October 26, 20187 yr Popular Post Mr. Moody is busier than a one armed paper hanger and has asked to do his Friday post. It is crunch time in Indiana. I’m on the local election board and we have been prepping for the November elections. Plus, I’m building a shelved cabinet that has to be out the door by December 1st and I have a show to do on November 10. Busy, busy, busy. Today I’m rebuilding a door for the cabinet because I just didn’t like the way the other one looked. The customer wants inset doors to match an existing piece of furniture and that piece isn’t exactly high quality. It’s been a chore. So gang, what’s on Your Weekend Agenda?

Yep...couple of ways...keep an eye on my oldest grand-daughter tonight...she'll be just up the street (well road) from you at Blackford H.S. for R2 of ISHAA Football Sectionals. Know the coach at Blackford...a great guy! Gonna' be a long night for her due to the distance & weather...I suspect this will be her last H.S. game...BHS is 7-3 and was ranked in Class 3A; NMHS is 4-6. Got over 1/2 the mowing done yesterday but looks like that's out for today due to the rain. Still picking up sticks etc. from last Saturday...need to clear the area where I mow next. Transport duties, errands tomorrow, maybe mowing...Sunday church...Anything else TBD.
October 26, 20187 yr Friday? Ok, could have fooled me. It's been almost 4 years since I've done anything shop/machine related. So I'm going to try (between the weather) to get into the shop and see what's left of it, and the machines. It looks like a hoarders been in there so I have to basically empty it out and start over. I just got told it's starting to rain so it looks like that will be put on hold again.

October 26, 20187 yr Not sure there will be much shop stuff going on here. I have a small end table i built and I'm waiting for the first coat of danish oil to dry before I top coat it with varnish, next up is a 2 drawer lateral file cabinet for my wife's stationary stuff. But this past week (and maybe this weekend) will be trying to get things in the yard/garage/barn ready for winter. I did get most of it done this past week...just have some odds and ends to take care of. I managed to fill a 12 yard dumpster with all kinds of crap that had been setting around, mostly yard stuff.
October 26, 20187 yr Well, it has been cool & raining here this morning - so I took the opportunity to walk y'all through an etched and painted mirror. Check it out if you have any interest. For the afternoon I am going to mess around inside. I bought a wall mount for an upstairs TV and I want to get that up and see what I might find and where to mount the power and cable supply around it. Saturday is tail gate party before the Georgia-Florida game. I sure hope we play better than we did 2 weeks ago! Sunday is supposed to be a nice day. Been helping my nephew build a guitar case. I hope we can finish it out Sunday afternoon. Or at least get close.

So we both have something at stake here? Shes a Student Trainer/Manager...1/2 Seniors...sent her with some of my hand warmer packs to put in her gloves. Miserable night for football; probably more so for North than Blackford. Her "boyfriend" is the full-back and one of the interior line-backers. I'll be watching it on the radio. I am glad to see Coach Sehy doing well. He's overcome a lot in the last few years. Good man.
October 26, 20187 yr Popular Post Today I got all the stuff in the garage in order as we will be getting our POD container delivered tomorrow with all of the stuff I packed up a few months ago. I will sure be glad when we get it all unloaded and my wife can start decorating our home and putting pictures and such on the walls. The dog is pretty scruffy and is in need of getting a hair cut. Still trying to find a groomer near by.

Sometimes Monday comes early...sounds like you've recovered and back on track. I'd tell you to do a Dew, but I think those are off limits now so maybe it's time to walk in a circle three times, then lay down.
October 27, 20187 yr Finished two boxes for the admins at the school our turning club meets at. Getting ready for a October Turnfest and Open Shop tomorrow in my shop.

October 27, 20187 yr Author It was nasty, cold and rainy. We’ll have our hands full next week. Brebuf only has 2 losses.
October 27, 20187 yr Building a pressure pot from a HF paint pot for doing some resin casting. Prepping area for proposed carving station. Reorganizing is a bear.
