Spending hours on the phone trying to get my Mom's tax forms.

 

Got ours yesterday, wasn't going to do them on a Monday. 

Taxes were done LAST Monday...only to find out..I didn't even NEED to file any of them....After Deductions, had zero income..NADA.

As I threatened previously. This is what I was doing all weekend. Besides vegetating and the occasional nap.

 

Had 5 of the Stetson hat racks and 6 of the Texas wall plaques.

 

Would write more but it's naptime.

Those are gorgeous! Love working with Walnut.

Whats on my workbench? I do have a couple of things and was eager to start on one. HOWEVER, this morning my wife said "Don't forget you have your dentist appt at 12:30"  Yes, my first ever root canal. Kinda shot my day for sure. Sometimes I think that people with dentures are better off. NO more dentists, no root canals, no extractions and no cavities!!

Besides all the above NOs.........No bill for $1435

Most bills for the month paid for, have the last rolling pin glued up, needs some trim so it will be ready to turn.  Income taxes ($200) back and spent on insurance bills.  Helping the economy.  LOL  Rain all day yesterday and today.  Can't wait to get outside and mow.  Looks like a hayfield.  

Hand is healing..

Still hurts...Planes behind the hand?

Not quite twins?  Millers Falls is getting a "Refresher Course"   Iron honed, chipbreaker tuned up...Lever cap cleaned up...the #62 behind it?

Was given a bit of a workout...trying to see how my hand will do....Jointing a few edges for a glue up..

Hmm..that looks like it will be so much "FUN" to clean up....had one other item to try and sharpen..

A small 3/4" wide chisel....I was on Laundry Detail, today..

have one more load to haul upstairs....hand permitting....

Gonna put this in my front yard, see what happens...

Have a guy one road over that has a lot of military stuff.

Can hear when he's playing with his 50 Cal. from about a mile away.

He owns the military museum located at I-94 and the Ill./WI. state line.

He's got helicopters, tanks, planes, and a whole lot more.
