Morning all, 54 going to 78 and cloudy.
Dropped son off at 4am for his school trip and he should be on the plane by now to Florida.
Got my new truck last night, 2022 Audi Q7 in Ice White.

Rained between when I got home and 6:30 when I got up again.

Wow Phil , now that's a lathe. Looking forward to more amazing wood works.

Ron - always nice to have first cup of coffee with your great pictures.

Happy - happy birthday to the mrs.

Buppies - hope they get Hollys meds balanced out,

Be well,
Out of showroom and in my driveway. Mild hybrid V6 turbo- Got 24mpg on back roads home last night. and it has a trailer hitch! Plenty of space inside, three rows of seats.

picked up Cody from the groomer and he is all pretty again guarding the tractors

The other day driving up into PA the Van got over 24 MPG. Not bad for a van that is 23 ft long and 9 ft high and is 17 years old with over 200K miles

Phil, that is a monster. You could turn your old lathe on it.
It will turn a 24 inch piece! First project is my biggest hunk of wood I have. 20 x 6 piece of sycamore. Was very heavy putting it on there!
See what's left after the cracks are all removed.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.4C and it's presently 18.2C, fairly clear and calm.

Well, yesterday flew by; one more, last minute, sign location to attend to (that'll be the last one), then some election supplies collected on my way back. I'm all 'set' for Saturday/next week.

Anyway, it's 'into town' day for petrol and groceries, followed by preparing the house for guests (polling place assistants) for next week.

That's about it, take care all.

More deck work, fixed the end that was a little off, and got the end board cut. Forgot there is no tape under it.
Mowed front and side yard.
Got 6 more deck boards on, including the bowed one I showed a few days ago. I’ve had it on its side with bow up, and the sun the last few days took a lot of the bow out of it.
7 boards to go, only 3 still nailed down. Made a story board to run string down each board to keep them straight. Have a roofing nail at each board edge location, and just move the string every board.
Amazon delayed the joist tape shipment, all I can do right now is the end edge that needs to be cut around posts.
Might take a break tomorrow.
7 to go, 6 full and a rip against the house.

Well I got the dump/town run done. Uneventful. Got a care package done up for the company I just retired from. All 18 lbs of stuff that actually belongs to the company. They are paying for me to courier it down to them.
Tomorrow if it doesn't rain then I will be outside checking the pressure on my hydraulics, primarily the lift cylinders but I may do the power beyond on the rear as well as the curl cylinders. It should be 2600 psi, but I will see. That should tell me if my pump ($1900.oo+) is baked.
