Breakfast at home: two small sausage links, one hash brown patty, two eggs over easy, one toasted english muffin with salted butter, hot water. Did some cleaning in the primary bathroom: missed some spots from cleaning on Saturday on the inside of the sliding glass door. Continued the corkboard project: applied wood filler and two layers of thin backing cardboard to resolve a problem mounting one hinge in a troublesome spot, glued another piece of wood to the previous piece I had glued to better position the magnet that will hold the corkboard closed against the wall (or, rather, against the metal panel that it is intended to hide). Did some cleaning in the secondary bathroom: sliding door track. Continued the corkboard project: reattached the hinge that had a problem, reattached the magnet, installed wall anchors, removed old felt pads, removed old felt pad adhesive with Goo Gone. Did research for accommodations in Santa Cruz. Dinner at home with Patrick: creamy garlic chicken with spinach skillet with seeded dinner roll; chardonnay. Dessert: one Arizmendi Bakery ricciarelli each. I completed the corkboard project: I glued wooden supports to a cordboard, attached a magnet and hinges, and mounted it to the wall such that the magnet attached to a service panel on the wall. When we needed access to the service panel, we could swing the corkboard on its hinges to reveal the panel. When the corkboard was closed on its hinges, the panel was hidden and the corkboard surface was exposed. We watched part of What's Next?: The Future With Bill Gates s1:e1 What will AI do for us/to us? on Netflix then watched various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. I processed a few more dirty dishes then joined him not long afterwards.
