John Moody is on the road today so I’m filling in.  Last weekend, we did a large holiday show on Saturday.  It was a 7 hour show with 168 vendors and over 2700 people came through the doors.  We did very well at the show AND I was able to get a piece delivered this week that I had been building. Right now I'm building 6” cheese boards since I sold 32 of them last Saturday.  Tomorrow we have a charity auction to attend and rest on Sunday.   

So, what’s on your weekend Agenda?

doing quarterly shopping...

Ron did you have a industrial buyer. 32 cheese boards sounds like an astronomical number. I did the best I have every done on sales last week at our club demo at the MS Ag & Forestry Museum. This week putting finishing touches on my relocated turning station . Yesterday finally after 2 months trying  got drawers in a new chest unit to house turning tools that were on the wall (no wall in new location). Now working on Christmas Angel ornaments for our booth. Final Picture later.

We did a show special on the boards and almost sold out.  Ladies were carrying them out by the arm loads.

Nice display Ron. Glad you did well. Certainly had the foot traffic for a good show.

Grand-daughters have an away swim meet tomorrow morning but close enough, I'll make the trip. We'll go out for lunch afterwards. Their mom has scheduled sports activities at the Boys & Girls Club so can't attend.

 

Weather forecast for Sunday AM will determine church services and remainder of the day. 

continuing work on drawer cabinets (3 cabinets, 4 drawers each).  need to cut the drawer bottom dados to fit the 3/16" masonite i just got.  then edge band the tops of all the drawer parts (ugh), then cut the bottom pieces to size, pocket hole drill the fronts and backs, assemble the drawers, wait for the glides to arrive, then mount the drawers in the cabinets, then make the drawer fronts and edge band them too (ugh #2), wait for the pulls, mount the pulls, and then transport the whole mess up to the house and install it.

 

sounds like work to me.

 

and then do the top to the whole mess - 6x24 ceramic tiles on concrete board (need one sheet, have some in hand), and lastly, grout it.

 

boss says it has to be done by Dec. 1, so she can place Christmas decorations all over it.  yay.

Depends on the weather, it's that time of year again. 

Lot's to do, but good old Mother Nature's giving us an early whammy with the wet/cold. Yuck!

Waiting on hardware for sister's church project.

 Working on the shelve to finish the Franken desk. Shopped for the essentials needed for Thursdays dinner, don't want to be around all the crazies in the stores this weekend. Pick up a fresh bird on Tuesday and be ready for 8 hours of prep & cooking and 30 minutes of eating.

You got it! 

 

When I was in Detroit for apprenticeship training they had a catering service that provided breakfast and lunch, the first day the guy that ran the catering service made a remark that everybody that ate there gained about 20 lbs. during their 6 week stay. I said your about to have your record destroyed, my wife has been trying to put a few lbs. on me for years. Another guy from the Kenosha group commented "I've seen this guy eat, I gain weight just watching him eat." The caterer said he didn't believe that and would wait and see. The first time I went through the smorgasbord type line I told him that I'll wear the same pants the last day so he could see. I was one of 2 guys that would do 2nd's, and 3rd's the whole time. At the end of the 6 weeks I did, but the other guy couldn't. The caterer was somewhat taken back, but told the one that made the comment about watching me eat "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it." I shrugged, smiled and walked away. I'm still 6'3" and 155 lbs. my wife gave up long ago.
