Morris, you're Fired..

I think tomorrow is Monday because last Saturday was Friday

Did anybody notice a strange thing about a calendar...After an "M" for Monday, and a "T" for Tuesday...the next 3 letters are W T F?

Edited June 9Jun 9 by steven newman

Is tomorrow still hump day or did we move it too, asking for a friend?

Monday is OSWALD day. "OH SH*T WHAT A LOUSY DAY"

I don't think he (Morris) has learned that in retirement to keep track of what day it is requires you to look at your watch or phone or whatever to remind you. In my case it's my pill box every morning.

So, folks it's time to play,...

What the heck man, guys I am very sorry, I don't know how long you all are going to take a "sorry". Apologizing only works if I take corrective action and mend my evil ways. And @Fred W. Hargis Jr is correct, I lose track! I know Monday is coming because trash pickup is on Mondays, so on Sunday evening I take out the trash, clean the cat litter boxes, change the sand, and haul it out as well, so there is a ceremony of the upcoming Monday, but when I wake Monday morning, I forget it's Monday all over again.

So, I have to really buckle down and pull my head out of me arse, but per another topic on here I need to be able to find me arse with both hands first as @Headhunter is trying to get me to do. So here are my resolutions:

1. Locate both my hands

2. Direct both hands to touch me arse

3. Then with both hands locate my head

4. Now that I know where both my hands are, and me arse is, and my head, I can extract aforementioned head from me arse.

I am counting on, once those 4 steps take place (I'll work on it today) I will be able to remember the Monday topic, again, sorry, and thank you @steven newman for stepping up!

Feels like Monday. Still working on setup of my drill press. Tore it down to flip the rack for optimal travel of the table (so fun to lift all the heavy stuff again...in the process, the rack dropped, nailed my ankle so bruise and some blood 🙄).

Finally reassembled and went to change the belts to do the "spindle breakin" and was not able to get the belts adjusted. Tried everything so called tech support feeling dumb on what should be an easy step. After some discussion, ended up the one belt is a 29 when it should have been a 35. Of course, they are out of the 35 so waiting on a call back to see what can be found.

Time to go do something else!!! Said to my husband that it seems every new item (tool or otherwise) ends up with issues. Sure takes the fun out of getting a new tool. Hopefully will get the belt soon so I can complete the setup and start using the DP!

Hey John, speaking of litter boxes; when I had cats I would use the "used' litter to dispose of medications I no longer had a use for, I figured that if anyone wanted to dig through, that, they could have them. ☹️

Okay.

Time to take a deep breath.

Count to a million.

Then stress out.

This apparently works for me. I'm still here. At least, physically.😉

and this is how you end up on double secret probation.....

Can't find a belt for a Drill Press..walk in to the local Auto Zone, and ask for THAT size....or, maybe the local Tractor Supply Center store?

Teaser..

Waiting on Varnish to dry...

Grizzly contacted me and they are shipping the correct belt. With cost of a new tool, that's what I would expect, and appreciate the followup and making it right. She couldn't understand how that small belt was ever put on this saw at the factory. Just lucky me I guess. 😬
