...You guys with the decent warmer temperatures don't want to share with us. 

But we're more than willing to share our nasty cold temperatures with you. 

See how we are?

Yes I can see you are so giving. 44 here now and supposed to get to upper 50's and maybe even 70 for New Years. There is a hour for sale across the street if you get tired of all that coooold.

I'm sure @HandyDan,  @lew, @Al B, and @Artie would be more than willing to send a few inches of SNOW your way. 

Colder than a Siberian  Bat's rearend.....was 13 above zero this morning....headed for 20....WAS going car shopping today....it can wait until Monday.....until then, I just putter around with a few pieces of Cedar...

 

White Christmas?    It is SOOOooooo over-rated.....snow is considered a bad 4-letter word...

Actually, we "lucked out" got 3" of rain instead of snow. The rain got rid of most of the snow we had on the ground.

@Gerald,

Add @steven newman to that list.

Got a 10 or 11 inch poplar bowl blank glued up and about ready to go I'm thinking about trying out a mortise with this go around so I don't have to figure out how I'm going to cut off the tenon when all is said and done.  I've never really done a mortise before so that should be an interesting trial run.

Just try and size the opening so that that the chuck is almost closed completely when fitted into the mortice. That way you'll get the most contact on the jaw surfaces when it is opened to hold the piece.

That makes plenty of sense to me....

Send it via the Blackfoot reservation it straddles the border. 

Temperatures in the 60's and about 2" of rain has wiped out 12" of snow. All on Christmas day. Below freeing today.

Hey!  How did you get my picture?  That is supposed to be private.  LOL

We had a good Christmas, all our kids home, and now is the day after Christmas, all has settled down, you know, this may be my favorite part of the Holiday Season, the day after, everyone is settled down, the hype is over, and we have leftovers to eat, and a sense of calm and feeling lazy.

Hope ya'll had a great Christmas!

Didn't know I had a doppelganger.

So you're getting his and hers Lexuses, GMCs, Chevies, Audis, Kias, Toyotas, or whatever else they're pitching for Christmas presents?   (But I have heard end of year is a really good time to buy a new car so the dealership gets their incentives/discounts from mfr.)

The wife has been fretting about the 15 degree or so temps we've had.   I had to remind her that when we lived in Wisconsin, there were always one or two weeks a year where the high for the week was about -5 and the low could be -20  (one year we had -30 with -70 wind chill).  All the cars had little electric plugs hanging out their grills.
