Good morning!!!!

[Joel/ak]

Actually was a nice day today...weather wise. Yesterday we had rain, freezing rain and snow. Mostly rain.

Got out and serviced up the mini x. She's ready for work now.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 11C and it's presently 17.9C, overcast with a steady to mildly gusting wind.

We'll see what 'comes up' for today... not that I lack for little projects.

That's about it, take care all.

Here’s the same area on my Powermatic 66 connected to the dust collector.

Puppy update:

started the day with coughing and green snots. Trip to the only vet open Sundays an hour twenty away. Two shots, two prescriptions, but not kennel cough - apparently there is a nasty upper respiratory thing hitting canines locally and pupper got it.

but he is reacting well to meds and already we see improvement, and he is a quick study —- we have chickens, and he is fascinated by chicken poop. I walk him on the leash for now, and when he heads for poop I have been giving him a tug on the leash and a loud “LEAVE IT!”. Last walk I did, I barely got “Le—-” out and he wa already moving on.

good Boy!

Take a jig saw and clean up the mess of a cut that is there, make a pattern out of cardboard the fits the hole when you are done and use that to cut out a piece of steel to fit and weld it in.

Yeah ... I suspect I could manage that ...

Will likely use a cut-off wheel in an angle grinder and true it up to straight using a flap disc.

Kinda have to wonder what they were thinking with all that hacking ... way more than what is needed ... for even a 4" dust port.

If you can’t weld it yourself it would be an easy job for someone that has the equipment and skill if you brought them the cabinet and the piece that you made.

I'm pretty sure I could weld it.

I think the base is actually thicker metal that the cabinet body, will need to verify that though.

My inclination right now is to make the piece for the base and weld that in and then use a separate piece and bolt that to cabinet body above the base.

Might even have a drop up in the shop I can use for the second piece, will look when I go up in a few minutes.

42°F and mostly clear this morning, got up to 69° today. We got a couple of pop-up thunderstorms this afternoon, one bringing big ol' fat raindrops with it. Been raining off and on since about 4pm, with more expected overnight. Wet Spring here so far.

We have been temp fostering a dog this week for someone The Wife knows through the rescue she works with. They went out of town for two weeks, and should be back next Sunday. The dog is very mild, but has occasional bouts of air snapping, which seem to be brought on by boredom. They had just changed the medication she was on, and over this week she seems to already be better. I haven't seen or heard her do it since probably Tuesday. She's both blind and deaf, but learned her way around our fenced lower yard and back to the door the first day she was here. She also learned last night how to move the barrier out of the way and get to the cat's area, where she found the tote with his food and other stuff, including a bag of hairball remedy which is (was) just shredded coconut. Today, she has the runs (but no hairballs).

Everything is greening up and growing here. Hope we get a respite from the rain for awhile. I'm going to need to get some grass mowed (first time this year) by next weekend.

Hope everyone is well.

Good evening, gents.

My saw has a sawdust port in that location

Good visual ...

Sixteen clams could cover most of the ugliness:

My guess is you are talented enough to add a port in addition to Paul’s remedy above.

Thanks.

Down to 43F already.

Woman broiled up a nice cod fillet for dinner along with oriental Rice-a-Roni, was very tasty.

I went up and started a fire in the double barrel before that was ready, should be warmed up and needing to be fed by now.

Placed the order for the VFD with Amazon along with some 2 x 3 plastic end caps for the fence tubes. Should be here tomorrow.

Just need to grab that silicone remover and find the Yeti for my coffee and I can head on up.

Coffee is brewing. 40° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 46° with partly cloudy skies. Got all the branches and limbs picked up and moved to chipper pile yesterday. Then watched some NASCAR. No plans for today yet.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
