Title: Friday - 11/24/2023
Post by: ReadingBob on November 24, 2023, 07:41:21 AM
Good morning all,

Day after Thanksgiving here in the US.  Otherwise known as Black Friday.  The big shopping day.  Though the impact has lessened over the years with the advent of on-line shopping and deals.  

I'm working today, but I'm one of the few so I anticipate a somewhat quiet day.  The only problem is that if some kind of problem does arise, I'll be one of the few that they can come to for help.  Fingers crossed nothing comes up.

I did get an hour or so in at the workbench yesterday.  Soon time to add the roof cards to Red Hook Fish Oil Company.

Have a great one!

Morning all.....awfully quiet around here, I guess everyone was up too late eating left-over turkey sandwiches.

Morning. I have the post turkey day bloat. Must be the gravy because I'm not blaming the pie. Getting ready to head to the F&SM open house. Hopefully that will light a creative fire under my butt..

Morning Bob, Greg, Raymo and others,

It is quiet this morning. I got up with a sore throat so I'm going back to bed.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

Tom

Good Morning All,

Had an excellent Thanksgiving feast prepared by MOH. And like others I am still full from yesterday so I had coffee for breakfast.

I have already put everything away and back in it's place. Later I have to take photos of the finished beam crane.

I hope everyone has a good day.

I'm already feeling the envy! Have a great time, Raymo.

Hope everyone has comfy armchairs for their holiday recoveries.

Well, I thought about going to the F&SM, but I forgot the open house is in the morning.  When's the next one?  i want to drag my wife there (and hope she can handle those stairs.)

Good evening!  I spent the day battling the leaves for the last time this year.  Plow goes on tomorrow.  I was like a block of ice when I got off the tractor so I decided to postpone the attachment changes to the tractor.  I need to install a new battery, it's been 7 years so it is time. Mother nature let loose with a few snow flurries just to remind me about the plow.

I really like Dan's after Turkey day exercise program.  I wish I could make the climb up those stairs more often.  It is a long drive to get to the F&SM from here.

I hope everyone has a great weekend,

John

Hello everyone, well it's getting to be dinner time so I'm getting ready to have Thanksgiving dinner all over again. It's just as good the second time around.

Hey Curt, hope you take lots of pictures of that beam crane project you've been working on.

Raymo, I'm with the other guys- take lots of pictures.

In fact, everyone take pictures. The forum is up and running again, so lets get this thing going into high gear again.

Good Evening Folks;

Well another Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was a good one, family, friends and great food. Today I played plumber, fixing a sink that did not want to stay put. I also made progress on design and 3D printing parts needed for the building I am making.

Not much else for today. See everyone tomorrow.
