altivoI'll meet the deadline. It is now September, but the weaving doesn't have to be delivered until the 7th. The 19th of my 20 required squares is now partly completed on the loom. It will be done by this time tomorrow I'm sure. The 20th is my own and doesn't need to be turned in to anyone, but it will be done before the weekend is over. I've got it down to where it takes me less than two hours to finish a square. There is extra warp on the loom, too, and I need to figure out something interesting to weave with it.
Today's weather was truly stifling. Since I was already into the 18th square, I took time off and we went out for lunch and did a little shopping. Came back and I finished square eighteen and started the next one while Gary was at choir practice. Thank goodness, no more purple. Number nineteen is in a nice deep greenish blue called "Loden" and of course my own final square is cornflower blue.
Back to work tomorrow, but I suspect it will be slow due to the holiday weekend coming up. Most people will have already flown the coop, so to speak.
Speaking of holidays, we noticed while we were out that many gas stations have jumped their prices up significantly as of today. I don't think there is any justification for this other than a desire to gouge as much as possible from holiday travelers. On Tuesday the prices will mysteriously drop again.

Date: 2011-09-02 10:22 am (UTC)We're outlandishly busy at work this week. 90% of the town lost power with Irene and since we have electricity and internet at the library we have grown very popular with residents. Cell phones are charging everywhere and laptops rule the program room tables (yes, they should probably just be called table-top computers...).
I filled up yesterday for $3.699 a gallon. It will probably climb from that as well.

Date: 2011-09-02 11:14 pm (UTC)Prices in Harvard went all the way to $3.999 Wednesday afternoon, crashed back to $3.959 as of Friday morning but were jacked back up to $3.999 again by 5 pm. It's a weekend gouge. No way they took deliveries at different prices over such a short interval.
As of rush hour this evening, those stations had zero customers when I passed. Serves them right. I think locals are finally figuring out their game and refusing to fall for it.
