Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. We look to have got off lightly with yesterdays winds. As a bonus, they were a great excuse to do very little - without feeling too guilty.

I just messed around in the workshop in preparation for a bit of boat building. Before Christmas I bought some plans and expected to get a cutting list with some basic instructions. Instead there is lots of detail, all written in shipwright's language that I'm sure is meant to be helpful, but is somewhat cryptic to a novice like me. With a bit of practice and jig building I hope to be able to manage scarf joints, but first I need to find the "Chine log", "Gunwhales", "Inwhales" and "Strake".

Shiver me timbers, what a lot of terms to learn. Does anyone have an idiots guide to the parts of a boat ?

just not enough room with 2 kittens like to stench out

geez Thomas, you must love those cats...now I can see Brogen clearing the room but kitties with wind issues?

Eric, most of those terms I think came from Merry Old England. Delighted to see you learning boat building skills, should be great pictures for us.
It's the SS Shropshire coming in to the dock...

coffee dinged, time for a cup, then a quiet morning. 60 going up to 85 today, nice sunny day, breezy

26 °F and going to a high of 45. Wind NW 9 mph. Mainly sunny.

It is still too wet to get into the back yard to get my 'downed' tree cut up.
I do have some big submerged rocks to move with the hoe AND I need to grease it for the summer. Maybe I will do that today, maybe not.

Have a good, safe day all

Prayers for all in nned

56 going to 78.

Eric, we could've still called him LS. What does LS stand for, anyway?

Mostly, crazy artwork. 2,700 ft - that's quite a climb.

Happy Anniversary, Love Birds!

Wife came home from NC parents last night . We are moving them to Virginia next month.

Happy Anniversary, Love Birds!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Billy you must be happy to get your wife back. Sounds like you are making good progress.

Now Bird just has to get himself a big old 60's Cadillac and the Love Birds could cruise in their Love Boat...

I believe LS stands for Lucky Star in Korean.

A star must be a good sign, think Goldstar brand.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Bird.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 33° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 54° with mostly sunny skies. Got .31" of rain overnight. The forecast 2 to 4" of snow never happened. Maybe it did. But ground was to warm for it to stick. Should be a good afternoon to cut lawn.
Yesterday I decided that the Chamberlain MyQ APP was not going to beat me. Programming one door works OK. But getting the second door working always caused a problem. 2 hours later I got it to work on both doors. Need to delete all the settings on everything and start over fresh. Chamberlain needs to hire some real iOS APP programmers. You have to peck around the APP to find return and save buttons and other settings. I did leave a 1 star review on their site.

LS, Congrats on new tractor. Make sure you get all the attachments you need. I am sure TBN GM will give you lots of suggestions.

Kyle, rest today. Talladega NASCAR on TV today at noon.

Mostly, great picture.

Prayers for all those healing.

Drew, where did Gold Star name go. I had some of their stuff at one time.

Good Morning All.
