We had a nice break from winter today, with the temperatures soaring to the 60s by mid-afternoon. w00t!

I made my weekly tithe unto Lowe's for the various projects around the house. The main project for today was building a wine rack for my mini-cellar. We've got no spare rooms for a real cellar, or even the inclination to house cases of wine, but I have been buying a nice bottle here and there. It's that free subscription to Wine Spectator that puts all these ideas in my head. Free isn't really free, ultimately.

Anyway, I built a wine rack for the basement that will hold 21 bottles on three shelves, along with a nice black felt cover to keep it dark and cool. I'm feeling pretty handy now, what with this rack and with the repair yesterday of my boss's Aeron chair. I'll be fixing mine on Monday. That seat bolt there seems to be a weak link in an otherwise spiffy chair.

Tax returns tomorrow and hopefully some more outside time in the sun.
