Friday again folks.

Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" it will be day 9 of Black_Cloud with the possibility of severe storms later again today.

We've already set a new record for April rain totals with almost half of the month left to go.

So, as we wait to see what happens,

Yard/garden stuff. It may be raining tomorrow so that would put me in the shop. But today should be nice so I'll get done what i can. Just a small tribute to quality made products: I have a Troy Bilt horse tiller, a 1996 model made by Garden Way. It has a 7HP Briggs engine. After sitting all winter in the barn I gassed it up and pulled once on the rope...fired right up. It's done that every year (I've had it for about 6 years). I wanted an electric start model since pulling ropes gets harder as I age, but this one is so reliable I don't need it. Of course Garden went under and MTD snapped up the brand, I think they still make the Horse model...but you can bet it had some cost engineering applied to the newer ones.

Still waiting on a Plumber to fix the Drain Problems.....

Waiting on a clamp to get removed...

My dad (a lifelong gardener and full-time farmer for many years) got a Troy-Built in his retirement years and used it for his 2 acre garden. At the time I lived in Wisconsin and bought an Ariens, whose factory was nearby. A number of years later, due to deer, I had to fence in my garden and make it smaller. I ended up giving away to a guy who lives nearby, is a retired mechanic, and has a much larger garden, He got it back in shape and gave it to a son,

I got the bulkhead door frame cut and assembled this week. Will be installing it Sunday and hoping all goes well. Saturday is theater set build day and we only have a couple of people to help.

With the way the weather has been I need to cut the grass between seasons, which seem to happen on a daily basis. Working on painting the side entrance walls and then laydown the flooring. Enjoy your weekend.

My new grizzly scroll saw I bought was delivered Wednesday. It is too heavy, for this old man, to use as a table top so I will be building a moveable cabinet with drawers this weekend. It came with a metal stand but being limited for floor space where I need to put it I am going to loose a couple of drawers I store power tools hence the need to build a small stand with drawers.
