TOO BLEEDING HOT outside....have a Heat Advisory ...

 

Fish Burrito for lunch.   Maybe with a cold Mountain Dew.....or..just a COLD BEER, with it.

Got the bowl blanks in from Rockwell today got 2 of the Walnut Claro blanks and 2 of the Myrtle Wood blanks I believe.  I think theyre 5 4 x 4 x 4 so that should be a decent amount of material to work with for the time being.  I may have to order more.

Not a good day for me -- started some repair work at the furniture bank.   Needed to deepen a couple of grooves on a drawer glide to replace a broken one.  On the second pass, it kicked back and pulled my finger into the blade.  It was on a SawStop so don't know whether that actually helped or not, though it did trigger the brake.  Deep enough to nick the finger tip and semi detach a 1/4" chunk of skin and nail.   Trip to ER and 3 hours later, x-ray and 4 stitches later headed home.  I am not attaching the gory photo.

On behalf of others and myself, Thanks. 

 

I do hope it heals well for you.  Had to hurt and then the ER trip is painful while they work, then weeks later when the bill shows up.

Hello Ron. If you read the Hawai'ian newspapers, especially thegardenisland.com, Kaua'i's paper, you will see they are very concerned about containing the virus by limiting inbound tourists. Hawai'i  does not have a robust health care system. Tourism is both a boon and a curse, and most Native Hawai'ians want to get back to the more peaceful way of life. 'O'ahu might be a better place to go.

Ya know, vacations aren’t supposed to be this stressful. I’m guessing we will pull the plug on this.....again and maybe try this winter.  Getting a Covid test in 72 hours is nearly impossible.

We have coffee, dry air, moderate climate.  Drop in anytime.

Ouch! I hope you heal quickly. 

This week...took the bat project to the painter. Lots of emails and a few job interviews to try to get income coming back in. Trying to figure out next project. 

@kmealy, Heal, brother! And rejoice! It coulda been worser. As it is, a few bucks and the inconvenience of using the other hand for a while. 

Keith, I agree with Gene, so glad it wasn't any worse and you will be good to go shortly (I hope).

I am not doing this heat very well......may just sit by the A/C Unit until things cool down, again......

I'm right there with you.   was out a while ago in the 91 and it felt like it was sucking the life right outta me. 

Heat warning, DRINK water!!!  Not tons of Gatorade unless you enjoy kidney stones.

 

Good rule of thumb we used in Iraq. One regular size Gatorade to 8 bottles of water.

 

Spent 3 yrs there and saw alot of people fall out for heat issues. Some died.

 

Let's be careful out there people.

Good advise...if I may add. If you haven’t urinated in a couple of hours drink water. When finished look at urine it should be clear to light yellow without a strong smell. Drink the water over time (drink continuously). Don’t just slammed the fluids. Water is your best friend.

We had pee charts in military. Common phrase, clear no fear, yellow is a risky fellow.

 

 

Odd side note from Iraq. Most heat casualties were office workers.  Stayed in cold a/c all day then went outside. The 40+ degree difference hit them like a hammer.  Those of us who worked outside, rare to see trouble.  We watched out for one another.

Re-filling them Gatorade bottles....with water...just not a big fan of City Water.....Then stick them in the fridge for a while....

Hope it heals quickly Keith.  It does sound like the saw stop did it's thing, a real world testimonial from someone we trust - not just a hot dog!

Do you have a water filter Steven?  Doesn't have to be a fancy expensive one.  Our water out of the tap can reek of chlorine sometimes - like pool water  A decent filter takes care of that.  I drink a lot of water.

Glued the face frame on last night. Progress last couple days has been slow. Drawers are all painted and slides back on.
