– Eat funnel cakes
– Having a try at winning a stuffed animal

It’s the start of a new year, which means it’s time to clean out your house (and your life), and get rid of things that aren’t necessary. Today is National Clean Off Your Desk Day, so it’s the perfect day to kick-start your cleaning.
Here are some good tips for saying good-bye to items that don’t serve a purpose in your life:
– Start small (just do your desk today, then move onto your closets, garage, etc.)
– Divide items into 3 categories: keep; donate; throw away
– Rule of thumb: If you didn’t use it last year, odds are you won’t use it this year either
– Please make sure you don’t throw away your Lufkin tape measure– that comes in handy everyday!
Don’t be afraid of the unusual scales on an architect scale ruler. It might have 4
scales, but you will only need to use one of them for a particular drawing. Let’s make one example. Take a look at the w906a Architects Scale Lufkin Tape. It has 2 scales. One is 1/8 and the other is 1/4. Let’s say that the drawing in front of you is drawn to the 1/4 scale. It says this in the information box at the bottom. The 1/4 means that 1/4 inch on the drawing represents 1 foot in real life. In this case we will ignore the 1/8 scale and use only the 1/4 scale. Set your zero mark at the corner of some part of the drawing. The other corner is even with the 9 mark. That means it is 9 feet long. It’s really that simple.
