OOPS, I THINK I MISSED LAST WEEK

HELLO EVERYONE,

 I THINK I MISSED LAST WEEK, ANYWAY STILL PLODDING ALONG AND SEVEN MORE FRIDAYS.

I GOT THE BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTER TOPS IN THE KITCHEN SANDED DOWN WITHOUT TOO MUCH OF A MESS. THE WIFE PUT SEVERAL COATS OF OIL ON THEM AND THEY LOOK ALMOST BRAND NEW.

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE HAD TO GO TO A COUPLE OF WEDDINGS ON SATURDAY,SO THAT WAS THE MORNING I SANDED THE COUNTER TOPS.

SUNDAY WAS A PRETTY TYPICAL DAY, THE WIFE BOUGHT SOME CONCRETE BENCHES OFF OF MARKETPLACE, SO I DROVE UP AND PICKED THEM UP FROM A COUPLE OF TOWNS OVER. CAME BACK AND PLACED THEM WHERE SHE THOUGHT THEY SHOULD GO. TRIMMED UP SOME PINE TREES AND CUT DOWN A COUPLE OF DEAD TREES. MOVED SOME BIG ROCKS TO FINISH OFF THE FRONT OF THE STAGE FOR THE PARTY.

THIS WEEK I HAVE HOPES FOR DOING A COUPLE OF JOBS IN THE SHOP, I NEED TO MODIFY ONE OF MY WORK BENCHES TO FIT THE SAND BLASTER IN AND THE BENCH ALSO GETS A NEW TOP. I STILL HAVE SOME OF THE GYM FLOORING LEFT AND IT'S DESTINED FOR THAT WORK BENCH.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. OH, "SHOP TEACHER BOB" HAD SOME TREES CUT DOWN AND ASKED IF I WANTED THE WOOD, SO THAT'S ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS WEEK TOO.

SO, I REALLY THINK, THIS TIME, THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

                                                        TALK TO YOU SOON,

SLOW BUT SURE AND 8 MORE FRIDAYS

HELLO EVERYONE,

STILL PLUGGING ALONG WITH SMALLER TYPE PROJECTS AND TRYING TO FOLLOW MY WIFE'S ORDERS FOR THE RETIREMENT PARTY.

PULLED SOME BUSHES OUT, CUT DOWN A COUPLE OF SMALLER TREES, MOVED A COUPLE OF PINE TREES TO  DIFFERENT SPOTS. SIMILAR PLAN FOR THIS WEEKEND IF IT'S NOT TOO HOT!

IF IT IS TOO HOT, I HAVE A COUPLE OF INSIDE THE HOUSE PROJECTS( WORKING IN THE A/C!!), OR I CAN WORK ON  A COUPLE OF PROJECTS IN THE SHOP, WE'LL SEE.

AS I SAID, STEADY PROGRESS AND 8 MORE FRIDAYS!

I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

                                                                   TALK TO YOU SOON,

                                                                                TVI

PERFECT WEEKEND AND 9 MORE FRIDAYS!

HELLO EVERYONE,

WELL, I REALLY DID HAVE A PRETTY NICE WEEKEND. HAD FRIDAY OFF FROM THE JOB, WHICH IS A NICE TOUCH. MY YOUNGEST SON CAME HOME ON THURSDAY NIGHT, AND FRIDAY WE JUST HUNG OUT, DID A FEW LITTLE JOBS AND SHOT SOME OF HIS NEW GUNS. PRETTY NICE, SPENT ABOUT TWO HOURS OR SO SHOOTING, AND THE GUNS HE BOUGHT ARE DANDY"S!

HE LEFT EARLY SATURDAY MORNING TO GO VISIT SOME COLLEGE FRIENDS IN ILLINOIS, SO WE DID OUR USUAL WORK ROUTINE. INSTALLED A NEW LAMP POST AND A SOLAR LIGHT OUT BY THE END OF THE DRIVE WAY, DID SOME WEEDING AND MOVING SOME STUFF AROUND IN THE YARD. SOME FRIENDS CAME BY SATURDAY EVENING AND WE HAD A FEW POPS AND A REALLY GOOD TIME. 

SUNDAY THE OLDEST BOY AND HIS FAMILY CAME DOWN FOR THE DAY AND WE SWAM AND ATE AND SHOT THE SHIT, AND GENERALLY PISSED THE DAY AWAY, IT WAS PRETTY NICE. THE ONLY REAL WORK WAS MAKING HOMEMADE PIZZAS ON THE GRILL, IT WAS HOTTER THAN HELL OUTSIDE AND THE GRILL DIDN'T HELP.

ORDERED SOME MISSING TOOLS FROM MY COLLECTION, SOCKETS AND SUCH, THEY SHOULD BE IN THIS WEEK, GATHERED UP SOME PARTS FROM WORK TO UPGRADE THE NEW SANDBLASTER. I HAVE TO CUT SOME PATTERNS OUT OF MASONITE FOR THE WIFE TO DECORATE FOR MY RETIREMENT PARTY THIS WEEK, AND AFTER THAT IT'S ON TO PLUMBING UP THE AIR SYSTEM AND FITTING THE SANDBLASTER IN PLACE.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

                                                                         TALK TO YOU SOON,
