The Blog of Harald

Going back over the front page of the blog:

* My back was better enough that I could function by the weekend, thankfully. It was still bugging me at curling two weeks later, but now I seem to be completely back to normal. (Yes, I know what you’re all thinking: “As normal as Harald ever gets…”).

* I’ve emptied the eavestroughs and other clutter from the roof. I think a pile of sticks was trapping water, allowing it to seep up under the shingles and then down. The flashing is all intact, so I can’t see any other way for it to get in. Tonight’s the first big rain since then, so we’ll see what happens.

* The wasps are well and truly gone. We still need to dig the nest out of the house, to prevent carpet beetles…

* Every day I hate driving in this city a little bit more.

* G, C, and I are now all addicted to Maple Story. I have a reasonably capable level 17 bowman and an optimized level 21 mage (I found a guide online :). Sadly, it’s a “grind” game; lots of monotonous killing of monsters to level up, and a few quests that mainly involve killing lots of monsters and picking up the stuff they drop.

That’s it for now…
