Hey, I finally got around to fixing that shelf in the garage. It took a while to find the right brackets but it’s up now and looks sturdy. Let me know if you want to borrow the drill again—I’ll be home most of Saturday. Also, I saw your message about the weekend hike. Sounds good, but I might be a bit late if traffic is bad. Let’s plan to meet at the trailhead around 9 instead of 8. Bring plenty of water and maybe a snack. I’ll bring the extra map. Let me know if you need a ride.

Oh, and thanks for the recipe you shared last week. I tried it on Wednesday and it turned out great. Even the kids liked it. I might tweak the seasoning next time, but overall solid. Talk soon.

Oh I saw that documentary you mentioned. It was pretty interesting actually, especially the part about the old maps. Not sure I agree with all the conclusions but it made me think. Have you seen the new sci-fi series on Netflix? I started it last night. Pretty good so far. The first episode sets up a cool mystery. Let me know if you want to watch it together sometime. I’m free this Thursday evening. Also, I finally got my bike back from the shop. They fixed the gears and it rides smooth now. Maybe we can go for a ride this weekend if the weather holds up.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you—I signed up for that woodworking class starting next month. Should be fun. I’ll let you know how it goes. Anyway, catch up later.
