Friday 5/29 fairwell May

Nothing fun planned...just work. Some gardening. Neighbor had her fence redone and my temporary harbor freight 10 x 10 tent garage was up against it (with her permission). Had to empty the tent and move it to give the fence guys access. What a mess. That thing was packed full, and all that stuff is sitting in the driveway waiting for the fence to be finished. Lots of rodent nests in my cherry, walnut and spalted maple turning wood stash so I emptied all the cardboard boxes, vacuumed the wood, sprayed disinfectant and repacked the wood in plastic totes nearly too heavy for me to lift. Thank goodness my daughter is visiting and she pitched in to help. She is no slacker when it comes to hard work. Weekend will be spent putting things back in place. Stay safe and healthy, folks.
 
quit weekend . I am tying to get a Delta Saw for the vet Center WW shop. I picked up a nice Jet 14" yesterday as a donation. This delta look to be in good shape. Hopefully he'll get back to me soon. I need to get busy and finish up my Continuing Education for my insurance license.@ my age many are surprised I still keep the license but the $40k plus in residual income is kinda hard to turn down. Sunday and Monday I have appointment with vets for their benefits.
 
Playing a show tonight at the local bar/bowling alley/family fun center. We like playing there because they start two hours earlier there than at the other venues we play. That means we get home a bit earlier as well. I'll be spending all day prepping and setting up for the gig.

The rest of the weekend is open to interpretation depending on how much physical recovery I need after tonight. I have plenty of stuff to do...we'll see how much actually gets done. ;)
 
A lot of family tomorrow from 5 states
Sunday is grandpa day so I'll see kids both days
Feel bad my son rushed to open pool for family event tomorrow and temps are only expected low 60's
Even the heater won't get people into it
Very dissapointed yesterday
Everyone showed up despite my brother not coming the reason I arranged the party
Disappointed because end of may and temps didn't even reach 60
No one wanted to be outside
Only me on the blackstone
The baby ended up with fever this morning
The kids all spent most of the day playing video games and fighting over which games so the parents had to step in
A few tears were shed
So much food we made it mandatory everyone had to take home food
 
Late to this thread but it was a lovely week. The humidity was low even if the temps were high.

Spent quite a few hours in the shop and completed a winged bowl with it's own bowl from a brick of quartersawn red oak. I guess you could call it a sculptural piece. Had to deal with some chip out on the convex side from the trailing edges. But while shaping the top it cut like butter and had no such problems. How do you figger that? A bit disappointing as I expected the medullary rays to be more prominent/eye catching.

Have a good week!
