[Bobby of Tulsa]

Lunch today will be ground hog.

[David G]

Morning David, Long night here but I am hoping for a better day, I hope yours is a good one.

Doctor visit this morning. Then likely a delivery of Son2's completed table to his client...

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I don't know how much you folks followed this Byob but Glen and I logged many late night hours and many phone calls to each other. Not as many as Curt and I but I gotta say I sure miss them.

Hey Bobby! Hope you’re doing alright. Sun is back just a little bit here today. We missed the slippery roads here in G town.

Hi Garland, Glad to hear from you. Hope you and your family are all well.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Fred, I hope you keep stopping by, and it is worrisome about Kevin

Morning all, Bobby, Garland, Syed, Fred. Icy blast here in the middle of a hot summer, but the rain was welcome. It was described as 'firehose weather'.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Good day to you Jeff, Hope things are good in your world.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Fred we are suppose to be in for a warm up, we will see.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Well it wont stay cold forever, My wife is going get me a walker and maybe when it gets a bit warmer she can walk me around the yard some.

yall still play bluegrass in this honkytonk?

nice little interview with molly tuttle on npr this evening

[David G]

Fun delivery today. I was able to be mostly the grunt, helping schlep the table in. His client was ecstatic a, bout how it turned out, and gave him a $150 'bonus'. He bought pizza for the mob to celebrate. The babies weren't sure what we were celebrating... but they approved <G> He's already working on the next one. A simple screen to hide some recycling bins. I helped him a bit with the engineering is all.

Son2 sent some fotos of the table we delivered today. I'm quite impressed with his work --

[David G]

Nicely done, David. The top is recycled wood, correct? I built our 48 x 70 dining table (actually identical in legs and apron) of white oak at a cabinetmaker's shop. Mrs Z bought me a few hours of classroom instruction. That table is still the best thing I've ever made out of wood.

Thanks. Mostly Son2's work. I showed him some design details that'd work - aprons mortised into legs, top floating but held down with z-clips - but he did most of the machining & joinery.

Every bit of wood is 'reclaimed'. There's a place in town that specializes. They seem to be doing well, and growing. And their prices are very good, as long as you're willing to incorporate some of the 'defects' into your design. So I went and picked out the stock, being careful to choose tight-grain, old-growth Douglas Fir... with vertical or rift grain for the top (to minimize movement).

You'll have to show us some fotos!!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Friday morning here, I hope it is a good one for you and you have a good weekend.
Nice work on the table David.
Cowboy coffee this morning with a shot of bourbon, enjoy.

Today's high temp.
Cold and getting colder.
Stay warm my friends.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Morning Chris, looks cold up your way. I hope you and yours are all well and warm.

[Chris Woodward]

Hi Bobby
Well it's a dry cold
And it's not ice. That seems worse.

[Chris Woodward]

It's forecast to drop to -30 tonight. A 55 degree drop in 24 hrs.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Dang Chris, how do you guys survive that kind of winter?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Our water lines would be frozen and probably not thaw out till July.

[Chris Woodward]

Wool socks.
Actually you acclimate to it. Like I said it's dry.
But this crazy up and down temps (yesterday was 30°) makes it hard to get used to it.
Just wear 8 layers of clothing.

[Chris Woodward]

Yeah, the frost line here is around 4-5'. If we get enough snow it insulates it somewhat.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

What are you up to these days, building anything?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Morning Paul. Have you heard anything from Kevin?

[Paul Pless]

nope, was hoping to see him here last night

[Bobby of Tulsa]

He has really been quiet since lung thing. I hope he is alright.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Oh man, I found todays lunch for the Byob. Where is master chef ?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Some collard greens would go good with that. Possums on the half shell yum.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

One of these to go with it.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hey that might be good on pizza.
