Good morning!!!!

[CWB Wyo]

The low was 45° this morning, we did get some rain like LS yesterday about one drop every 8 inches. Looks like today is going to be the same as yesterday in the mid 80's and 20% chance of showers. They have put out a fire weather warning for today.

Farmer ... nice truck hope it works out for you.
Ed ... Have fun working with your new lathe.

Not much going on today.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Our windows make a big thump when a hummingbird hits them. I hope sand hill cranes know they can’t fly through glass.

Ed, enjoy setting up your new to you lathe.

Quick quick, slow slow.

Can one do everything on the metal lathe with wood that you can do on a wood lathe?

My lathe came with all the tools to do wood working. But I have never done it. I have made many items out of plastic. But that is machined similar to metal.

I've seen kits with chisels and tool rests and face plates, so I assume so.

Mine is covered in lubricant and the pan is always full of metal chips, and it would be a pretty big PITA to clean it all up so the sawdust wouldn't stick to everything, though.:laughing:

Just finished mowing this thick wet stuff, third time in 8 days. Humidity is back today.
Have a good one guys, God bless.

And it was so dry for so long, and then rain for 6 days in a row, that I haven't done any mowing at all in almost a month (July 18), and now it's in dire need of mowing, so I figure on starting about daylight in the morning. I do the string trimming and edging first. And the NWS says to expect 78 degrees going for 97 tomorrow, so I hope to get done by the time it gets to 90 degrees. Or I might do the string trimming and edging on our yard and the one next door tomorrow and maybe wait another day before using the mower.:laughing:
