Well with the $700 loyalty discount and the $400 trade in for my old Note 9, this phone was $100. That made it a no brainer for me.

Got my new Samsung S22 Ultra and I'm learning the new features. So far I'm really liking it.

Leave it to Naaman to have Walnut cabinets in his shop. When do the Wenge floors get installed?

Will the other 696 outlets also be within 2' of the panel?

I had to scrape a 16th of an inch of ice off of my windshield this morning. Still, remembering the 6 month Alaskan winters, I just think how lucky I am to only need to do that 2 - 3 times a year.

WTF?

Have a fantastic day!

If you look very closely in the very upper right corner of the first pic, you can see the structure.

I just realized that by looking at the pic it seems I'm simply laying sticks on the sand. What you're not really able to see is the pressure treated 2 x 4 structure that is buried flush to the surface, and further anchored with stakes. It's basically the same color as the sand and covered in a thin film of sand. The Redwood 2 x 2 slats are screwed to this under structure with 2 1/2" stainless trim screws. $250 worth of stainless trim screws in fact.

Have a phenomenal day Sir!

I have a favorite rub, but it doesn't have anything to do with food.

I had my two Shingrix shots last year. No side effects at all.

Today's project. The hardest thing about today's project is not singing "Under the Boardwalk" the whole time I'm building it.

I find mine to be underpowered.

How to determine that your quality control division may not be up to par. We ordered these windows over 4 months ago, only to be told of delay after delay. Yesterday morning we got the call that the installers would be there within an hour. 1 hours notice is not sufficient, but we scrambled and got all the temp framing and plywood removed and the area cleared out to give them ample working space. When I left at 3:00 they were still nowhere to be seen, and had not replied to calls or texts. This morning when I arrived, this is what I found. Be assured that not 1, not 2, but 3 of the companies own men came out to measure when these were ordered.

Having a Birthday dinner/bash at the DOTU compound. I believe Jeff will be in attendance as will other non casers.

Thanks all. I worked outside today and the weather was beautiful! And I didn't get dizzy or puke once this birthday!!!

What he said.

I'm in!

Discovery of the day. The $1 special, Lg. sugar free iced coffee from McDonald's becomes a premium drink with the addition of Kirkland Irish Cream. (If maybe not so sugar free anymore)

I blame MAMENSA (Mexican American MENSA)

The other 30 students in his class are just about to learn the meaning of coveting.

Fried chicken hash from Hummingbird Cafe.

Speaking of finishes, I'm anxious to try Rubio Monocoat. It's a wax oil product that many Youtubers are enamored with. I have to admit that Doug has steered me toward natural finishes. One big benefit being ease of repairing/refinishing such a piece. No need to remove the old finish first. Just reapply and buff. And the dull glow fits my esthetic sensibility.

Al's siblings contacted me a while back. They wanted to buy him a tool for his shop, and asked my suggestion. I told them to buy a Titan Capspray 115 HVLP system, and made sure to send a link to the right one. It's the Mercedes AMG of the HVLP world. Built like a tank and smooth as silk.
