Good morning!!!!

so "fully charged" is actually 80 percent of what's claimed in marketing?
that sounds about right...
makes sense in propane tanks where you need expansion
so 100 percent would be overcharging.
To get claimed range you therefore have to abuse your battery pack.
well maybe you can do that infrequently and not have a problem.
But the memory bank in your car knows, and it will squeal to the dealer
what your charging pattern has been. So Lou is smart.
we never should have let the 2x4 get shaved down...
we've been getting gypped ever since.
like try and find a true pound of coffee in the store...hard to do.
I had to buy plain white sugar last week and was amazed it was still a pound.

fence guy came early and didn't stay long.
I have to choose between basic "dog eared" top or what I think is more attractive, the gothic style top.
something that looks like this.
sent pics to landlady and said you pick. They have already walked that area and gave full support to this.

there are three trees on "other side" that I now must either cut all the way down, or deal with neighbor about if he wants to
keep them. I will cut the forsythia back to allow the fence to be put in and the forsythia to remain on other side.
I hope to plant climbing vines and roses on my side.

BEF, those carvings look good!

Thanks. Finding lots of old memories as I clean up

28 degrees out feels like minus 28
I go out and keep getting chilled
was going to work in garage on those wall racks that came in
went back out and turned on propane heat, mighty cold inside garage
hoping in an hour it will be better

70°F and 1.73 inches rain.

Off to Hilotown this morning. A bit of shopping, pick up the Tundra license plates at toyota, swap them for handicap plates at DMV, and Sophie has ophthalmologist appointment. Need to drop Christmas cards at the PO.

Guys lost at H&F. LED most of the game only to get soundly beat at the end.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

BEF, now you have a hobby IF you want to pursue it.

Hydro came out the other day and cut down a tree at the neighbours that was encroaching on the lines. They were nice enough to cut the trunk and bigger limbs into 16" rounds and stacked them beside the driveway. They left the slash where it fell. I know of someone local that will probably take the rounds off her if she doesn't want them. He burns Pine and Tamarack in his fireplace.

hmmm, think we can adapt some metal spikes to the top to deter anyone trying to look over it

Mpham, sorry about late lathe.
When I was a teen, went to a Christmas party that a church member had at his house for the teens. He was a woodworker, and when he found out I liked wood working, he showed me his wood shop. He had a lathe, and I had never seen or used one, so he showed me how to turn a piece of wood. Think it was a candle holder. Don’t know what become of it. That family moved away, so never used a lathe again, but still remember him taking the time to show me how to turn something on a cold winter night.

Good story
When I was in Jr High we had a neighbor up the road, very into Cub Scouts for his young son. He also had a great woodworking shop in his basement. I was also his paperboy. Don’t remember how it came about but he took me and a couple friends in and taught us how to use his power tools over several weeks. I built a box with lid to hold my parent’s LPs. As I recall that box was still in their cottage when they passed.

Nice carvings, Dennis. Talented

Thanks for EV report, Lou. Interesting, but don’t see one in my near future. The promise is there, but tech not there yet.

Phil curious on what your buying, I always like looking at wood working equipment! Sorry it’s late !

Nova Nebula with extension bed. Should be able to turn up to 18 inch projects!
Coffee with my buddy tonight so need to head out to the storage building and turn on the heat soon.
Went shopping with the wife. I hate shopping! Ended up buying 3 pairs of jeans to replace my old worn out work ones. No more holes for a while! I now have 8 pairs and no other types. Retired means retired. Not even dressing up for my own funeral!
First round of playing this morning, made these.

Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
