...Looks like we made it to another Friday.

...At least I think it's Friday. 

...It is Friday isn't it? 

 

Well if it is what have you got planned for the weekend? 

 

 

Working on a light pole that attaches to side of closet on deck.  A slow process as every bracket is custom fit.  Slow but sure. By Sunday night I should be ready for dry fit and set up brackets for the lights.

 

Ordering tools already ordered new blanks.

Working on a cherry bowl that wasn't supposed to crack after the soap and water soak.

LAST DAY OF FREE SHIPPING WITH EASY WOOD TOOLS  HEADS UP.  Just ordered my easy hollower 1 over the phone.  So I should get that sometime next week which will be nice. 

Picking away at the tool totes.  Sort of at a halt because my Senco pin nailer quit working, so dropped off at the repair shop to see if they can get a new part, and Harbor Freight didn't have one in stock.

Did a bee check this afternoon, the boxes (aka "supers) that I extracted honey from 3 weeks ago are already about half full.   Should have about 60 more lb out there and the fall goldenrod flow won't start until September 

Still plugging away at the hickory island.  The carcass is done and I’m working on rollouts.  I bought the trash can rollout but making the other three.

Working on getting finish on several bowls. In between got this cabinet built and now contemplating the doors. 

 

Then here err is a bonus sunset

 

Absolutely gorgeous sunset! Cabinet ain’t bad either. 

Dry fit came early. Hard work paid off.  Now to run some wiring and do test fit of lights.

 

 

 

 

Just for giggles I am going to put a small red led light at top of pole. For those low flying air craft or drones.   important to be in code and all.

 I bet they have a regulation for the size and intensity of the light as well.

Well, it will also tell you if you have power to the shed

 

Neighbors kid had a drone. Was dive bombing cats.  One of the larger cats took offence and swatted it to the ground. Once down they killed it.

 

He told me about it. Even showed me video. Asked would I pay for the damaged drone.  I'm, NO.  

Rust hunting Friday....box of papers...

And...

But wait...there's MORE!

$15 for the box full

Might come in handy.....

After the first 3 days of rain this week, got out on Thursday, mowed, trimmed and edged lawn, power washed drive way and sidewalk and the van, power washed the wooden ramps where Ann gets in and out of the house.  Have finalized the design to the 2 squirrel boxes.  Ugh!  Had my hearing test done and I have no appreciable hearing loss for the past 13 years.  Domestic duties are done but I have to run the dishwasher tonight.  That's going to be tough.

 

Gerald, that is an absolutely beautiful sunset.  It appears that the Creator was playing with His painting kit again.    

 

Gunny, are you going to ground that piece of steel?  It appears to be a great lightening rod.  Otherwise, a fantastic job.

Thanks, and good point.  Yes, I have a piece of grounding rod someone gave me to drive into the ground then attach a wire to it.  

Did a test fit and light placement test this evening.  Pretty satisfied with results. Used three 20 watt LED floodlamps and one 30 Watt LED floodlamp.  

 

No lights

 

  

 

 

 

Lights ON.

Gunny I think you joshing us. That has got to be a daylight photo.

 

Want to come down and do mine. Unless that causes the alarms to go off at the Springfield nuclear plant.

You mean to tell us you get all that sunlight from 90 watts?  Wow, I now know that is what I am going to put in my garage.  Thank you for showing us.
