Drove an hour and half in very strong winds to CU Woodshop in Champagne-Urban to get a piece of walnut to finish the %&%$@*&&% small conference table I'm working, and my wife and I have a thing where I call and tell her I arrived safe and sound. Which I did from the parking lot, and she asked how the drive was. I told her the van was being blown around pretty good on the interstate cuz it was empty and light. And she told me, bless her heart, "Buy lots of wood so you have some weight in it coming back". To which I could only respond "As you wish".
Came back with walnut, ambrosia maple, sapele, paduak, QSWO (which is like clamps - you can never have too much), curly cherry, and of course some wenge, because it's heavy.
