Good morning!!!!

[WVH1977]

Going to continue working on staining my shed this morning. Then going bass fishing with a friend while we have this summertime weather in February here in VA. I just started doing 4, 10 hr days again and liking it!!! Off on Fridays.

Who doesn't remember getting your first oiled filter and putting the marveled mystery oil on it?
I always thought the big problem with the oiled filters was that people let them run dry in which case they were just a large object filter.

The filer oil is very tacky, even more so than bar and chain oil. Other oils seriously reduce its ability to filter.

Good morning, 39 going to 59 today some wind and overnight as well.

Never hooked up the snowplows this year and looks like no snow this season but can still happen.

Going to town to pick up a prescription this morning. The appointment I could get for my shoulder is in mid March. Cancelled an earlier appointment with a much bigger group that could see me same day. Turned out to be with a PA not the doctor and then got a bill for no show.
With older age comes some of these problems and I don't like it. But overall I am doing well I am reminding myself.

the "better" Fram filter that has not come in looks like it has thicker media and comes pre-oiled.
They talk about better filtration, but no one wants to talk specs, like microns, how that changes over time, etc.

I put the basic paper one in for now, and when this one comes in, will swap it out and use other as spare.
Or in case Mt Helens pops off again if I drive West........

3 freezies and one basal cell biopsy this morning. About normal.

Drew good luck with skin cancer always close to us never ending I’m sorry to say. Skin cancer travels throughout one’s skin and can appear in areas that have never seen the light of day.

riptides glad to see your better half is out and about good for her health good for the soul

Good morning! 30° now, predicted high is 39° or so. Big change from yesterday’s 71°!

We have had some snow this winter, but maybe 1” was the most we had at any one time. And that was gone in days. But March has had some big snows in the past, so not time to put the snow blower away yet.

Many race bikes run K&N filters with seemingly no major damage or significant wear. These modern engines last much better. But I chose the UNI 2 stage foam filters for mine.

Oxygen regulator stopped regulating on my torch set this week. Found a broken seal ring. Local welding supply place stopped selling rebuild kits due to liability. But I walked out with a new Victor regulator for $80. So I was able to finish a project.

Not sure what I will get into today…..always something

Everyone stay safe out there!

63°F and 3.03 inches rain.

Off to Hilo this morning. A bit of grocery shopping and errands. Stop by the PO on way home.

Not sure what I’ll get into when we get home. Will be weather dependent I’m sure.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

30F here as well and mostly cloudy @ 10:45, heading up to 34F maybe for the high.

Tried the Apple Crisp before I went to bed, was very tasty ...

Woman was up when I got up, announced She was sick and was going back to bed. She thinks it might be the flu apparently ...

So I'll be tending to Her needs today, assuming She has any ... other than "Get away and just leave me alone ..."

Late last night I got the excess glue scraped off the piece that split that I glued back together, still a little more sanding/clean up to do on it though.

Agenda for the rest of the day:

Refill hopper and tube feeders, probably refill deer feeder and a suet feeder while I'm at it.

Clear off table top for woodworking bench and hit it again, this time with the random orbital sander.

Once that's done I'll swap out the the plunge base on the router for the fixed base and figure out the offset from the outside edge of the base to the centerline.

After that's done I need to lay out and mark the grid for the dovetail grooves for the MicroJig clamps. There will be 9 slots that run the length of the table and 17 slots that run the depth/width.

Following that will need get the Swanson saw guide set up so I can run the router along it.

After that I can start routing slots.

Amazon due in today with 2 1/2 OD tubing and the flush trim router bit.

Interestingly, the vacuum hose and adapters aren't due in until tomorrow. They were shipped out of Twinsburg, OH yesterday (I assume from an Amazon warehouse) - which is about 25 miles from where I live - and sent to somewhere in Illinois. They are being delivered via USPS ... which seems to just nuts to me but what do I know ...

Hope everyone is having a great Friday ...

I know I appreciated my wife bringing me coffee. I don’t usually drink coffee unless I’m sick or a sore throat.

My son might have gotten the job as a remote data analyst for a company in Denver. He sent back answers to a written interview form, I expected it to be a prescreening, but today they sent email saying they wanted to hire and HR will be sending him an offer. They mentioned hourly rate, so not sure if it will be full time, but the rate was good.

I’m a little better, still coughing but not as bad.
