Good morning!!!!

Hmmmm........sailboats.
Morning all!
59 going to 84 today. Need to get a few small projects done indoors and then get the grass cut before all the rain comes.
Wife and I made it to 38 years yesterday! We went out to eat a few times this weekend to celebrate.

Got all of the apple wood processed and painted that I thought would make nice bowls. Hunt for chain ended up with giving up on my 40 something year old saw and buying a new one.
Nice Husqvarna 450 and an extra two chains and new file.

The friends I got the apple wood from recently lost their 7 year old pet turkey. They gave me some of his feathers and asked if I could make something to remember him by. I used their apple wood and some cedar and finished it with walnut oil finish.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

I guess you could say I was an olds fan lol.

You had top of the line Oldsmobiles!! Bet you wish you still had them. My '70 Olds Cutlass excelled at one thing-- burning gas. Even at cheap gas prices I noticed how much it cost to run that.

Headed to 97F today. This has been a very hot summer in the Western USA. Difficult to keep up with outside chores when you lose most of the day to heat. But I do sympathize with those who also face humidity.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Good Morning
67° and a bit of light drizzle happening. Mostly dry day forecast with chance of thunderstorms late, high of 85.

Yesterday was mostly catch up and unwind. Started with unloading the Kubvan from Saturday night’s show. It was packed to the gills, with the overflow on the roof and passenger seat.

My band mates all came up to help unload and put everything away, which is helpful because it all goes upstairs. But many hands make short work.

I fed them brisket sandwiches for lunch, and started on soldering up the copper in the boiler room. I called it a day at a convenient stopping place, and took the evening off.

Today will start back in the boiler room, I hope to get it finished and pressure tested today. Later this afternoon, my buddy is coming over to help with the air handler and ductwork.

Phill hope you have a good 38 year 1 day anniversary, good looking turkey.
Nice action shot Ron.

Good morning! 73˚F, heading to only the upper 80s with a chance of rain this afternoon. Yesterday's welcome rain did come in the afternoon but just .31".

Today we will be looking for drapes and a 9' round rug for the hearth room, it is an odd room because it is a high traffic area with three hallways going to it and a glass outside door that we will just use as a window.

I used their apple wood and some cedar and finished it with walnut oil finish.

That is spectacular! Nice job ...

Good Morning,
Ct, 66 to start going to 82 or so ! Mostly sunny now but sounds like a possible rain or thunderstorms coming through this afternoon!

Phil, first Happy Anniversary!
Second, beautiful work, very innovative idea !

Had a great time visiting my BIL and family yesterday along the shore, ocean water was much cooler than our pool but very refreshing!

Yesterday morning after church I managed to finish trimming the shrubs in front of the house along with a little weed trimming! Yesterday I forgot to pull the robot out of the pool, so need to that this morning!

Kathleen is telling me we have one set of grand kids after 2 pm today, so maybe a little swimming will be on the agenda ! Not much planned for today !

Hope all have a good start to their Monday !

amazing turkey Phil
amazing piping Paul

so much talent here

Ron, it's truly fake wood. Now like trying to stain a hard sponge.
Part of door frame for bathroom, all one big picture frame.
I'm going to enjoy running my hands over that real wood table.
but also means have to use coasters

killing time before I can go to supermarket, drug store is there and I have things to pick up.

Scott, enjoy the pool, hope thunderstorms hold off
