Good Morning
21° with a high of 27 under mostly sunny skies and winds in the teens. Another day to find inside chores to keep you occupied.
Yesterday’s breakfast was good. Afterwards wife and I went to HD, she was looking for heated gloves, and unsurprisingly, they were sold out.
After that it was back to the shop to continue to clean and organize the welding area in the shop.
I decided that I want to drill some more clamp holes in the top of the welding table, there are on 12” centers now, I’d like to cut that in half. That’s a lot of 3/4” holes in 3/4” thick steel.
I borrowed a magnetic drill press to drill the first ones, as a believer in the rule of thumb ”if you borrow something twice, you need to buy it” I ordered one and a set of annular cutters.
So that will be a project for later in the week.
We took Zoe to the trainer yesterday, he is going to work with us to curb her enthusiasm for new people. She is a moose of a dog with the attention span and brain of a puppy. She is actually well trained, and knows exactly what is expected of her, but we need to work through the distractions. Otherwise, she is an absolute sweetheart, she just gets excited to try and win new people over. The plan is to do our homework and go back once a week for a couple months.
After that, it was back to the shop for a while, then home for dinner and feet up in front of the fire.
Just as I was getting comfy, I got a call from oldest son, he was in FL for work, and his wife wasn’t answering the phone. He wanted me to go down and check on her and my grandson. Doors were all locked from the inside, so I knew they were inside. But they didn’t answer. So I knocked on windows until I got the dogs attention, then they woke up and answered. Turns out the new puppy chewed up her phone charger, and they don’t have a land line.
Airport Authority meeting tonight, likely some shop time, and then wait for the wild cards to be dealt.
Condolences on the loss of your sister NHBX.
