Sunday-Funday
Jan. 27th, 2008 08:51 pmIt got above freezing for a little while this afternoon, but not very long. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer still, but with rain.
The north door of the arena is still stuck, but closer examination indicates that my fear that it will be derailed by the lifting frost heave from below is probably ungrounded. (No pun intended, or maybe it is.) Unlike the simpler sliding door on the older barn, the two on the arena have split double tracks with the doors hung from bars that travel between the two tracks. Even if the wheels are lifted right off the rail, the door can't fall off the tracks and crash to the ground. With any luck tomorrow it will be warm enough to loosen the earth under the frozen door and free it up.
Made oatmeal bagels today. I don't do that particular recipe often enough, and I need to make a note on it to adjust the flour proportions a bit. Otherwise, they turned out well enough.
Finished Pratchett's Thud! and while I found parts of it very clever and well done, I thought the last chapter or so was so weak it might as well have been left off. The impact of the main resolution is lost in the vague conclusions.
