Don, when I was a kid we cut our tree, a cedar, about 8-10 days before Christmas and decorated it about a week before. Used those big bulbs, if one went out, they all went out.
Wouldn’t it be great to have an hour as child on Christmas morning?

28°F and mostly clear skies this morning, going up to 57° today.

Am I having a senior moment or has PJ been missing for a while?

Nope, you haven't gotten rid of me yet. :D I don't usually pop in here much over the weekends, as my Wife usually keeps me entirely too busy for much weekend internetting. The honey-do list never gets any shorter.

I did pop in here briefly Saturday morning while at work. Only had to donate about 3-1/2 hours, so not bad at all. Company Xmas party that night was quite fun. We had it at a restaurant in just south of downtown St. Louis called SqWire's, so named because it's an old converted wire factory in the Lafayette Square neighborhood. Fun place and pretty good food.

Spent most of Sunday running back and forth between the house and the storage facility. We are reducing from two units to just one. Most of the stuff is leftover from my house before we got married. Some of it went back to the house to be sorted and either retained or "archived" in the dumpster. We then moved any remaining stuff from the small unit into the bigger one. Some of it was some of her Grandmother's antique furniture. Not sure what we'll do with all of it yet, so we're holding onto it for now. Most, however, was my music gear; guitar and bass amps and speaker cabinets, PA equipment, stage lights, and my large acoustic drum kit.

Welcome to the GM thread, James.

63°F and no rain

My friend Jim lent me his Rockwell 59380 Hinge guide. Appears made by Porter Cable more recently. Can be set up for all 3 hinges at once and I can do the 6 on one side , adjust and the 6 for other side. Even found a You tube for help.

Kekeo’s play date was fun. Jim brought 7 yo Schroeder, a pup from our 2nd litter. The 3 dogs had a great time. Mark uses an orange 5 gal lid from HD as a frisbee. All three 3 were whipped by the time we left.

Be safe
Have a great day

50 degrees, got all my todo's done by noon. Nice day to be out in the sunshine. Got the little Massey three point hitch put back together properly, remounted the carryall and then took a ride across the fields to my neighbor who asked to borrow my impact gun. I will only lend him my old corded one which I dropped off.

So David...a play date for dogs is to socialize them? In case they normally don't interact enough?
Or is this only for puppies, which would qualify.
Sounds like a great idea. I bet the owners were whupped by the time you left also.

David, a man of your talents can easily make a hinge guide from a few scraps of wood. Borrowing an adjustable one from a friend is even easier :thumbsup:

Yea, my fall back position before free cutting.
I made templates for cutting out the electric boxes with spiral saw back when we built the whole.
I did pick up 1/2 mortise bit with the guide bearing above before Jim confirmed lending his professional template.

29F and cloudy/overcast @ 12:00. Radar shows snow ... but I sure ain't seeing it ... :thumbsup: High today of 33F.

Short day yesterday, came down to house around 18:00 for dinner and never went back up to the shop, other than to run up real quick and shut the compressor off which I forgot to do when I came down for dinner.

More cleaning done yesterday, same on menu today. Got most of the west side of the shop cleaned at this point.

Did get the 3/8 x 2 1/2 steel flat cut for the other runner on the LPGS. Also got the fixed tire/wheel mounted on the two-wheeler that I use for bringing in firewood.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and productive day.

Bird you must have an iron stomach if you can have four cups of coffee before eating.
My stomach starts gurgling after two.

Lots of things change as we get older, I guess. I used to sip coffee from the time I got up until about 5 p.m., but now it's occasionally only 3, but usually 4 big mugs of coffee first thing in the morning, then no more the rest of the day. Of course it does go on through me pretty fast.:laughing:
