It’s Saturday, and after a busy, geeky week, I’m ready to join my friends, kick back and enjoy a cold Corona and a bit of casual conversation that is all too uncommon these days. During this conversation, we hope to find a way to deal with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt:
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘medium.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!”
If we were having a beer, it would be time to catch up.
“Good afternoon, my young friend. How are you today?”
“Good afternoon, David. I am parched.”
“Cheryl, bring this man a Corona, and while you’re back there…”
“Three fingers of John Howell’s bourbon, a snifter of seltzer and a glass of ice?”
“Yes, please, Cheryl. Unlike last week, I am eager to get that bourbon without chasing that nimrod all around the bar.”
“I’ll be right back, guys.”
“So, Dan, what have you been up to, other than semicolons and curly braces?”
“I take it you’re not a fan of CSS, David.”
“I am, Dan, much like the way I’m a fan of the computer that runs my car. By that I mean, I like the result.”
“How’s that?”
“Before you answer, David, here’s your bourbon. Dan, here’s your beer. Cherries and lime wedge included.”
“You’re not a fan of CSS, either, Cheryl?”
“No, Dan, I’m not. And after paying to clear the check engine light, I’m not even a fan of my car’s computer. You boys want any food”
“Wings, Cheryl. Bring us an order of ten.”
“Barbeque style, with Blue Cheese for you, and Parmesan Peppercorn dressing for Dan?”
“No. Let’s kick it up a notch, Cheryl – make those buffalo style.”
“How much heat would you like, David?
“Medium hot, Cheryl. I don’t want to have to buy Dan too many beers.”
“Your concern is touching, David.”
“Actually, Dan, I don’t like them too hot. Enough about that, you haven’t told me what you’ve been doing.”
“I started my garage renovation.”
“Started? I thought you’d be flying through that project.”
“I made good progress, but, well, it’s complicated.”
“As I understand the project, Dan, it’s raise the floor, build a wall, remove a wall and call it a day.”
“In a nutshell, David, that’s correct, but that’s a pretty big nutshell.”
“How much did you get done?”
“I’ve got a vapor barrier, sleepers, joists and flooring on a little more than half the space.”
“That sounds like good progress, but I would think you’d go all the way across with each layer. Why stop at fifty-percent?”
“David, you have to understand. The space had to be empty before I could work on it. That means, I had to move my tools out of the way.”
“I get that, Dan, but you’re only converting ten feet. Couldn’t you just push the tools into the other part of the garage?”
“Yes, but that part of the garage also has the lumber I’m using to build that floor and those walls and support the structure above that wall I’m going to remove.”
“Hey guys, here are your wings. Dan, I know what you’re talking about. When they did the renovations in here, they had stuff stored everywhere.”
“Am I correct in assuming that the half of the new space you’ve built is now full of tools, Dan?”
“Exactly, David. I’ll start building the other half of the floor on Monday.”
“How long will it take you to finish?”
“It’s complicated.”
“You keep saying that.”
“Once I get the partition wall up, I have to focus on the garage portion. I have to be able to park two cars in there by the end of the month.”
“An admirable goal. I’m beginning to understand, Dan.”
“You follow along pretty well, David. What do you think of the plan?”
“It’s complicated.”
“It is, and these wings are spicy. Cheryl, I think I’ll have another Corona, and I think the old man needs a little more bourbon.”
“And maybe a splash of seltzer, David?”
“Yes please, Cheryl. Good luck with this project, Dan.”
“Cheers, David.”
