Morning all, 

Yesterday's plumbing project ended up, surprisingly, being a success. But it took longer than anticipated and killed any motivation to hit the workbench. 

Just came back from breakfast with friends so next up is yard work. Yuck.

Have a great one!

Morning all,

Happy Canada Day to those up North!

Currently 81, feels like 94, and heading to 89 down here in Central Florida. Rain expected this afternoon. I got my morning walk in first thing this morning and worked up quite a sweat in the process.

A few chores to deal with today. Already replaced the A/C filter. Now to deal with a cantankerous faucet in the bathroom. Hopefully I can find the part I need for it but I'm not going to hold my breath. I the whole thing needs to be replaced it'll be more challenging.

Maybe some workbench time afterwards.

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Well, I spent my afternoon booking next June's river cruise. It'll start with a couple of days in Lucerne before we head to the boat in Basel. The last stop will be in Nuremberg. My better half and I wished each other Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Anniversary, Happy Mothers Day and Happy Fathers Day when we were done.

Jim, I built that engine house for Cuse several years ago. The biggest problem I recall running into was the large door warped slightly when the layers were glued together. 

Have a great one!

Morning all,

Another great picture, Raymo! Thanks.

We went through the drive up lane at Panera this morning where we were treated to our a free breakfast courtesy of the driver in front of us who had paid for our order. Nice way to start a pleasant Sunday. 

I hope to spend some quality time at the workbench this afternoon. 

Have a great one!

Agreed. Looks like a home run to me as well.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread, but it sure looks intriguing.  I'm loving what I'm seeing so far.

Morning all,

Thanks for the FSM photos, Dan! Always appreciated.

Warming up outside but they're calling for thunderboomers this afternoon. No problem. I'll stay inside and get some workbench time in this afternoon. Tonight is game night at our friends house.

Have a great one!

Morning all,

Did my walk first this this a.m. before it heated up too much. Heading out the grocery store in a few minutes. Workbench time this afternoon. Haircut and dinner with friends this evening. It's a busy day. 

Have a great one!

Morning all,

I hope that leg is doing better, Tom!

Not too much going on here today. I got my walk in early. Now the rest of the day is mine so maybe I'll get back at the Gunsmith shop and make some progress there.

Normally I don't attach pictures this way, so we'll see if this works. It's a railway tunnel portal along the Rhine River.

Have a great one!

Here's my little set up, Karl.



the camera is an old Sony Cybershot. It has buttons on the back. By feel, I know which one triggers the time delay for the shutter. If I swapped it out for my newer (but still old) camera there wouldn't be any buttons on the back, and I'd probably have to pick it up every time to turn on the time delay.

No, nobody bit on my t-shirt question.  Here's the answer:

In Better Call Saul, Jimmy McGill (who becomes the eponymous Saul Goodman) transforms his life via a correspondence law degree from the University of American Samoa. McGill uses the degree to scrape his way into increasingly creative and lucrative transgressions, never unduly troubled by his legal and ethical obligations.

As Jesse Pinkman put it - "You don't want a criminal lawyer... you want a 'criminal' lawyer,"

Thanks, Butty! I need to get back at this one. I'm looking ahead to what's next but can't get there until this one has been completed. 

Afternoon all,

The pups look cute, Dave. 

Had a nice visit with Cuse today.  I got to see what he's been up to lately.  Now I just need a little nudge towards the workbench.

Have a great one!

Coming along nicely,  Dave! Love the workers and bosses. They'll add so much to the effect.

Very nice indeed! Looks great.  

Morning all,

Gotta run to the Doc's office, shortly, to learn how to give myself a shot. I've never stuck myself. At least not intentionally. 

Hope to get some mojo up this afternoon and sit down at the workbench.

Have a great one!
