November 20, 20223 yr Popular Post After a few weeks visit my son has gone back home to Alabama. One less car in driveway, one more toolbox in my shop. Was a good visit but will be awhile before his next visit. Off to sea starting 14 Dec through 20 April. Then back to Merchant Marine Academy for his Senior year. So about 1 1/2 years left before he graduates Acadamy. His plan is to join Merchant Marines and be at sea 6-9 months a year for couple years and make his fortune. After that, hey Engineers make good money in civilian world. Wife and I are in recovery mode. We rarely have visitors for more than few hours, never mind few weeks.
November 20, 20223 yr Popular Post Another (and finally last) day hanging out around the pool. Morning session over; back home to rest a bit. Back to pool in a couple hours. Granddaughter qualified for 100 Individual Medley finals later. Her next event though is the "mile" freestyle finals before IM. Caps off the evening with one leg of 400 freestyle relay. She arranged with professors to miss classes tomorrow. Coming home with us to start her Thanksgiving break a couple days early. Betting she'll sleep in tomorrow🤣

November 20, 20223 yr Popular Post Got all the parts milled and cut for the final patio chair today. As I have progressed through this project my design skills are improving. I see mistakes I made in the previous designs and improvements are being made in both in design and execution.

BUT, we tend to be our own worst critic.

November 21, 20223 yr I blinked and it is past. All the scrap went to the basement. Everything moved in crafting area (dining room). Floor swabbed x2. I’ve got a respiratory infection but it is not presenting as severely now. My thinking is that summer crafting + basement window fan 24/7 = dust mitigated.
