Good Morning,
Well, the rain finally left, the clouds finally left, and we now see beautiful bright sunshine here in The Natural State!! I love it when the nice weather breaks out and the temps are just great. 40's at night and 60's during the day. Enough on how nice it is to have nice weather. :)
I took some much needed time off of work last week and spent that time doing stuff around the house and shop that I hadn't done in almost a year.
We split and stacked 2 chords or firewood and we still have about a face chord left laying on the ground that still needs to be staked, but I'll have to make a place for it. Some of the wood was hand split by splitting maul but the majority of it was split with a hydraulic splitter that I borrowed from a guy at work.
The LOML and I spent 2 days working in my shop getting it cleaned up, organized, and put up stuff that I was just too busy to find the time to put it all back up. It was really nice to get out in the shop again and I also spent some of that time last week to make 3 shadow boxes. I made 2 but the later warped, found some better wood and made another shadow box and so far, it is nice, straight, and clean. I'll get it finished and delivered today I hope. The other two, I'll simply rework them to some degree and give them away.
Maybe....just maybe I'll have time to take a casual ride on my motorcycle before I have to go back to work. BTW, I'm still riding my motorcycle as my daily commuter type transportation to/from work. I even ride during the winter when the weather conditions permit. I really, really enjoy motorcycling.
The only other thing (besides the day job) is I'm playing bass guitar at church most every week now and doing some "session" playing for a few local folks that are recording their own stuff and need a bass player for their songs. I am truly thankful for the talent I have been given.
Well, that's it for me....so what did YOU do this past weekend?
Best of weeks to you all!
