Good morning!!!!

The bitcoin and crypto currency as far as I am concerned is nothing but a ponzi scheme. If it ain't greenbacks or Canuck bucks, I don't want anything to do with it.

A lot of old school lathe tools about to go to pasture.

Old School Cincinnati lathe, not sure how old?

South Bend Nordic 15, built in France. This is a sister lathe to the one I have at home. They are actually a decent machine.

I can understand that. Even I have been using indexable carbide tooling for decades.

Free, slightly used projection TV. Some assembly required

Just gotta cut up the plastic. Nice mirror inside. Only keeping the speakers, mirror for now, 3 fans.

My sawzall isn’t working again. Had trouble with it before.

Save the fresnel lens if it's not cracked. They make an amazing solar oven. Outer screen is lenticular, fresnel is behind it.

I did get the new TV installed on a new wall mount and the old TV up out of the basement. I had forgotten just how heavy it was. Ended up strapping it to a hand truck and pulling it up the outside stairs with the loader on the Kubota. Of course I had to take the snow blade off and mount a bucket. Used the hooks on the bucket to attach straps, and then put it in the bucket to move it around into the shop.

We picked up 400 dollars worth of groceries and a HD gift card on the way home and accrued enough points to get 80 dollars off on our next grocery bill. Went to HD and got a Schlage double key lock set. Getting home saw there was no cell service from ATT. Spent some time on the phone help only to discover after two long phone calls that the tower is out of service until Friday for some upgrading. WhatsApp works for phone calls and Wi-Fi within range for my iPhone but wife's old flip phone not so much. Daughter picked up her car and it WORKS. She is getting ready for trip this weekend to Brussels and then on to London returning the following weekend.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 19C and it's presently 23C, overcast, calm and scattered showers are predicted. There was 6.5mm in the gauge at 0900.

All 'in town' tasks accomplished yesterday. Today is 'into-town' day for mail and Senior's Discount groceries... it'll be a larger than usual list as I'll need extra items for the lamb (basting wash) and ingredients for the pulled-pork. Despite making a list, I just know that I'll forget something.

That's about it, take care all.

I just received notice (via Facebook) that 'upgrades' are being installed to my internet tower: 20-25 Jan.

So, if I don't check-in, don't worry.
