I'm hoping to get my bathtub taken upstairs to test out the fit tonight. I still need to install a couple of nailers and figure out placement of a niche or two, but hopefully will have the concrete board up and may be tiling by Sunday.

Going to play around with the guitar lessons some more and playing with some karaoke software and testing out a auto-tuner app for the halloween party.

What's everyone else got going on?
 
Finally a weekend with no plans at all...hasn't happened since first week of July. Tonight a few cold ones on the patio and then lots of shop time this weekend. Have some work that needs to be done by next weekend. Finally have everything I need and will get it knocked out by weeks end hopefully.
 
Picked up the select rough pine for the bed I'm making for the Dentist. Came to $108 for 60 bf. Will plane and rough size it tomorrow and then let it sit for a few days.

One of my daughters made reservations for the wife and I at a real nice restaurant in the next town for tonight and prepaid our meal. She wanted to thank us for watching our newest grandchild while she was doing orientation at the hospital where she just got a job as a nurse. It was a pleasant surprise :)

Probably just hang around the rest of the weekend and do yard work. Will also try and give tomatoes away to anyone who passes by the house. Got a million of them :eek:
 
Well I hit it lucky today. First time in my entire life i won something. Was at the local gas station, bought a bottle of injector cleaner for Lindas car and when i paid boom bells go off on the cashiers till like i am in Vegas :) So she say you won. Well suspicious old me i say yeah what? Thing another marketing ploy is ahead. Well i won 15000 points. So i ask what they work well she says ..$10 . So i said can i change the points to buy a lotto ticket for tonights millions $$ lotto sure she saya two tickets.

So now i got to see if my luck is gonna last till the end of the day :)

As to the weekend i am back at it painting :( i hate it but anything to keep my wife happy right now. Then moving...urgh.
Enjoy your weekend all i wont see shop time for weeks and then only if i am lucky.

Spent almost three hours early this morning in the dentist's chair getting a root canal finished up. (Way too early. I haven't had to be somewhere at 6:30 AM in so long I can't remember. Heck, I usually don't even get up on work days until 8:30 or so.) After a nap I'm no worse for the wear, so I'm heading out in a bit to see a couple of musician buddies playing at a lounge downtown, then from there I'll probably go a few miles west and see a couple of other buddies playing at the Route 66 Casino.

I'll be spending most of the weekend on the computer working on writing/editing projects, both work and non-work related. Probably spend some time Saturday visiting the grand opening of a new indoor shooting range. (Maybe I get some of Rob's luck and win one of the hourly drawings.) This is a new, larger, and more modern facility for the place where I'm a member, and it's only about a mile and a half from my apartment. :thumb:
 
well i had a busy day, reworked the drive way then got some oak logs hauled up from over the hill, finished that around 6pm and then got a call that friend had some fresh meat for me so we got bear steak for the gatherun so carol can have some real meat if she likes and toni can have something that i am sure he never has had before either:) fresh road kill what more can one ask for:)
 
Today I was supposed to be hosting our annual "Brunch of Crabs" celebration for us woodworking Cancerians, but got 2 'can't make it' and 1 'maybe' to the invite so ...

Me and the 'newer' bike

are going to the Mods 'n Rockers Rally. :)

Sunday, as usual, will be a turning day in the shop.
 
Well i started off good.:thumb: Got up this am and went to work on clearing brush in my woods. That got to be to much like work.:rofl: When the wife went to Mississippi shopping, i thought it would be a lot more fun to play with the new toys she bought for me this week. So i sighted in the new 22, and played with the cross bow.:D. I guess that i do need to get down to the shop and finish the cab for my ex-dauther in laws mom.Also need to work some more on that woods, before it takes over the whole back yard.001 [800x600].JPG003 [800x600].jpg
 
Nice hardware Stephen! Love that .22. Been meaning to pickup a cross bow one of these days just for grins and giggles.
 
A crossbow has been on my list for over 20 years... I suppose I should cross it off someday :D

Pruned the roses in the front yard this morning. Made a couple more mallets (up to 8, yeah yeah seems crazy, but.. I made two very different types and am planning on taking a couple of each in different sizes up to my dad this fall and a couple didn't end up quite right so.. yeah). Turned a "drop spindle" while loml was carding some wool - its pretty but doesn't work so well yet, I need to balance it better apparently, well its my first one so expected. This afternoon went down to help setup the new store lomls friend is moving into, will probably go back tomorrow and help them do some more drywall and maybe fix some shelves. Might try to get the drop spindle working better :D
 
Cool toys, Steve. Is that the S&W M&P 22?

One of my sister's adult sons got a crossbow for Christmas last year, and it took all the willpower he and his two brothers had to keep from going out in the back yard and trying it out that morning. My sister and BIL were able to convince them that the cinder block walls wouldn't necessarily stop a stray bolt and keep the neighbors safe.
 
Cool. I didn't realize Mossberg made an AR-style .22. :thumb: Looks like you've got it dialed in, too. I sure like my Mossy 500 shotgun...it's set up tactical style for home protection (or the zombie apocalypse) but I've also got the longer barrel and sporting stock if I ever wanted to take it hunting. (Not likely, since I've got other shotguns for hunting.) Mossberg sure does make decent products for a good price. :yes:
