April 16, 20188 yr Weather extremely uncooperative so little accomplished over the weekend except 3 round trips Saturday to the HS plus 1.4 hours of "driving school" for oldest grand-daughter. We thankfully "survived" her first driving experience on the interstate. She's a good student and continues to learn...lots of practice still needed though. Coming week...4 tennis matches scheduled weather permitting (forecast foreboding); Mail taxes...Remainder, TBD...Snowing, cold, and miserable this AM...nap time in a few minutes. One last comment...Punxsatawney Phil = Fake News plus Liar, Liar, pants on fire...and in the immortal words that of that great Southern American, Forrest Gump..."that's all I've got to say about that!!"
April 16, 20188 yr Got a little done. Handles for 3 bottle openers and 2 bottle stoppers. Have to go to a funeral today and get the program ready for woodturners meeting this weekend . Not much going to get done otherwise this week is pretty full.

April 16, 20188 yr Got a couple of minutes in the shop working on my buddy's gun rack. Lots of sanding and assembly yet to go. Puppy potty training is not going well.
April 16, 20188 yr Nothing happened in the shop this weekend - other life aspects took over for the weekend. We did however, complete our taxes and filed them last night.
April 16, 20188 yr Election Board meeting today and I have to build a pair of window sashs for a friend. Tomorrow is a trip across the state to pick up a new HVAC system.

April 16, 20188 yr no shop time planned. shot a pistol match saturday. mid-pack. working on BR/office renovation. last drywall sanding done this AM. need to remove 2 sections of baseboard, move one bookcase, then ready to prime and paint first section of wall. then need to order floor tiles (guess i should measure first). later will build some new bookcases, so that will involve shop time. and much later, a storage cabinet with 8-12 drawers.

April 17, 20188 yr Allen, this nurse after my knee operation told me a way to remember when going up or down the stairs, the good goes up and the bad goes down. I'm sure she was referring to the bible but always lead with the bad leg when going down the stairs and with the good leg when going up the stairs... Hope she is happy with the results...My only complaint is when working on something sitting on the floor then trying to stand back up.. Those new pieces in the leg just don't want to bend far enough....Doc said give it time. Its been over 15 years now and I don't have much more time to offer.
April 17, 20188 yr Well, I am in the process of making a silk purse out of a sows ear. Actually am in the process of building 10 wood duck houses out of junk recycled cedar. Much clamping and gluing. In fact it turns out that about 80% of my time is taken up by this exercise. Doing this as a favor my son and friend. Using Titebond 3. This will be a true test of that glue as these nest boxes are out year round. I really, really value my warm dry shop--- just finished with 12" of snow and a two day significant blizzard here in southwest MN. Works for me.
