Greetings,
I didn't spend any money on fireworks this year, everything else has gotten so expensive now. I got back a bit ago buying eight 5" long bolts, 25 washers and 10 nuts for the 3/8" bolts (stainless as I don't like rust on my custom work for beds) and that was $60 for the hardware only. I guess I need to find better places to purchase bolt, washer, and nut hardware items!
The LOML got me a Traeger grill for Father's day and my birthday combined. I will be trying that out today. Already set it up and "seasoned" it like the book said. So now, today, I will cook on it for the 1st time. No shop time this past week as I spent most of the time off from the day job working in the yard and getting my zero-turn commercial mower serviced and repaired. I say repaired because I couldn't get one of the blade off of it, even with an impact wrench and the shop said that it required heat from their torch to get it out. Now I have a new bolt, washer, and mower blade. All others were changed out by me without issue.
We are now getting heat and humidity warnings from the local weather service so I guess I can truly work on slowing down my woodworking until cooler temps arrive in mid-to-late September.
That's it for me and Happy Independence Day to each of you! What did YOU do this past week?
Best of weeks to you all.
