First Bean Pickin' - August 21

I had a "Maytag Repairman" day at the office yesterday - nobody called, nobody visited.  I knew it was going to be that way, and so I took some things to work with me to occupy my time. 

Snapping green beans is a thing that you can let your hands do while your mind does something else that's not too taxing, like watching movies or engaging in stimulating conversations.  Since I didn't have anybody to talk to while I snapped, I watched YouTube videos - specifically, beginner mandolin videos.  (I told you I got a mandolin, didn't I?)
