Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 6

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Rick thanks for opening and have an enjoyable and safe hike. Safe travels.

The morning beverages are at the end of the counter all set to go. Breakfast is homemade biscuits and country sausage gravy with hash browns on the side.

What's your plans for the Labor Day?

It's a clear and chilly 50 on the back porch with a high of 76. Going to be a quiet day with some bench time thrown in for good measure.

Have an enjoyable Labor Day!!! Be well, stay safe, and keep cool depending where you hang your hat.

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening Rick. Enjoy your hike and safe travels.

Thanks for breakfast Larry. You can never go wrong with biscuits and gravy.

Started out the day with a walk at 75F and high humidity. Just after finishing a rain squall passed through, and I hear thunder in the distance.

Yesterday I started on the new shack getting it colored, planked and edges trimmed before placing the walls under weight overnight.

Today after chores and laundry I'll continue working on the shed.

I hope everyone has a good day.

I'm Shocked!  The laser cutter that's no longer listed on Amazon's website or on Xtool's page has apparently shipped!  (And it's not on that aircraft in Miami.)  So it should be here tomorrow.  

Another perfect weather day for Labor Day, heading to 78, sunny, low humidity.  I should do something outside, maybe spray more tree armatures or try spray glue for foliage.

Good morning,

Rick, thanks for opening.  Wishing you a fun hike.

Larry, mmm, biscuits and gravy.  Thank you, Sir.

Curt, have fun with the shed.

Dave, I started my laser experience with a Kickstarter project from Makeblock, i.e., Xtool.  I have the old M1, and it performs well.  The software is very good.  Good luck with your laser, looks like a nice one.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's overcast this morning and cooler at 84F.  I spent about five hours on the engine shed yesterday and hope to continue today.  A few 1:1 projects are looming.

Have fun,
mike

Good morning everyone, 

Happy Labour Day

Rick, enjoy your hike this morning, yesterdays hike sounds interesting.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and breakfast, enjoy your quiet day at the workbench.

Curt, have fun working on the shed.

Dave, maybe you will get the updated laser from amazon.    I have a AtomStack X7 Pro that I bought a couple of years ago, while not a powerful laser it meets my needs. 

Mike, hope the 1:1 projects don't interfere with your time upstairs.

Current weather here is 18c (65f) with not a cloud in the sky heading to 75f later today.

Spent some time yesterday evening putting a layer of Sculpamold down on the canyon area.  I never used this product before but it went down good and I'll be definitely be using it again in the future.  I did notice this morning that it is still damp so it has a long drying time.    Note sure what today will bring besides taking Gracie for a walk.

Have a great day everyone.

Midmorning all,

Breakfast is on Larry today, thank you.

Rick, enjoy the hike.

I'm having one of those days of seeing who is faster, me or the slug. I am in the train shed so that is a positive.

I'm getting some photos ready for today's update. I also need to read all the other builds I've missed over the past month.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day.

Tom

Morning everyone

Rick thanks for opening.
Be safe.

Larry thanks for the coffee & breakfast.

Curt looking forward to the update.

Morning Dave.

Mike pictures???

It looks good so far Ron.

Tom good to see you here today.  Just don't overdo it.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/72.  Later on 78.
Wish it would stay like this but the heat is coming back.

I finished wall number 4 but screwed up somewhere in my planning.
So I will work on fixing that so I can put all the walls together.
I sure would hate to have to do 2 walls over again!

Everyone have a great day!!

G'day all.  Totally  clear, and cool in MI.  We are being graced by the Doll's grand daughter for company today.  Nice kid, works part time for the Highway Department and is attending Michigan State in Engineering.  She really enjoys the Doll and tolerates me,    I made eggs and english muffins.  They enjoyed them.  Me, I don''t have the taste for eggs I used to.  Remind me of match heads...

I find numerous things don't taste the same these days.  Unless smothered with goo, cheese, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, light onion, ground beef is foreign to me.  LarryC I do think a plate of that sausage gravy and biscuits might cure that. 

Headed to work bench time today, a couple of shake the box projects to finish, probably won't get that far but kill some time. 

We went to friends for a nice cookout late afternoon until after dark last night.  It was a good time.  It seems lots of folks with either health or family issues or both. 

I've slowly been working on straightening out my work room.  Slowly but in a positive direction.


Looking forward to your update, ACLTom.

Good morning or afternoon for you in the Eastern time zone.

The grandson has 4 houses left in our old neighborhood and I helped him load up and trailered his equipment the 2.5 miles. Sat on the south deck of the next door neighbor when she surprised me by asking if I'd buy her place at a fair price. She is 79 and sickly. Been in/out of the hospital since January. This week pissed her off! Seems she overhead family already quarreling over splitting up her assets and she decided she's supported them enough over the last 30 years. I told her she can sell it to us at market price and stay there renting for a price we can work out. She liked that as she doesn't have to move and family won't know until the reading of the new to be trust. SOME families

Enjoy the day
