Good morning!!!!

Yeah ... the point of my post wasn't that it was "just TX".

It was that what appears to us to be the case - as a consequence of our own observations - isn't always reflective of the actual overall situation.

What we observe is necessarily limited ... just by what we are looking at.

My observations - locally - are that people are generally compliant.

That doesn't mean there aren't a crapload of people around here in my area - that I'm not seeing - that are non-compliant with proper mask usage.

Simply a matter of sample size (what we see vs. what we don't)

There is no shortage of stupid in America (meaning people who refuse to mask up and socially distance)

I certainly agree with that, I see it everyday. I don’t have much patience with people lacking common sense.

This cat loves surfing - YouTube

There you go RS. The cute tweet minus all the politics.

There were no politics ... provided one just focused on the tweet I actually linked ...

Silly Texans ... they really have to try oh so hard at being offended ...

Glad you found a safe space though ... :thumbsup:

:laughing:

I had a cat named Yoda, about 8lbs, he played in puddles after a rain and he walked on a leash like a dog would.

Lookin good Drew. So now the Drew improved model
Maybe instead of screws, well glued biscuit joints?

interesting...just spent some time watching biscuit joinery on YouTube, plus use of "dominos".
I like the dominos better but way too expensive a tool for me, probably because Festool is price gouging due to having the patent on it.

Biscuits do not seem to add a lot of strength while screws do. But we both know that a modern glue like Titebond is stronger than
the wood fiber itself, so if properly glued, technically you don't need screws anyway. Using screws means you can keep going and finish the piece
as the glue dries. Using biscuits seems to mean you need to keep it clamped til morning.

Biscuits appear most useful for joining boards making table tops and for aligning parts. Nice thing is a biscuit joiner is a cheap tool
Biscuit Joiner at Grizzly.com

I think if I keep at this, and I do enjoy woodworking, it would make a nice addition to my tool mix. Probably ought to learn how to make a dado first...
and how to use a router. Lot to learn. And I definitely need a dust collection system first...

My FIL is going in the hospital for a day in 2 weeks to get checked for an ulcer, and to get a colonoscopy too, while he's under. I told him to tell the doctor to clean the scope in between...

Good thinking!
