Ron Dudelston Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 This has been a beautiful week in east central Indiana. The trees are fully leafed, the temperature has averaged in the high 70's and most importantly, its racing time in Indiana. I'm a huge Indycar fan and since we live in the mecca of open wheel racing, I have to attend. I've missed only 3 Indy 500's since 1965. Two when I was serving time with my favorite uncle (Sam) in SE Asia and last year. My son and seatmate had emergency gall bladder surgery a couple days before the race last year and we opted to watch it on TV. Just isn't the same. You don't get the smell of the burnt fuel and the lunacy of the Snake Pit drunks. I have 5 tickets so if you ever get the yen to go, let me know. Yesterday, we completed our part of the de-construction of my son's house and we're waiting on a local guy to show up and rip the concrete slab out and take it away. I spent a little time in the shop this week building a pair of cherry veteran's burial flag cases but all in all it has been pretty calm. Patriot Woodworkers, what's on your weekend agenda?

Allen Worsham Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 My wife and I have been getting ready for the first of 2 Garage Sales that we will have before we escape California. So I have been clearing out all of the non-essential stuff that we can sell for our daughter Elizabeth with proceeds going to her for her move to a new place for when we move. The The hard thing for me was going through all of my wood stash as I will be leaving it to others who may or may not be worthy of it. So I have one section that all the generic wood like all the typical Home Depot stuff for general use. All of that stuff I have set out for free. But my real lumber (Oak, Poplar, Maple, Mahogany and Purple Heart large boards) I have separate to sell them and get a bit of money. I have them on the other side of gate so I can keep track of the good lumber. You know how us wood hoarders are. ;-) Harry Brink and HARO50 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
