That's right, Monday again! It keeps coming back, somehow it just keeps rearing up again, week after week after week. So folks, what did you get done over the weekend in your shops, and what have you planned for the week ahead? Woodworking, life stories, events, family plans, we want to hear it!

Had a nice sunny weekend and spent my time outdoors.  I guess it is time to get into the shop and get it cleaned up.  I dread doing that chore but it is definitely at the point of has to be done.

Did some more keys. Bombed some more gophers. Went out for Sushi. 

Today...rinse and repeat...except for the Sushi. 

Tomorrow...TBD.

Ended up working most of Saturday morning. Also took the wife around the valley showing the different fruit stands and picked up a few things - Rhubarb, raspberries and strawberries. Got home and made strawberry freezer jam and 2 Rhubarb dump cakes - one with raspberries, one without - BOTH were excellent!

Sunday - house chores, never got into the shop

hovering goes pretty far around here, practically everything has (alt text) in the function, just hover over a link, a function, a tool, it should show alt text or alternative text tool tip.

tomorrow, more of the same.

Rhubarb, raspberries and strawberries

Those two ingredients combined are the start to one good great pie...outside of blueberry pie, strawberry/rhubarb is my second favorite unless I can have a piece of each on the same plate with vanilla bean ice-cream between them!

Normal Monday...yuck.

 

Is it Tuesday yet?

@John MorrisReally like the "eye-candy pic this week...especially the production guys in their hats, white shirts, ties and suspenders...how times have changed.

 

Four round trips to the HS today for various practices/events...Remainder of the week will be 2x/day plus an away swim meet Thursday night; Also have to take my step-father to the eye doctor tomorrow PM.

Still have "weeds to eat" but with temps & humidity in low 90's the next few days that is an early morning or late PM job only (if then). Did get some piddly garage jobs done today...Remainder of the week TBD and/or as I'm instructed.
