Exploding Plate, Cabin Update, and More

So this is just kind of random. I was making a baked potato in the microwave when I heard a pop sound. I opened the microwave to find this:


I guess there must've been a small crack in the plate that had gotten moisture in it that expanded when it started to heat up.

A quick update on the cabin. I replaced both sections of Plexiglas on the front screen door. The bottom one had been broken and missing for a while and the top one was cracked and faded. The sheets only cost $15 a piece at Home Depot and are fairly easy to install. All you have to do is cut them to size with a table saw, apply silicon sealant the the frame, then slide the panels in and let them dry. For $35 worth of materials, I think the "new door" looks pretty good.

Here's a before shot:


And the after shot:


The pictures don't really do it justice, but the new glass really does make a big difference.

I have a job interview at a ski area tomorrow for being a snowboard instructor. It's a group interview (which I have no experience with), so I'm a bit anxious about how I'll do. Hopefully all goes well and I get a winter job squared away.

I also made a little modification to my Jeep. I removed/cut away the front air dam. I think it looks better, but it should also keep it from getting caught on stuff when I'm 4 wheeling. I removed the license plate cover a while ago, so I think the front end is quite a bit cleaner now.
