Garage
Slow Sunday, I disassembled shelving while Mrs Mermaid put my computer desk together and rearranged the boxes to make room for my workshop.
Aside from that, she made us some fantastic chick’n rice bowls, with Italian shaking peppers that were delicious.
Now, we are catching up w season 2 of surviving summer, after having shared a little chocolate ice cream or dessert

Got my foot treated
Poor ol’ cryptid-Scotto went to the podiatrist today, and long story short, no unessential walking around for 3 weeks while my left hoof heals up. Nothing serious, just a boo-boo that is poorly placed and needs time to heal. Weirdly coincidence that I had to patch a tire on our car, after it ran over a nail and developed a slow leak.
Upside of being parked on the couch, I am getting good snuggles from Pearl (see previous entry), and I discovered a nifty filter in PicsArt that can make my doodles into “toys”. (See second image)
Downside of today, I wasn’t comfortable going to get ice cream with @maximillian_deersteak tonight, and meeting some of her colleagues in a socially distanced yum fest.
Unrelated, screw Unity and the per install nonsense. So much for developing freeware using it, and so many other problems. Talk to devs before making policy, you dunces. This could bankrupt so many small developers.

Places for six butts
Got some fresh furniture for the living room and the yellow room. Living room now has a new loveseat, easy chair and sofa, so that is seating for six covered. The configuration will likely be Mrs and me on the sofa, inlaws on loveseat and cat on the easy chair, but time will tell.
The yellow room got a nice gaming / LEGO table, with enough space to play our largest boardgames with room to spare, and 8 chairs to surround it. If I still had an occasion to play RPGs, we would be well set, given that the pantry and kitchen is just a doorway over.

Getting into the Autumn vibe this morning, the gang did a double pumpkin run, Krispy Kreme for pumpkin spice donuts, and Dunkin’ for Pumpkin Hazelnut coffee. (I had an everything bagel wth egg and cheese, and a Boston cream, but the vibe was still there.)

Out and about on a rainy day
The inlaws, Mrs and I went to scout around Olde Salem Days today, during the end of a rainstorm. I feel for the vendors and visitors who missed some cool shopping, but I am happy that the chance for major illness spreading was cut down.
After a quick orbit of town, we swung by hang 10 for some orang dole whip, and then returned home to check out the delayed Virginia tech game.
Currently on couch while the ladies are in the dining area checking out stuff online.

Gnite!
Painted pig update
Did I miss a pig paint? It looks like there is a darker undercoat that I didn’t see last time, but the painters may have covered it with black before giving it a coat of pink and then writing on it on gold.
I really can’t make out what the gold markings say, if anything. As some small form of compensation to myself and and anyone following the pig, I include a smiley face drawn on the pavement nearby, and a sort of long distance shot from the stoplight.
It looks like the merchantile is about moved into the shop, I wonder when it will open up?
