Popular Post Gene Howe Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Didn't get much physical labor done from my hospital room last week. Did a lot of one celled planning, though. Kinda got the shop chaos semi sorted out in my head. Well, sorted enough to keep me busy for a week, at least. Stuff to do with house renos keep interrupting, though. HARO50, lew, DuckSoup and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 If no one noticed Christmas is next week! So I suspect I'll spend some time getting the groceries together for the Christmas feast. I'm betting it will just be Marie, the dog and me again...just like Thanksgiving. But I'll cook the big ham and other stuff and drop some off at the daughters house. I will say, Marie is really taking this isolation thing hard. She doesn't get out much anyway, and not having family around on the holidays seems to be dragging on her.

Popular Post DuckSoup Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 We are in the same boat Fred, no kids & no grand kids this year. Shipped all the gifts to Columbus so they can open them on Christmas day. We plan on meeting our two oldest daughters in Ashland on Xmas day and drop off the traditional dinner for them & their family. p_toad, FlGatorwood, lew and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lew Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Did clean the shop up, a little, after finishing the serving boards. Still have a couple of cherry bowl failures to try and salvage. They may make little change bowls...

Popular Post Gunny Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I hear alot of people not doing well with the isolation. It's tough, we are rather gregarious species. Being the Outcast it is my normal. Oh and my wife just informed me she is Mrs Outcast. Same deal with her extreme introvert. Got some work done on cabinet drawers.

Popular Post FlGatorwood Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) One of my neighbor widows gave me this and I have no idea what it was built for. It appears to be some sort of gaming container. And, it appears to be built from pine and regular plywood. The lock actually works. The sides appear to be a good quality of pine. Top and bottom are plywood. Nice leather handle and the lock actually works. Gives me the idea that maybe had some sort of game components. Lid up and peek inside. I don't understand those two unusual pieces of wood. Any ideas?
