A Special Welcome to Our New Sponsor!

Here's a welcome to our newest sponsor General Finishes!  We're pleased to have them with us here at The Patriot Woodworker.

 

Still working with my arm in a sling. Thankfully my friends son Jacob has become my new helper.  Was able to get stuff moved around or out of finishing room and a temporary table set up till a drying rack gets made.  He applied several coats of poly to 3 projects for finishing room.  

 

Kid eats 3 large pizzas and drinks liter if Mt Dew. Still has room for supper with us.  I git heartburn just watching.

Oh no, built like a tank. Plays football works out.  Think Goliath at 6ft 3 in. Compared to my scrawny 5ft 8in frame.

 

I bet he can pick up my truck with one hand and eat pizza with the other. 

Waiting for mail to get here. Tracking info says new furnace draft inducer assembly is "Out For Delivery".

Not bad shipped from Louisville KY. Friday evening arrives Bristol, WI. Monday mid day. 

Mail came draft inducer blower assembly installed to satisfaction of SWMBO. 

Got my Covid shot just a few minutes ago. Got to get to shop and work on more glueups for table and clean up . Some day I will get back to turning wood.

When I first started teaching electronics, we would have a class party at the end of each marking period (if there were no discipline problems during that time frame). They ate dozens of hot dogs and hamburgers, giant bags of chips, gallons of sodas, large sheet cake and several goes of hand churned ice cream. It was great fun and built class unity.

Got my first one about 3 hours ago at the VA. Mimi is still trying to find a location to get hers.

My second is due in 21 days. I've heard us old folks don't get too sick with the 2nd one.

I expect tomorrow will have the effects show up. So far today nothing out of the ordinary

Sounds like it was fun.  I would have been that kid who asked, can I leave early and skip the party??  LOL 

 

Dad said every time they went to a Parent Teacher meeting the teacher would comment I am not a joiner.   he always asked if I had been a problem, nope, just does the work assigned then stops.  Got tested for all kinds of stuff, they even sent me to some Phycologist for evaluation.  All he had to tell them was I happened to be a task oriented person that was bored.  

My left shoulder was sore for about 4 days from my first shot.  Hope they have sufficient vaccine for the second shot.  I am proud of you who got your vaccinations.

Same here, Gator. Not unlike the regular flu shot.

We weren't waiting but this showed up yesterday, 40 days, didn't realize they were still using horses...

 

Methinks the USPS is using 1860s edition of a manual GPS system. i.e. a map.

Yep, the delivery services outdid themselves this past season. We got one last week that was supposed to be here in early Dec. I think Marie said that was the last package we were expecting.

Customer said made funny noise when making a turn then stopped going forward.

 

Left front axle.

 

Just spewed coffee across my bay. Customer asked with a straight face could I glue it or "something".
