some things I did, vaguely car related excerpts from my insta/fb

went to a drive-in movie.

in this pandemic era we’ve been looking for reasons to get out and about, and Red Rocks amphitheater has switched out their usu al Film On The Rocks, which typically occurs in the amphitheater itself, for a semi-permanent drive-in movie in one of their parking lots. I say semi-permanent because I’ve been to “popup” drive- ins that used inflatable screens, and this one is more substantial.

It was in one of the more slope y-uphill parking lots so that was good for visibility of the screen.

initial notes on our tickets were that we would not be allowed to park backwards, which thankfully upon arrival they did permit as we had made a comfy nest in our CR-V’s trunk.

Other restrictions were we had to be masked when not in our car, we couldn’t pull out folding chairs to sit outside the car to watch the movie, and the cars were staggered in their lines so our trunk opening was not directly in line with anyone else’ s.

We saw The Goonies; a first viewing for my kids, and a movie the wife and I hadn’t seen in years. Good drive-in movie.

I tidied my garage

having been gifted an additional set of tiny plastic drawers I set about sorting all my various electrical components. Previously there had been one big drawer that was “ANYTHING WITH A WIRE OR RELATED TO WIRES OR BUTTONS ETC ETC ETC”. I found so many things I’d bought seconds and thirds of because I couldn’t find them before.

Satisfying result

AND I found a couple packs of legit N-95 masks!

My other pile of “THIS IS SOMEWHAT HOUSE RELATED OR A DOOR HINGE OR A TYPE OF SELF DRIVING SCREW OR NAIL OR STICKY THING ETC ETC ETC” got some sorting...

...but I shall need to purchase more little drawers (or more likely more costco m&ms) before they all have a home. they are at least now consolidated into less packages and stacked neatly instead of a precarious pile, ever promising to tumble

and, not long ago I saw a big plane

with t he decrease in overall aviation, and my increase in spending time walking around outside or biking or frisbee golfing or ANYTHING TO NOT BE IN MY HOUSE I’ve seen some neat planes

I do however not ever carry a camera good enough to photograph them :D

The drive-in looks fun. They are opening one in my city, but the rules state you can’t sit in the bed of a pickup and watch the movie, so I’m out.
