when it would be nicer to have a full sized one. And it reminds me that the 'cutlery' drawers need clearing out again, because I noticed something that never gets used.
