60+ year old thread.

We used to have a couple, and we did the same each spring - until one winter, it got reallllllllllly cold. We did get some bananas one year.

 

@Oldie2007 that is some nice hardware your wife got. Nice work. When she gets healed let her know if it happens again it's going to be harder to fix.

 

hardwood or hardware

 

I know what was meant - believe me, I don't want her to do it again. She'll have 3 months at least to mull it over.

 

I did too.... just picking on him..... sheesh.....

 

Ha, I know, but @woodtickgreg might have got confused!
Can you believe she's already found a wrist brace.....wait, of course you can. I asked the release nurse how stubborn she was on 1 -10 scale. "10". OK, normal then.

 

I got to proof read, sometimes I don't look at the auto correct choosen replacement, other times I butcher the word so bad spell check doesn't have a clue. I read ok, spelling was never my strong suit. Math It's all good.

 

And now the healing process is started!

 

And I hope you got some extra healing going on too!

 

I did that very thing. Picked out a nice one. It'll be a nice spring project.

 

Haven't been here much as I've been working on a new workbench for the shop when I get time. I'm still part of the rat race and working for a living takes up most of my time. But when I get the chance I go to my shop for some therapy.
The emerald ash borer wiped out all the ash trees here years ago. I grabbed as much of it as I could before it was all gone. I've saved these 2 logs specifically for a workbench since 2009.
I chainsaw milled these back in 2009. I was 59 then, lol.

Ripping the live edge off.

New bench sitting on the old bench. Still have a long way to go but it's getting there.

I thought some might find this interesting and explain why I've been scarce here for a bit. I started this project back on the end of September. And then it got interrupted with a snowblower rebuild project. But I'm back on the woodworkers bench build.

 

Morning kiddos

 

I'm up, having coffee, getting ready to go to work and drive the big rig.

 

I made coffee and let the dog out
Retired, sort of

 

Tornado went through a small airport in Madison County OH where I used to work. US40 and OH SR38. Beat the place up pretty bad. Hangers, planes damaged, even pulled pavement off the roads. There were 5 total touchdowns. County is basically flat as a pancake farmland. Perfect to build up wind speeds. Glad no crops in the fields yet. Same storm also hit us, 50 miles south. No tornado damage but knocked out utility electric for ~4hrs.

 

Mornin’. A few gusty winds up here last night. Nothing big fortunately.

 

I speak and write Mainah. Anyway I write it is correct as far as I’m concerned. If you don’t understand it, learn it.. LOL

 

Good morning!

 

You were smart to purchase the wood when you did.

@lynyrd3 My parent's anniversary and sister's birthday was yesterday. Great day in my family too.

@Oldie2007 Glad the wife is starting the healing process.

Good morning. Still windy this morning with temps at 30. Just need to figure out dinner.
