what's on my mind?

[rmd]

things i am pondering at this very moment:

1. i leave for BARGE (to be followed by a trip to seattle) this week. yay!
1a. i must do laundry.
1b. perhaps i should repurple some of my hair.
2. i've been considering buying a metal detector for my dad. the boston globe is reading my mind. or something
3. somewhat related (my folks live next to a salt-water tidal river) - i wonder if i could hack a CPAP machine to sit around on a boat or dock and provide safe pumped air via tube for shallow underwater breathing. (figure, 10' or 12' max.) really, it would just be a case of hacking the mask/mouthpiece rather than the cpap itself.
4. middleboro, ma, wants to set up a casino. woot! come on legislature! approve! APPROVE!
5. i have never in my life been so tempted to buy a crossstitch kit

"i've been considering buying a metal detector for my dad."

I keep thinking of renting a metal detector and searching the backyard of the house Ann grew up in. According to family legend, her mother lost not one, but two gold wedding rings while gardening.

"i wonder if i could hack a CPAP machine to sit around on a boat or dock and provide safe pumped air via tube for shallow underwater breathing."

If you put your finger on the tube, how much pressure does it put out?
