34F and partly cloudy @ 03:00, heading down to around 33F for the low overnight. Possibility of a little wintery mix around sunrise, then rain throughout the day.
Just fired up the torpedo heater out in the garage, was 50F out there.
Need to go make a pot of coffee.
Marathon session out in the garage yesterday, went for more than 24 hours straight.
Tool arrangement on pegboard on back wall mostly complete at this point. Have started on towards the pegboard on the south (kitchen) wall.
Shelves underneath west and north workbenches cleaned off and organized.
Finished clean up of Grandpa's old Wiss shears and got them put back together.
Finished Danish oil treatment on the last 2 edges of router table top and cedar shelf for aquarium planter stand.
Also drilled holes for some thread inserts in a piece of 2 x 12 SYP about 16" long I was planning on using as base for a HF hose reel that I have the 50' 8 AWG extension cord stored on, which should allow it be moved around and unspooled more easily. Still need to get the inserts installed and the reel bolted down.
Some of the holes for the bits in the Forstner bit holder still a little on the snug side, but I'm calling it good for now.
Repotted Woman's Amaryllis' yesterday afternoon. It was neglected for some period of time after She initially got it. She managed to salvage and bring it back.
After growing for a season, She split 2 bulbils off of it and has kept those alive as well.
All were at the point where they needed repotted so I did that yesterday afternoon. One of the two smaller ones:
The larger "parent":
None of them had ever been fertilized so I worked a little bit of Schultz's slow-release "Bloom Food" into the soil after I had them in the new larger pots and gave them a good watering.
Brought in the aquarium "planter" stand and put it in front of the sliding glass door in the dining room where it will get plenty of sun. Then got the flat with the tomato seeds set on it, wasn't long before condensation was forming on the clear plastic cover so I chased up the hand sprayer and gave all the holes a soaking.
While I was doing that The Woman ventured out for some shopping with one of Her girlfriends.
She came back with some new pillows, 2 more elephant ear bulbs (but not the black ones she really wanted), along with some pansies ? (... I think)
I think tonight's adventure will involve prepping at least one flat of seed trays, with peppers and eggplant seeds. I have 3 different colors of cauliflower if I get really ambitious and decide to do a second flat.
Don't want to get too carried away with getting stuff started - still have at least a month to go before the average last frost day (Apr 30) - otherwise will end up running out of room when things have to be repotted to larger containers.
Hope everyone has a decent Saturday ...
