Friday Folks Might actually get a dry weekend here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" If so, I'll be out in the yard trying to do some cleanup. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again folks. Have to run the car in for emission testing today, other than that waiting to see if the yard dries up enough to go out and do some yard work. Have several areas of standing water so I doubt it will dry up enough today. Other than that, I've been going through a few boxes of computer parts to see what I've got to upgrade one of those laptops that I'm loading Linux on. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Recruit Update We got our first call from our son from Army In-processing at Ft Jackson SC yesterday afternoon. He got his buzz cut, his uniforms, his TA-50 (web gear and belts etc), pictures (he said he looked stupid LOL), and medical and shots. He said the food wasn't bad, but Friday they had the best food he'd seen at the chow hall yet since he got there, smoked meats, BBQ, and he was bummed out because he's observing Fish Fridays for Lent! So he had fish. He told us they'll be transferred to their basic training barracks today (Monday the 31st). We'll get one more call once he's there, that'll be the short call, the report-in to let mama and dad know he's safe and in the care of those lovely drill instructors. Such an adventure!

Featured Download Featured Video I was captivated by this video, it has it all, the craft, the man, the music. Grab a cup of coffee and get into a serene mood and watch this classic. I love it. I am not sure where this man lives, possibly Australia, you'll see him use second hand lumber for a few of the boat components, he even scavenges the shoreline at low tide for boat wrecks and pulls some lumber and hardware off those washed up wrecks to build this boat. He doesn't get too wound up with perfection, but the boat is perfect in every way. Have fun!

Looks like it's Friday again folks. Still waiting on WeEnergies tree cutting crew to take down the last two trees they want removed. Wish they would get done so I can get the area where they'll be working cleaned up for some spring planting. It's supposed to rain most of the weekend here, so I doubt they'll be here today. It's raining now. So, while I wait out the storms I'll be going through a box of laptop/notebook computers I was given a while back to see what is salvageable. So far three out of the five I've checked are still usable just not for Windows 11. Two of those will need batteries but run off the chargers. So, while I go about that, What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Looks like another Friday snuck up on us. Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" we're waiting to see how much of that frozen four letter word we'll be getting this evening through tomorrow. Other than that I'll be doing "A Whole Lot Of Nothing" which means I won't know when I'm done. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

If you'd like to follow along our journey. here's where it all started. 😉

Friday again folks. Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" We Energies decided they didn't have enough of our trees "trimmed back". After finding out what they wanted to do to our other "BIG" Oak (34" diameter trunk, 65' tall) I told them to take it all the way down. I simply don't like the look of a tree when they totally cut one side completely off. So after three days of cutting, it's down. Managed to move a good portion of it late yesterday afternoon. They also took down the last front row Mulberry, and a small Locust tree yesterday. They will be coming back to take down a dead Hop-Hornbeam (Ironwood) and the neighbors rather large Maple tree (~60') in the next few days. They were basically going to cut all of one side of Bruces Maple and he told them if you're taking that much to just take it down also as he doesn't like the looks of a half tree also. I'll have to move quite a bit of the plantings we put in last year in our Butterfly Chaos Garden, so they don't get crushed when they go after the Ironwood. So that's my weekend plans. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again Folks! Managed to survive the cold spell here "Two Weeks From Anywhere", we may actually warm up to freezing Sunday. Actually, can't complain though after seeing what other parts of the country have had weather wise the past couple of weeks. So until Sunday I'll be making like the Groundhog staying warm in his cozy den. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again folks. Been a rather strange first month of 2025 here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" with setting record high temperatures and possibly being the dryest January recorded. (Depends upon how much rain we get today. We're currently at .14" versus the 1988 record of .15" of precipitation for the month.) Yesterday we set a new record high temp of 53 Sunny degrees which had me out spreading more woodchips along the paths going through the yard. My shoulder is letting me know I should have quit earlier today. So, while I sit here giving my shoulder a break and wait to see how much rain we end up with, ... What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Featured Link Featured Video Our friends at Mortise and Tenon Magazine are embarking on a new-to-them area of the craft, Blacksmithing for Woodworkers. Coincidentally this is something I've been interested in for the past year and have gone as far as purchasing an anvil, tongs, hammer, etc. I just need to construct a dirt box forge to get going. My ultimate goal is to make my own 18th century style hinges and latches and fire place tools-set and more. Mainly though I'd love to be able to hand build some case work and install my very own hand forged rat tail hinges and other forged hardware. I may be looking into this class offered by M&T, I think it'd be a good class to have under my belt as it's blacksmithing from the perspective of a woodworker. I'm currently a member of ABANA and picking up as much book learning as I can from that, and eventually hands on training once I get to our final retirement destination later this year. Cool video though! Watch how he makes a nail.
