Last night I had a dream that I owned a franchise restaurant that was slowly doing worse and worse. I couldn’t stop the decline, and I kept thinking about past mistakes that kept feeding into the spiral.

Depressing! So I woke up.

Everyone was sick so I went to church and played the bass. It rained while I was inside playing. It’s been very dry recently, so I checked under the mulch after the rain, and the mulch was damp but the soil was bone dry.

Today was supposed to be taking my daughter to a Girl Scout day camp, but she was running a fever. 

Instead I started trying to print some 3D parts for my sons Halloween costume (bits kept lifting off the build plate, so not a success there), and I did some processing of black walnuts that I got at my friend’s house. 

I’ve been washing the walnuts after I hull them and it was excruciating slow going. One dude on YouTube said not to bother, and I find myself agreeing with him.
