Such a lovely sight this morning...

Roofing crew finally showed up about .."Noonish"  and are laying down shingles....

 

Knocking more loose Rock wool down.....will wait until they are done, before I sweep up in the Kitchen...again..

 

White Crap has since melted off....YUCK...

@steven newman you and @Grandpadave52 keep that stuff up your way or further North. Actually Kalifornicatia is good place for it.

You're welcome.

Borrowing from @steven newman s method I have used "forest of clamps" to glue this box up. No fasteners, just joinery and glue.

 

I think ya missed a spot.....

Thats great to hear Gerald! Any speculations why? Larger crowds? Buyers showing more interest for quality, hand produced items? Just curious on your take.

when we first started mostly no one brought cash to a museum. The new Director is doing  a great job promoting and improving buildings, with more new buildings coming. Probably this is coming from Ag Commissioner . Also maybe they have learned we will be there.

I think we should all take a break and go to Gene's house for the upcoming holiday.  I want to be a grandchild and besides it is warm there.

Y'all are welcome anytime! 

Well, the balloon fest was fun. But sadly, no seafood  trucks this year. Plenty of BBQ, smoked turkey, Sonoran hot dogs and great Mexican and Italian cuisine. Great live music, a sky diving exhibition, and, of course, the hot air balloons. And, a wonderful car show. Around 50 + beautifully restored and/or modified cars of the 30s on up through today's models. Even a couple Rolls. 

This to do was to benefit the regional health center and, judging from the multitude, at $10 a head, they did very well. 

Got to try out my new walker and, it sure was a blessing. We spent over 4 hours there with LOTS of walking over all sorts of terrain. And not an ache or pain all day! Without it, I'd have lasted maybe an hour.

It was a great day and we had a grand time.

Ah, that's PURDUE, you know, engineer's, astronauts, pilots, and agricultural oh and have upset the #2 & #3 teams this year..

Perdue is the chicken people.

 

My bad Dave, maybe it was auto correct?  Or that I live in (Perdue) chicken country?  Or was...

But, there was no upset yesterday for either UGA or OSU

In reality, I should have known better.  I came close to going to school there, I had been accepted.  But it came down to where I wanted to spend two winters - northern Indiana or north Georgia.

So, what was your choice?

Why north Georgia, Athens, of course!

I get to find some walnut for the toy box build. Went to a local mill and picked up these two boards. Didn’t see the figure until I got them home and planned them up. Also had to square up all the cedar boards as well.

Ditto.  Always one of my favorite woods.  

Wish I had some of that. I had a piece years ago that when I resawed it looked like a owl. Think I used it on a box for cards and poker chips I gave my sister.
