Paul and I purchased materials to replace our basement windows. I helped in painting the wood 2X4's, and chiseling some of the wall borders to help size the window casements better. In the evening, we drank plenty of cheap beer, which is a great help when doing projects; it doesn't alter you that fast, and you can drink plenty of them during the day and evening, and still be OK in the morning to proceed with work. We also watched the Badger game and during halftime, the squirrels outside my house on Regent Street that have been eating and gathering all the hickory nuts from the lone shagbark hickory tree on that part of the street. The squirrels are at such a rate that every second pieces of the nut would fall onto the street, and every once in awhile a few nuts themselves. The street in that section is littered with nut pieces and resin from the nuts.
