Restoration of my C64 breadbin has been fun. Got my plane ready for annual
inspection. Restored a dead headset.

My spouse and I are closer now than ever, so that's great. I don't know.

You know, I find it really difficult to keep contact with my friends. They're
hard to have a sustained conversation with on text message and forget the
notion of talking on the phone. I have one friend who'll call to talk for any
period of time. The rest, nah.

It was like that before, but the lockdown made it worse.
