October 28, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_206789 I'm getting ready for Halloween. Stocking up on all the candies I like. Out here in the sticks, we get no trick or treaters. It's all mine to eat. Report

October 29, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_206824 Worked a demo last week for 3 days ending Saturday and was wore out. Still not too peppy but started work on a new ornament display for craft shows today and got about half done. Sure do hope it works. Got to decide on how to do the base so not tippy. Report

October 29, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_206847 Most of the weekend was spent making, sanding, engraving, oiling, shipping cutting boards. Wow that felt like I was in that UPS commercial. I also worked on cutting out a couple of round cheeseboards as prototypes. I had to pass them the the new product selection VP for approval. A small design will be made and the get on with the run. After I cut this one I notice the board had a split in it. That one will go into the archives. After having birthday lunch with my granddaughter my son and I eased away with permission to slip into a blind and look for deer. I got a new video camera and we were hoping to video this hunt. As it turned out we had deer just before dark but they weren’t coming out till dark. This morning we got another batch of cutting boards cut out and glued and another set out of the clamps and sanded. Report

October 30, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_206988 Phyl's been in the hospital in Laughlin NV for two days. Seems a blood clot or two formed in her leg and migrated to her lung. She's on a regimen of blood thinners, now. Kinda cut her little vacation short. Hopefully, they'll dismiss her today and she can come home. Won't know till a doctor sees her so She just called...she's been paroled!!! Everything is good. Report

October 31, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_207069 She made it home, seemingly no worse for wear. She's a tough old bird. I think she's going to need a few days of rest, though. Edited October 31, 20196 yr by Gene Howe Report
November 1, 20196 yr comment_207191 John Moody, really neat cutting boards. Just wondering if you can saw out that crack, glue it and trim it back to fit into the rest of the board. John Morris, thanks for another great thread. Gene, so glad that Phy was paroled. That was a serious crime. So glad she is home and doing well. That is stressful for you as well. Report
