Friday again folks! 

 

For those of you receiving unwanted/unneeded rain, send some to us here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" we need it badly.

We're under a severe drought, and so far almost 7" below average here. 

 

Been trying to get outside work done, but can only do so much between 5-8:00 AM before it's sizzling HOT! 

 

 ... So, What's on your weekend agenda?  Other than trying to stay cool. 

 

 

 

My step brothers got a huge log of driftwood in the back yard eventually I need to go over there and look at it cut it open and see if at least any of it would be usable for projects.   Installed a new dash cam in the car (mainly for insurance purposes) yesterday so I eventually need to test that out and figure out how to change the wifi password on it.  I did a sample test video on it yesterday after setting it up fairly simple seems like it will do the trick for what I need.  Not to mention re seeded the yard so that's a hurry up and wait project now.

We finally got some of that rain, Larry. Was getting very dry here in south central PA

Now that the walls are up in the tin can, I can start drilling for the Romex this Saturday and, Sunday. That's about all that'll get done. Maybe, start planning the outlet positions.

Also been kind of taking a bit of a break from wood working just for a bit, I've still got my brothers birthday gift to make, how ever now I think that I have finally got a dash cam in the car, been thinking about it for a while now its time for upgrading the stereo system to an in dash navigation system.  I have a nice car it needs something nice to go along with it.  Slowly but surely making upgrades with things.  Still looking into possibly shopping for resins.  Not sure what ones I want to buy just as of yet since I do not currently have any molds for it but I know molds can be made from pretty much anything.

Work continues on organizers for this cabinet.  This tray holds 51 small Altoid size tins.

Hope you don't get the humidity that we do when Mother Nature sets the thermostat this high. 

Current temps here at 10:55 AM 87° Heat Index 90° Humidity 58% with a Dewpoint of 69°. 

Feels like the Sun is ripping your skin off.

WOW! We get hot over here but, usually 115° is tops for this time of the year. don't think Tucson has seen it much hotter. June 26/1990, Phoenix saw 122°. They closed the airport, then. That same year we were in the little town of Florence and, it was at 127°! The local bar was selling tee shirts that read "Where were you when it was 122? I was in Heaven at 127".

Trying to do as little as I can get away with.....even less when they ain't looking.   Gets about 80 degrees, I get into trouble from the heat.....

 

"WET BULB!"

 

Garage sales are nice...when you can go out, and be back home BEFORE Noon....may try to get those box joints done later....gone all weekend, right?

Wow, we got a whole ten drops of

That wasn't rain.  That plane you heard fly over?

 

Yup, flushed the toilet.

 

Sorry buddy.

Finished the "1st Vessel" project and updated that thread with more photos.  Don't have any shop worked planned and not sure what my honey do list looks like.  Rough week at work, I may just clean up the shop a bit and take it easy.
