Friday again folks, and the weather be a changing.

Woke up to 47° here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" this morning, might make it to 60°.

Don't think they'll get the road out front done before the plows start running which will make getting in/out of the driveway a bit of fun. 

If it dries out enough I've got to get at that pile of downed trees/branches for firewood. Better get the snow blower checked over also.

Might be easier to make like a bear and hibernate. 

 

So, What's on your weekend agenda? 

 

 

Going put a gas insert in our fireplace tomorrow.  Gas lines to run. 

Household cleaning chores today.

Gotta fetch a washing machine for my Mother. Hers died last night.

Finish up some rolling pins. Supposed to rain here Saturday and then get a bit cooler.

Rain due for a couple days.  See what's going on in the shop.

They're residents with a key.

Meet & Greet this morning...then we'll see....

No shortage of plenty to do.   Hmmmm.  Partly cloudy and mid 70's the next two days.  Might be time to go visit the rifle range just to get re-acquainted.

 

I've got two large pecan bowl blanks that should be about ready for 2nd turning.  3 pecan bowl blanks to rough turn.  One more pecan log that needs to be cut up.

 

Not yet aware of any honey do's incoming.  

 

.40

Installing casters on two drawer cabinets. Then, cut and install two shelves/benches. One for the SCMS. The other for the laser. That should take me to nap time.

I cannot begin to imagine how long that took you wife to complete!

we have about 30 of her pieces in the house, and she's given away about 6 others over time.  each one takes several months, normally 2-3 hours a day.  one stitch at a time.  she's doing a woodland scene now, little bigger than this one.  this is about 13x17.  thousands of stitches.....

On the list for this weekend, continue to move stuff from the garage to the shop.  I have been told 'I want to park in there sometime in the near future' which means now in wife speak.  If I can get that done, I will see about finishing up the modified Paulk outfeed/assembly table.  If I run into a whole bunch of extra time, I will see about making some zero clearance inserts for the table saw.

 

Got started yesterday on finishing turning one of 3 pecan platters which have been sitting for two years. Continuing to water the new grass. Tomorrow have a woodturning club meeting.

Ron, no doubt but that these inserts continue to improve.  Some years back I put in a gas insert, that first year we lost power during a winter storm and it was very nice.  That was about 2 or 3 days without power as I recall.  The gas insert saved the day, that and the gas grill.  But, even though it was a non-vented model, we always had that lingering smell after using it.  Some few years ago I switched that out for an electric insert.  Much nicer.  But then, we haven't had another power outage like that other one.

Services for my neighbor are this afternoon.  'Nuff said...

Cal, I anticipate some odor.  Hopefully, it doesn’t set off the O2 alarm.  3 grand down the tubes if it does.
