Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

57° and partly cloudy this morning. Forecast says we'll see 73° this afternoon.

It misted / drizzled rain most of the day yesterday so after getting 2 sets of gloves wet I gave up and worked in the shop for balance of the day.

Our previous, forecast for below freezing temperatures for this coming Sunday and Monday has, over last two days been revised to not even get to freezing either day. I'm good with that!

I did get around to some shop pics, of new lights, last evening.



The "pavilion".



Outside.





Installed a 4' LED over shop desk.



This is my before;





Can't begin to tell you how great it is to have proper light in the shop. I still have to get everything back in place.

I hope everyone has an excellent Friday Eve!

Prayers to all.

I'm going to make one out of 6" pcv
……………………………….
That model work well if weather elements don't get inside pipe to freeze or turn food to mush at bottom...better make half dozen plus.

Good morning! 55 ˚F heading to a balmy 71 ˚F. Cloudy.

Yesterday was misting all day and outdoor activities were canceled. I'm in pain between each word (space bar) because the hammer became acquainted with my thumb during the pull down stairs trim installation yesterday.

I use a air finish nailer for all trim and most other things that need to be nailed. I have enough dry wall type screws to last a couple of lifetimes. They work good. But finish nails look better on trim.

That's great news, Rick. Thanks for sharing the photos. Looks like going to those LEDs was one of your brighter ideas!:laughing:

A freak break with one of my ice creepers last night resulted in a fall on the ice that necessitated a trip to the ER this morning. My rebuilt knee will need additional work as I now have a displaced, fractured patella. I may also have messed up my ACL's and MCL's as well. I need to see an orthopedist and get a MRI/CAT scan to find out about the ligaments. My knee is now immobilized. I do not think I'll be sitting on my tractor anytime soon or walking the dog. I am not a happy camper at the moment.

I could use a few + thoughts, wishes, and prayers at this point myself.
