32F and cloudy @ 06:30, calling for a high of around 41F for the day.
Woke up shortly after Buppies from the sound of it, coffee made and enjoying first cup (still)
Just fired off the torpedo heater so things are warming up out in the garage.
Made some decent progress yesterday.
Got the bags of sunflower, safflower, and whole corn all emptied out and put in their respective containers.
New shelving unit unbanded, assembled, and put it into it's spot + plus a little rearranging of that corner area done.
New clamp rack hung and clamps moved over from the pegboard.
And the resultant empty space on the pegboard promptly filled up ...
Wound up with two sets of shelves, still have another one to do ... if I can get figure out where to shoehorn it in.
Anti-corrosion material removed from the table on the spindle sander and two coats of Simonize paste wax applied.
Spindle and belt/disc sanders both screwed down to the bench top so they won't wander.
Woman and I made the run up to Menards and got the return done and picked up the butcher block top. We also did a little grocery shopping while we there: we went by the grocery area on the way up to check out and something caught Her eye (She was hungry) and commented that it was a really good price. This is real progress as when I've previously suggested grabbing some grocery items at Menards She poo-poo'ed the idea. Can't think with the idea that a big box home improvement store would have food items and they would actually be FRESH ...
Stopped at Freddies on the way home and grabbed a couple of burgers with fries. Would have been MickeyD's but they have quit offering all day breakfast apparently.
After we got back She headed over to neighbor's/friend's to do a little dog sitting while neighbor/friend was out of town.
I worked on more organizing/clean up in garage.
Part of that was putting up pegboard hook retainers that I had ordered from Amazon a while back. Really irritating to grab a tool off the pegboard and have the hooks come off with it.
Also unwrapped the counter top and started applying the Danish oil to it. Got three coats on one side:
Before I started that though I took the 6' Swanson level and checked it to see how flat it was. Could not pass a piece of thin card stock under it anywhere along the length, but was able to slip a single sheet of paper under it in places. Seems like the edges are a little higher than the center on this side.
Will be interesting to see whether the other side has a crown in the center or whether it is similar to the first side. Might require some sanding at some point if it's an issue but I suspect it probably won't be.
Later today I will probably flip it over and start oiling the other side.
By the time I finished up around 22:00 my feet and back were killing me, and that was after discovering yesterday that my boots only had one set of inserts in them and adding the second set. Hit the rack just after 23:00 and slept like a log.
Woman had me order Her a couple of items from Amazon the other day, so I went ahead and ordered a package of those interlocking foam anti-fatigue floor pads. Those are due in today so we'll see how it goes with those. Really should see if I can score a high barstool for cheap off Craigs so I can sit down more when I don't actually have to be standing.
As far as agenda for the rest of today goes, probably refill feeders since we now have something to fill them with.
Do some more design work on router and portable sanding table.
Speaking of "pimping out" your router table:
Possibly get back to the shower valve project.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Hope everyone has a great day ...
