Flat on my back with a heat pad underneath feeling shocks of pain in my lower spinal area if I move wrong. It is a good time to write, a bad time to work. Of course this happens nearly every autumn. It seems like it is either my knee or my back that is giving me problems lately. As soon as my knee started feeling better from that skate session at the Eureka skatepark my back started acting up and I don't think scraping paint from the ceiling helped it any.

Before getting back to scraping paint I started building
upper cabinets out of white oak. They are supposed to match
existing cabinets in an Arcata rental house. I haven't used oak much, it seems very stable... and smells good too. The face frames are glued up and the side panels are made. Doors are next, they will have curved top and bottom rails so I will have to divise a jig for a flush cut router bit to get smooth curves in this hard wood.

Whenever I came to a good stopping point on the cabinets I went down to the house to hang drywall, spread some mud and strip more paint. I have a new heat gun just like the last one and I am nearly finished with the ceiling in the music room. I probably would have finished today but I decided to take a break before I cripple myself, I feel pretty close to it right now. I think I want to sport a cane for support and to be able to stand up straight. Or just lay here and listen to Pandora.
