Greetings,
This past week, I actually got several things done but none of them are woodworking related. My youngest son, 21 years old, broke my ZTR mower while mowing the yard last week. Had to order all new idler pulleys and also found out that I have bearings going out in 2 of the 3 mower spindles. Needless to say, I had to also order 3 new spindles with shafts for it as well. Spent time Wednesday night as well as Thursday night putting on all the new parts. My son-in-law told me that I needed a new belt, so got one of those and put on the mower deck Thursday night. Worked a 16 hour day on Tuesday of last week for the day job as well as work a few high profile projects that I’ve been given. The LOML and I decided to take a local short vacation so we drove an hour away and stayed in a hotel for the weekend just to get away, de-stress, and just enjoy doing “nothing” for a change.
I go for my liver biopsy this morning and I’m a bit nervous about it, but this isn’t anything I can just figure out and fix on my own. The thought so far is that I have Fatty Liver Disease as they found some scarring and slightly enlarged lobes of my liver and the tests so far indicate fatty liver but they want to do a biopsy to know for sure what we’re up against. My prayer is that it’s only fatty liver and nothing more, but I won’t know more until later this week.
I have plan to revamp my shop space a bit as well as I have 1 king size bed frame and 2 queen size bed frames to build for family this year and I have 2 bowls I need to turn and finish for people that want them. I’m so ready for cooler weather and to be able to work in my shop without the temp being over 105 degrees F plus humidity. The hottest its ever been in my shop is 123 degrees F and that was the day I decided to shut my shop down every summer beginning in mid-June and not open it up again until late September. I guess we’ll see how this goes.
That’s it for me, so what did YOU do this past week?
Best of weeks to you all.
