Yesterday, I was preparing some stock for another foot stool. Grabbed four already partially milled pieces, consulted my sketch, cut them to length, ripped them to width, drilled four pocket holes in each, sanded them and was preparing to attach them when I realized that I had ripped four pieces that had previously been ripped to the correct width. DUH, I had consulted the wrong sheet of my sketches.

There went two hours of my life I'll never get back. 

I didn't throw a hammer through the window this time. There wasn't one handy. But heated words were exchanged with the idiot that made the mistake. He's on notice, now.

Ah, well. Today's a new day. And, thank God it's not a Monday.

 

 

 

I don't understand the fascination with Monday and no shop work. I can effectively screw up things on any day of the week...why wait for Monday?

What's a Monday? I don't see any of those on my calendar. Are you guys using a metric calendar? 

For some reason, I am more tired after work on Monday than any other day, so I usually try not to get in the shop when I feel like that. Bad things can happen...

Reminds me of the Mamas & Papas

 

Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A you can find me cryin' all of the time

I usually don't even have to look at the calender....to know it is a Monday....things just seem to act...differently.

 

Even the camera was acting...weird.     I'd look through the viewfinder, set up the shot, press the "shoot" button, and the camera would shut off.    I'd wait a minute, camera turns itself back on,  Then a quick press of the Shoot button to catch the camera off guard....and I have a picture.  

 

Maybe today, I can clean up the schmears of glue, drill a few holes for screws, and attach the top?  After all.....this IS Tuesday, right?

Kelly, I don't have that excuse. But, I seem to be more stupider than usual on Mondays.

Like Dan's Mammas andPoppas quote, cryin all the time.

Let's strike Monday from the calendar and start the week with Tuesday#1 and Tuesday#2.

 

Handy Dan: I'd be willing to bet there are some around here wondering who the heck The Mamas and Papas are/were.

I am not that bad, but I have great expectations during the day of what I want to do when I get home, but when I get home, I feel drained. Not so much on the other days of the week.

I suppose I should put up the video for them.

retire...

make 'em all Saturdays except for a Sunday if you need one..

or just not have nameless days.. only sessions of light and dark...

Stick stay away from the Dark Side.

I kept hitting the tether button to hook up my phone to my puter to get internet. It won't work. restarted it twice. still nothing. checked the settings and my bars and the internet on the phone, no problem.

 

had a cigarette and a few hits on the coffee. phone still plugged into charger and not puter.forgot brain was still in neutral. put brain in gear, plugged to puter and 1 minute later i'm in.

 

every day is a monday when i don't have enough coffee

 

Now that's funny, Dragon.

daylight 24/7 gets old quick...

sunrises w/ coffee and sticky buns on the veranda is a great way to start the day...

Then, spend all Tuesday morning correcting stuff from the day before...

 

Before you know it  ... "Tuesday's gone, with the wind....."

Obviously Stick is not a Star Wars fan. We may have to coax him out of the Dark Side.
