168th day sober. I took forever to take this radar controller thing apart last night; it required cutting the frame into pieces with a hacksaw to get the goodies, such as they are, out. Before I knew it, it was dawn and I was done as far as doing much else. I started in reading "Wampeters, Foma, and Granfalloons", a Vonnegut paperpack I'd bought some time in the past and hadn't had much hopes for, but it turned out to be beyond excellent. This guy figured out things, in the 1960s and 70s, that I've only begun to figure out how. His send-up of the Moon program was an amazing breath of fresh air.
I was in bed until 9PM tonight reading all of this. I used to do this; take a day off and just read a book.
