Tools ‘n’ fixin’ ‘n’ stuff

Things I put to use this weekend.
Dimmer switch: Replaced!
Office chair: Assembled!
Old desk: Disassembled!
(Truth be told, I don’t think any of these took more than 15 minutes – in fact, I’m sure I spent more time finding out which breaker switch shut off the dimmer power than actually installing the new one. Still.)

About
I tell stories, true and otherwise.
More? Northeast Ohioan. Dad. Brachiopod hunter. Semi-casual runner. Geek. Writer for 30+ years; started getting paid for it in 1995. A decade as a full-time reporter, columnist and blogger. Freelance projects for magazines, radio and online outlets.
I’ve written two books: “Collect All 21! Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek – The First 30 Years” and a novel, “Crossing Decembers.“
More? My racing name on our pirated Commodore 64 copy of The Great American Cross Country Road Race was Lamborghini Lyle. After the day I finally knocked off the computer-driven All-American Al and took first place, the game never worked again. Sore loser.

Most of my minor home repairs/improvements involve minor (if I’m lucky) personal injury. So if you accomplished stuff around the house and didn’t bleed, I figure you deserve a pat on the back.
Thanks. :)
