Yesterday, there weren’t many people at the gym. Thursdays usually arent’t crowded, but there’s usually a bunch of people. It almost seemed empty. It made me wonder what sorts of resolutions people were making.

For the guy who suggested a Sawzall: it won’t work well on lath and plaster. Trust me, I know. Cutting a hole in lath and plaster is a pain, and the Sawzall is more likely to crumble a large section as it beats against the wall. I have experience with both, but the last time I used a Sawzall I was 70 feet up a tower cutting an antenna off of a mast. The antenna was probably over a hundred pounds and it banged the tower on the way down. I think we could have been safer about taking it down. Anyway, Jason gave me some specific tips about how he uses a saber saw on lath and plaster (larger foot = less banging on the plaster).

So not only did Jason give me advice on how to cut lath and plaster, he was also giving me dating advice. He kind of told me that a cute pharmacist is probably out of my league, since she sees lots of guys and gets plenty of attention from non-geeks. Oh, well. At least we get a “downtown discount” at the pharmacy since we work downtown.
