I should just turn this topic over to Steven, thanks again for stepping up to the plate Steve!

Monday, I'm home, still getting used to being home on weekdays since retiring a few months ago, but it feels good! Probably the reason I keep forgetting to create the Monday topic, back in the day when I worked for a living, had to be up at 4:30 in the morning to get ready for work, I new it was MONDAY! And I'd get the Monday topic up and live before heading off to work, now, I just forget what day it is!

Oh, Dan....I'm still rolling on the floor; 15 minutes later!

Only Dan!

I've been able to spend some time in the shop in recent days, and while I'm awful with multi-tasking I have 3 different projects going on. It's leaving me with a lot of confusion about where did I leave off with one or the other, but we'll get it figured out somehow. Anyway, I'm putting a finish on a pet urn that I've let go way too long, I'm also doing bent laminations with a vacuum press for a sideboard I need to build. Lastly I'm trying to set up a vacuum chuck for my lathe (while I've got the vacuum press out). I've made the chucks, and I turned a bowl over the weekend to test the set up. But right now I'm waiting for the last part to arrive (maybe today) before I can finish putting it together.

Nice day for being outside- 73°.

Friend dropped off a couple of short Crabapple logs this morning and I had a couple of locust logs so got the chainsaw fired up. Now I have a bunch of sealed pieces that need to be roughed out. First time I ever had a Crabapple piece- beautiful color some blue and bright pink highlights. Hope they don't fade too quickly.

Didn't accomplish much over the weekend. Spent some time in the garage today. Didn't accomplish much there either. I may give it another go tomorrow. A couple evening meetings at church this week and a couple errand trips are on the docket. Donut see much happening outdoors. It's either raining, the wind blowing 30+ mph or both; those conditions are the week ahead forecast as well. I need several consecutive days of good weather to empty the garage, clean, organize and regroup.

Worked on getting shelves ready for master closet this weekend . Looked again at the drainage problem at shop door and created a swale to divert some of the drainage away but might have to make it a bit smaller. Will be good to get all the paperwork of the new house done.

Still have some transplanted flower to get in and got to go buy a mower. Funny how things never quite go as planned .
