1.) Classified

2) Classified

3) sorted out material for a small table and milled 4 leg blanks

4) sensitive nature material

5) same as 4

 

This week I plan to continue on with the same.

Saturday morning funeral for brother of close friends of ours. He was a retired, captain of detectives, 35 year veteran of local police department. He suffered from ALS.

 

After church Sunday, youngest grandsons basketball travel league championship tourney. They won game 1 fairly easy. Championship game, they were down 8 points with 3-1/2 minutes to go. Tied it with 1.5 seconds remaining to go into OT. Won it by 2 points to win league championship. Ended up a perfect 22-0 for the season.

 

Week ahead; TBD. Try to gain a few minutes each day preparing for the annual idiot day of advancing clocks one hour. That's one donut lost overnight.

I’ll call that a pass as you have a heat beat..

This is usually where Morris posts his Monday Threads....as in what did you get done over the weekend. 

Yes, this belongs in the Woodworking section..always has.  

 

Somehow, I got appointed to do the Monday Morning Post, when Morris forgets what day this is...

Sounds like me,

1. Field tested on a classified *********** project
2. Found ******** so made modifications
3. Tested the ********* to ensure modifications worked
4. Introduced version *.*.*** into the production ************.
5. Successfully worked ******* into ********.

 

Just as an aside, when I was in grad school, I interviewed with NSA (that few people had heard of at the time).  Took me all weekend to fill out the FBI paperwork, indicating where I had ever lived and worked, and same with all my relatives.  Problem was, I was graduating in 5 months and the whole process would have taken about 9 months.  My to be wife was a teacher, so she'd need to find a job starting in the fall and I could not be sure if and when I'd be hired.   Also, if I ever needed another job, there was not much I could say about my experience on a resume.  I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different if I gotten that job using mathematical group theory to decrypt and crypt messages.

Had to take the wife to an eye clinic to get cleared for cataract and glaucoma surgery.   I ran up the street to the furniture bank and repaired 4 tables and a dresser.  We are getting a lot more repairs now that we have 5 trucks doing pick up and deliveries.

Shoot sorry about that Steve! I'm home working my job from the dining room table, and being home I forget it's Monday! Thanks for stepping up to the plate!

I need to give ya a salary raise for doing this Steve. How about 5% added to what we pay you now?

I accomplished cleaning off my desk in my office in the shop. Son and DIL were helping my wife do a kitchen redo, I was told to stay out of the way since I can't lift anything so I came and sat in my office. Monday, I had to attend the funeral of a friend who passed away suddenly. 

This week, I get a shot in my back Wednesday and hopefully get rid of this pain in my back and leg.

Not much woodworking going on right now but I'm hopeful I can get on with a few jobs soon.

Till then I'll just pick up the donuts and follow along.

 TAXES ARE DONE!!! 

I’d like to get into the shop. Temperature is dropping and I don’t want to pay for extra heat…

 I had to do this when I worked in the nuke plant in Shippingport Pa. with the NRC, they ask for 3 references, non-family, they called these 3 people & asked about me and then asked each of them for 3 references who were called, a total of 12 people. A 5-year work history was also required.
