This was a productive day. I worked on the roof putting up flashing from the window to the edge of the West side. This was in preparation for the two pieces of 1x4 PVC corner bead that I installed next. This essentially completes the cornice work. Out in the back somewhere is a noisy and annoying machine that just roars. I don't know what they are doing but it gets to me after a while. We had a long list of errands to do which included a post office trip to drop off a package, a trip to Whole Foods to use our Groupon and get tomorrow's dinner then a stop by Ira's office for Libbie to get her glasses. We also went to the greenhouse where I picked up 4 more pails of gravel. Lots of running around!

Came in and cleaned up for First Friday. We went to Nichole's and had some wine and bought some fused glass angels for the TAVS gift exchange. Next stop was Raleigh CAM. Had a hard time finding parking but eventually a block down from CAM we got a spot. Admission was $5 each. The building is lovely, it's a converted produce warehouse. The art was not to my taste. Downstairs they had a weird NC State School of Design high tech art display. Once again, not for me. We had dinner at the Pit. I had Carolina style Spare ribs with beans abd french fries and some Brooklyn beer which was a microbrew. Excellent. I remarked to Libbie that we were the oldest people in the place. Surrounding us were tables of young professionals.
