Popular Post John Morris Posted November 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Good Monday morning! Good Monday morning Patriot Woodworkers! What did you get done over the weekend, and what have you planned for the week ahead! Inquiring minds want to know. Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! Welcome new members To view our newest members and welcome them to our digs, please see our Members Page, you can "Sort" by join date and click on their names and be taken to their profile page where you can leave a message of welcome. Thank you for making our newest folks feel welcome. Community news As you all know by now we are in the midst of our annual Adopt a Wounded Warrior Family for Christmas Project 2020. I have already started the purchase of the kids gifts and we are more than a quarter of the way to our goal for the fundraiser! Though the project ends on New Years Eve, we'd like to have the goal reached by mid December, I am going to front the proceeds up to $2000.00 in hopes that by the end of the year, we'll have met that goal, for my comfort level though it'd be nice to see that goal met earlier, so I'm counting on you all to get the word out to your friends, co-workers, and within your other social media and forum arenas, and let em all know they can make some kids happy this year for Christmas. One thing I had not thought of was that we are in the midst of the Covid19, so that is going to have an impact on donations, many folks are out of work or low on funds, so our fundraising for this project may fall short. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all the help many of you have provided for our Christmas project, past and future. If you have not yet donated, and wish to do so, head on over and meet the family and contribute today! Community update We changed servers again, and in the process we acquired more memory and server space, to do this we dipped into the funds raised from our Summer Raffle, you all may notice our site running much smoother and faster! We also recently had a core software update and our theme developer fixed some issues we had with the updates. There are also some pretty neat new things going on with our theme and how you view our community. Please see screen shot below and the two icons circled in red. Click on the icon on the left, and you'll be able to choose some nifty backgrounds for your viewing. Also there are two items I think many here will find are pretty cool, if you enable "Fluid Width" you'll be able to change our community view to full screen. If you enable "Larger font size for posts" you'll be able to view the text in a larger font within the topics, for our sight challenged folks, like me . Now click on the paint brush icon, we have always had the paint brush icon, here you can choose the main colors of your community view, play around with it, it's kind of fun! That's it from me this morning folks, running late and gotta run to work, have a wonderful week ahead, and thank you for being here!

Popular Post Fred W.

There won't be any guests this year, but we (I) still need to get it done. Gunny, HARO50, lew and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range time is always a good option!!! I work part-time in a Range/retail gun store. I get to shoot a little bit almost everyday. Sometimes it's shooting someone guns and ammo to sight in a scope or optic. Love the smell of burnt gun powder!

Popular Post Gunny Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 My boss loves biscuits and gravy. Sends our shop apprentice out for it every morning. So I took some #20 biscuits and poured glue over them and left on covered plate. With note, eat more fiber.
