So I'm watching the last hour of the Tour De France tonight which gets me to thinking "you know, I bet I can resaw that 5' long 4/4 soft maple board in half while I watch before they get to the sprint-finish." Besides, I spent more time browsing the internet and forums on which bandsaw I should buy than it would take me to actually cut the thing by hand. Two glasses of ice tea, and some nice seedless watermelon later, and I had two nearly perfect boards instead of one! Some planing tomorrow night will have both looking pretty. Really wasn't that hard.
I proudly walk back inside and say "honey!...I just saved $1,000!"
Its the little things in life that make me smile.
