January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Looks like it's Friday again. Waiting to see if we get the forecast four letter dirty word that begins with s here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" today. Might end up having to try to get the shovel engine (me) started if we do. Might just hibernate for a week, it's supposed to warm up to freezing next Thursday and 35° next Friday! So, while I wait for the big thaw, ... What's on Your Weekend Agenda?
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Don't know why but, I'm building some gift wine boxes. Using up some scraps.
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post They are always welcomed by recipients...especially if they have the wine in the box (not boxed wine).
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Friday already! Off to work in a few minutes, then the weekend starts at 3:30p.m. I got a tree to trim tomorrow, and an area I need to clear out in our garage for our daughters home gym, looks like my woodworking area is going to take another hit Good thing I downsized to a Shopsmith those few years back, that has allowed my family to fill in the dedicated machinery voids with all kinds of junk! Oh well, I still have a wall, and a bench, it's all I need right now, plus we are moving this year so I have no plans on doing anything serious on improving my workspace. Once we get to our forever home back east, I'll get a small dedicated shop built or find a home that has a space for me already built in. Hope y'all have a great weekend, be safe, and as the Legend Ralph Jones used to say, "keep your hands at least 6" away from the table saw blade at all times!"
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Not much planned for the weekend. S#@w has arrived and expected to get ~4" by 10P. Sunday school and worship services Sunday. No donuts thus far in 2025. Probably will be using the snowblower tomorrow; it needs a few minor tweaks yet, but think it's ready.
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Today, basking in the emerald green glow of a Notre Dame win last night. Shop time is minimal right now as I await a consultation visit with a hand surgeon on Monday. Trigger finger repair.

No wonder you back hurts after using the pull rope to start that thing
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Going to get healed up....and get the Blood Sugar count back under control ( was 254 last night) Maybe try to do a few more of these things? Just a dry fit, for now..3 more to do...
January 10, 20251 yr Popular Post Just working on a couple or three projects in shop. Too cold to go to the Ranch.
January 11, 20251 yr Popular Post I get to work the day job for 6ish hours tomorrow morning, then come home and fire up the lathe for a few quick turnings. Sunday we will be setting up our outdoor booth indoors at our Elk's lodge. this will give us time and opportunity to get some fancy "booth shots" showing off our new display system. Hoping this will get us into better art shows in the coming years. This also means I won't be covering the second half of the weekend shift at the day job. this then will end the time of me being able to say "I haven't had a day off all year".
January 12, 20251 yr Popular Post Friday came and went as the wife and I suffered in a flu-haze of nyquil. I kinda feel sorta human today but she is still under the weather. This weekend is going to be spent either making or eating soup I think.
