Weekend Projects

Ernie Miller Topeka

>What a great week it has been here Lot�s of interesting threads some even found time to stand on the box and get talked back down. Gotta love it when we are all happy and passionate. I love it when a thread leaves the right side of my screen and don�t come back for a while. This weekend is going to be a little different for me. I will be doing some work in the shop tomorrow but not a lot. I hope to get the doors glued up for the wife�s thing. I hope to get a belt for the treadle lathe so I can get it up and running. I had some special parts mad by a local machinist so I can use it to turn pens also. Sunday I will be off early to go to my first pro football game going to BBQ some boneless beef ribs covered with some special salts and Sweet Baby Ray�s Good stuff before the game and then watch them beat the snot out of the Texans. I have a designated driver all lined up So I will Have A Safe and Rockin Good Weekend!! And hope You do to.

>Tree crew trimming around power poles didn't clean up there own mess? that just ain't right. They are suposed to clean there own mess it dosen't matter if there was a big storm or not. Send them a bill buy a new truck to haull it away with.

I imagine that Dennis is doing the same thing, and he is closer to the projected path of Jeanne. Good luck, Dennis!

Sale?

ScottS

>Who's having the sale? I'm in the same general area as you (Mountain View, CA) and was thinking about picking up some wood for a couple of boxes I'm planning to make. If there are some decent deals to be had, I have a couple of Christmas projects in mind that I wouldn't mind buying for...
