@Gerald may not think of himself as an artist, but I beg to differ, I love his work. Thanks for sharing with us Gerald!

Gerald actually called this one a "trial" embellishment, hey Gerald, I'll take your "trials" and cutoffs any day!

Lady Malady loves her Easy Wood Tools, I love the slow motion videography of shavings coming off her bowl with her EWT tools. For more of Malady, you can see a small collection we made at Easy Wood Tools Videos.

 

It has turned off COLD here!  A cool & windy weekend, but this morning it is in the mid 30's... turned the downstairs heat on this morning when I got up

 

What I got done over the weekend - not too much of anything.  Did help SIL move, did watch UGA put a hurting on Miss State.

Jury duty (again) this morning.  Dental appt. tomorrow, right at mid-day, sort of screws up everything with that timing.

Looks like the cold snap will be with us until the middle of next week.  It will likely take til then for me to get acclimated

I'll get back in the shop, not sure when exactly.

 Going by our weather report there Cal? It'll take me until at least mid April to get acclimated. 

Finally finished those little walnut bowls.  Need to deliver them today. 
 

Lost my pocket knife last week. Waited a couple of days for it to show up before ordering a replacement. Amazon sent me a pack of dog treats. Good help is hard to find. 

Thanks for the nod John, I still say it is just a accumulation of learned behavior . Finished a good week at the Ag Museum but not quite as good as last year, probably because I had to leave early one day. Got a chance late yesterday to start replenishing stock. Gonna be a long three weeks til next show getting stock up and putting up Christmas decorations. 

Working the J.O.B this week.  Looking at Vmware upgrades for North America, South America, and the Arabian Peninsula  that will be implemented early 2023.  Working my way through compatibility matrices from various hardware and software vendors.  I would really nice if everything still works after upgrading components.

 

Thinking about moving my air compressor to the garden shed (75ish feet away) and bury a plumbing a line back to the shop to cut down on the noise.  Not really sure how to go about that.  I could always call Adam the plumber.  I found this kit on Amazon as a DIY but I'm not sure if it's the right stuff.  If anyone has a better idea please let me know.

The dream of ever IT technician 

Endured 1st snowfall of the 22-23 season Saturday. Just a primer at 2"+. Still had to spend some time relocating between football games. More of the same (snow) forecast for tomorrow and 3 more days this week. Shop is now closed as a result of climate control failure.

 

Good turnout for our church Thanksgiving meal yesterday. LOTS of good food and fellwoship. Also had practice for our Christmas program. I've been assigned the role of Narrator. Afterwards, I did manage to get the driving light bulbs changed on grandmas Jeep. Went with LEDs. Also had to replace LR turn signal bulb and up air pressure in the tires. 20" tires hold lots of air I learned.

 

Busy week, sports wise. Two 6th grade basketball games. Youngest granddaughter will be participating locally in a D3 collegiate mens & womens swim invitational,  Friday-Sunday. Off the starting blocks each day at 10A.

 

Gonna' check on the Buicks status today. Not surprising I heard nothing Friday or Saturday. Pondering if I should consider reporting it stolen?

Went out and unloaded the last load of that White Elm from the skid-steer trailer.

Might only be 36° out but I worked up a sweat, I'm pooped. 

Shop cleaning, last coat of poly on the Limbert table legs, more sanding and router work on the last two mesquite rounds prepretory to resin coatings. Trip to get two 40lb propane tanks filled. Gotta keep the shop warm for the resin pours and cures.  Expecting a visit from DIL and our 5 Y.O. granddaughter sometime today.

 Everything I've got that has pneumatic tires has at least one that leaks. 

 Got Bruces GM Tech2/TIS2000 Diagnostic Software to load on that old Dell D430 laptop running Windows XP SP3 Mode on Windows 7 Pro! 

 Now I just need to figure out how to use it.

Air is cheap here in the Midwest. Just hard to carry.

Hot air is plentiful and flows freely prior to each firstTuesday in November. 

Been busy last few eeks.  My son is home from Merchant Marine Academy.  

 

Lena pass citizenship test 2 November.  Oath Ceremony to be announced when the government sends us some notification.  Might be a few months.
