Good morning!!!!

Those chops look real good!
Got a roast of pork for tomorrows supper with sweet potatoes for me. White potatoes for everybody else.

My wife cleaned out the garden plants yesterday, so today I took up some of the black weed block. Wanted to till garden before winter but way too wet.

Kitty has a new favorite spot.

Chops look good! Did some on the grill last weekend, I always forget how good they are!

Popgadget's pulled pork looks second to none!

Productive time in the shop!! Got the pieces all finish sanded, first one about 90% assembled.

One little glitch, I decided mid assembly that I wanted to change the legs, so essentially used all of the leg material from both on just one..... now I have to cut and plane 8 more pieces. No big deal, will get them done tomorrow. The other pieces are all ready....

Once both are assembled, then comes the stain / finish.... I think I will make it in time.

That looks amazing sir. Congratulations on a fine piece of work.

I’m minutes from Dublin. About a mile and a half from Elephant Rd on 113

If you head south on 113 from 313, as soon as you pass the landscaping / stone place, there is (was?) a tree line and a driveway now serving three houses. We used to own that big parcel (30+ acres). I built (personally) the big U shaped rancher that you can see from 113.

We sold it off in 1987..... if I sold it now, would have made at least 15x more.... hindsight is a wonderful thing.... I really miss it there. Loved to go fishing up at Lake Nockamixon. My SIL and BIL live just outside of Ottsville, they have been there about 40 years now.....

Small world for sure!

Thank you! I really enjoy woodworking, only now the family is looking for "family heirlooms"..... I think they are trying to tell me something....

I know exactly the property you’re talking about. That intersection has changed dramatically. There is now a CVS, a Weiss grocery store with gas, and the WAWA has been demolished and is in the process of being rebuilt bigger and with gas as well. So three of the four corners will be pumping fuel. I know what you are saying about prices, I’ve been here since the middle 70’s.

What about we Maryland guys?
They look great!
I’m actually doing bbq chops tomorrow, but if I could eat yours I could save mine.

You would be welcome my friend.

53F and rain @ 21:00, had a heavy downpour a little bit ago.

Meatball sub with sauce and Romano baked on for dinner, The Woman had the penne with meat sauce ... :thumbsup:

Managed to get the Wonder Board moved inside before the rain really started this morning.

Also located the hardware for the light fixtures in the hallway and got one of those put up before I pooped out and went back to bed due to getting up too early this morning.

UPS delivered the tile flange before I did. Amazon also delivered The Woman's stuff ... but left it up in the mail box ... :thumbdown:

Shower valves valve and fixtures have shipped.

Spent some more time after I got back up watching YouTube videos on tiling and more tile saw reviews.

Have decided to go with the RIGID 7" wet tile saw ... $10 bucks cheaper than 7" HFT unit currently and includes a stand ... but the RIGID warranty was the main selling point. Will pick it up tomorrow, along with some other odds and ends.

The 10" HFT unit was in contention as well ... primarily because it got very good reviews, 3 1/2" depth of cut (would easily handle the retaining wall blocks), and they're currently offering it at a good price ("Hot Buy", $389 vs. $429 regularly) ... but it didn't include a stand, you have to pay extra for extended warranty, and it is about double the weight (86 lbs, big factor)

I'm sure the RIGID unit will do a fine job.

Hope everyone had a great day ... :thumbsup:

In that case, sure hope rebar doesn稚 puncture the tires.

Yeah ... me too ... particularly given the fact that the tires are nearly brand new ... just put them on a couple of months ago ... :laughing:

rs, David beat me to it.

Well, there's 4' sticking up above ground ... and it's painted with fluorescent orange marking paint ... so she would have to really work at it.

But I'd never sell her short ...
