>Ellen is out of town this weekend so I am full-time dad. Maybe do some yard work with Sylvia, I'll see what she wants to do. Yesterday she was helping me with molding, she's got good aim with a hammer but insufficient force as yet to actually drive the nail. (plus she is using a little 1-ounce jeweler's hammer that was not intended for driving nails.)

>No woodworking again for me. Of course, I said that last week and I managed to find 20 minutes to hang the other door on my tool cabinet.

Tonight is Her Highness's (my 8-year-old's) birthday party. Tomorrow is several activities at church. Any free time will be spent in the attic pulling the carpet for Her Highness's new bedroom. We got talked into pulling the thin paneling and drywall the walls instead of just painting. That's okay, we didn't really want to get the baby out of our room before her first birthday, anyway...

Anyone making shavings this weekend, think of me...

Ship a drawer pull and...

>I have to ship one of Ernie's drawer pulls this week. Family kept me going all week and I have not been able to do so yet.

It's for your ZSLWT drawer. Actually a genuinely coded hint... if you can figure out the code key!

Other than that I will be working some cherry wood for my ongoing Drysink and...

Going to garage sales and a community garage sale. You never know where you might find a piece of rust!

Have a great one!

>You are going to love this one. The spousal unit wants me to build a ramp for our aging dachshund to get up onto the bed. Complete with fences and a turn-around area.

Don, sleeping with dogs is not healthy...

>for the dog(s).

I read or heard something on that subject many years ago. Said that is a good way for dogs to catch 'people diseases" especially TB IIRC.

I grew up sleeping with mostly hound dogs, which is way I guess I married a bi..........oops, what am I saying!? ;~)

Shame on you Todd!

>If you don`t let the dog up on the bed,how ya gonna keep your feet warm?You`ve been away too long,that AC is messin with your cranial functions.

Probably goin` soft from not havin` to cut and stack 10 cord of wood every summer,then carry it into the house thru hip deep snow.

No dogs on the bed,I never thought I`d hear it from the likes of you.Next thing you know you`ll be huggin` trees instead of cuttin` em up and draggin` em into the shop for further torture.;^)

Mainely,Bob-Who`s going out to load the short bus,I see an intervention comin` on.

It was part of the pre-nup, anyway.

>Did you get any goodies at the garage sale?

Re: Weekend projects

Jack from Maine

>Nothing remarkable but I did get some useful stuff.A yankee screwdriver,a bailey adjustable mouth block plane in nice shape,a pretty nice 7 point rip saw that looks like a disston D8 but has a "payne" etch.Also I got a little pouch of tiny good quality metal files and picks that should come in handy for tool making. Those files were together for some particular craft,not sure what. The lady had for sale a Makita beam mortiser that was interesting.It clamped to a beam and held a hollow mortising chisel and bit set in it's chuck. Nothing I'd use,but interesting.---Crackerjack

>Try a six-year old beagle who weights more than 30 pounds--as wide as she is long! Snores like a horse. When our four year old was born, my wife broke the beagle's habit of sleeping in our bed, although she's still in the bedroom. Damn dog has picked up a habit over the past few months of snorting and rooting 'round, like a pig. And she's started to sleep walk. And she has always sleep-barked. Damn dog anyhow.
