Friday November 13th, 2026- What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Don't need to guess, it's Friday The Thirteenth.

So as we go through a chilly November Friday,

What's on Your weekend Agenda?

I was thinking about the quickest project I've ever done. I have sleep apnea so use Breath Right strips. I made a little box to hold them. I think I found some right width and thickness cherry in the scrap cutoffs awaiting a project bin, made a little box in about 15 minutes. When glue dried, sprayed on some aerosol lacquer and ready to go.

Today we have et one more trip to a medical provider with Marie, but over the weekend I hope to wrap up a jewelry box I've been making. The weather has turned very late fall-like around here and it will be downright cold tomorrow, and not so nice today, so anything outside is off the table until the middle of next week. We're expecting our first hard freeze tonight.

I think my the time the weekend is over our little garden will be finished. The basil is still green and the rest of the herbs are perennials or cold tolerant. Actually have one tomato plant that is still holding it's own!

Need to get to the basement shop and do some cleanup.

Hope my email client works today.

You are a lucky man. We just ate our last 2 home grown tomatoes last Tuesday, but the plants kicked the bucket 10 days ago.

AI did it!

just spent 20 minutes cleaning up the shop. tools and stuff put away, work bench cleared and vacuumed, floor around it also vacuumed, wall behind miter saw vacuumed, and generally made things ready for whatever the next project might be.

dinner tonight with some friends (at their house).

On my bench.... I have an old Stanley "Defiance" no 4 smoother that I just put a 10" radius camber, 25° bevel, on the blade. Then honed it.

It's awesome!! Took an 1/8" off the surface of a 2x4x20 in under a minute.

Fish Dinner Night, tonight.....on the way back home...stopped for Gas for the Chevy....and thus avoided hitting a 6 point Buck on the Country Road to the north of here....someone ELSE for a change had that "Honor"

Unless things warm up this weekend, not much will happen in the shop....this is not working out too well

Unless you happen to be working right by it.....

So, the "plan" for this weekend? To do as little as I can get away with....even less IF they let me...
