The PUB light's ON! :D

[Mrleft8]

But now I need to get out to the barn and take a look to see if the table top has self destructed, or if it has survived a night alone..... If I could get Aldo to go take a look, and come back to tell me if I should go out there, or just give up, I would, but he still looks so miserable, I don't have the heart to ask him......
I shall return!

[Figment]

Aldo and Hercules both decided that I needed to get up and feed them at 4:30, then again to let them out at 5, then again to let them in so they could go back to sleep at 5:15.....
So While I wasn't doing anything important, like sleeping.... I restarted the wood stove..... Boy, will I be glad when March gets here, and we get some warm weather..... It's 49 freakin degrees!

Interesting. The baby had the same schedule this morning.

I'll gnaw on some coffee for a few minutes, see if I can't make it to noon with at least one eye open.

"Tiny Dancer?" Really?

[Mrleft8]

I shoulda sent Aldo out to the barn ahead of me.....
Aside from the obvious boo-boos that are just gonna have to be there until I make another other new top, the finish looks OK... Not "good", but OK considering that it's for me, and I don't really count. I'd never let this out the door to a paying customer with this finish on it, but I don't count..... But the real problem is/was...... I made the damned thing 1/4" too long. So it doesn't fit properly.... Which meant that I either had to cut an eighth of an inch off both ends, re radius the edge, and refinish the freshly radiused edge..... Or I could put 1/2" riser blocks between the base and the top..... So..... The damned thing is 1/2" taller than it should be, 1/4" longer than it should be, has a bad spot in the veneer, ugly finish, and it smells...... But it's there, it's relatively flat, and it should be relatively moisture resistant..... Should be......

[David G]

I'll have a bowl of that knaw-able coffee. Kinda draggin azz this morning. Got a small job complete and delivered yesterday afternoon, though... and made it to the body shop to ok the work on my truck. Good day, overall. Now - can I do another?

[Mrleft8]

[Mrleft8]

Good day, overall. Now - can I do another?

Yes.

[David G]

Yes.

That's the spirit!

But... not without some of that knaw-able coffee. A bowl for here, and a big basket of it to go!

So ya mean it isn't up to Ledger standards, eh?

[Figment]

"Tiny Dancer?" Really?

What?

Your brain functions perfectly normally on more sugar than sleep?
You don't hear piano ballads on the way to sailing camp?

[Mrleft8]

So ya mean it isn't up to Ledger standards, eh?

It's barely up to Donn standards..... OK, it's not that bad..... It's barely up to Paul Girouard standards......

[Bobby of Tulsa]

It's barely up to Donn standards..... OK, it's not that bad..... It's barely up to Paul Girouard standards......

I have given up on any standard, Everything I touch goes wrong. I redo it at least three times and then junk it.

[SaltyD from BC]

Lefty I've got a 3/8" bar on the chain saw so if you can live with that thing being an 1/8 to short instead of a 1/4 too long I might be able to help. Might have to go with a rustic look on one side.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Afternoon SaltyD, off to the doctor in about ten minutes. See if he can relieve some of the pressure on my billfold.

[SaltyD from BC]

Good luck with the saw bones Bobby. I'll look you up later when its time for a pop.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Later dude.

[Curtism]

Darn, Lefty, here I was thinking I'm king when it comes to taking a seemingly simple job and turning it into a clust, er, big production.

[Mrleft8]

Yeah..... I'm turning into the Sofa King........
Back to it....

[Chip-skiff]

G'dafternoon, Curtismo, Bobberoo, Saltini, Leftissimus, Seaoznz.

Next week, maybe we should go vegan. It'd be a change, at least. I can live without meat for a while. No cheese— that'd be tough.

If you are ruled by symmetry, Leftmacher, both ends need to be cut and reshaped. Boat stuff tends to be bilaterally symmetrical, in plan view at least. It's probably some sort of virus.

Despite the frost, the spuds are coming back. Put in summer squash, zucchini, and melon yesterday, with a partial row cover, and they're looking okay despite the vicious wind. Also started a new generation of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant for the greenhouse. The vine tomato plants I started from cuttings look really good. I'm going to try propagating a determinate tomato from cuttings. I really ought to read up on this stuff, but it's more fun to just give it a go.

The way the reservoirs are going down, it might soon be impossible to launch a boat around here. I had a struggle with the muck off the end of the ramp yesterday. I guess I can blow up a Pack Cat and carry it down to the water. This crazy weather stinks.

Drink? Saint Clair Sauv Blanc and a dozen Bluff oysters on ice. Crusty loaf and good butter on the side. I need to build up my blood for a nap.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Holy guacamole, I think I need a pint of Night Train. Just to build my blood don'tcha know. I think all those lab girls musta been vampires.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

This doctor visit did not go as well as I had hoped for. That is what I get for listening to other people. I shoulda bought Glens gas while he was willin to help me.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Glen, where are you? You never did tell me about your Mezcal drinkin.

[Mrleft8]

Bought Glens gas?...... Why?..... He gives it away free every night in here.... 'Bout peels the paint off the walls sometimes.....
So what'd the doctor say Bobby?.....
And no, Chip..... I'm not cutting anything on that table top this week..... I'm gonna just have to hope that Plessner, and Ledger don't look too close.....

[Farfalla]

YES!!!
You have my vote on that gentlemen.
But of course it's always a matter of choice.
it would mean no worms for a few days for Bobby, but I'm sure he's man enough to handle that challenge


A nice whisky would set me up just right. Feet up and a nice book to read for a few minutes while I see if any of you are about.

Sophie

[seanz]

More Bluff oysters for me then. Very unshellfish of you two.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Sophie, those worms only eat agave, they be vegan. As far as the menu, bring it on.

[Farfalla]

Hi Bobby, how are you doing? staying out of all that Heat. We have a couple of days of sunshine, thanks for sending it over, but more rain on the way.
i'm not too sure that the worms would call you a vegan though

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I will send you all this sunshine you want. I was kinda afraid you might say that about the worm.

[ChrisBen]

I'm gonna just have to hope that Plessner, and Ledger don't look too close.....

You'll jest hafta steer Jim clear of it, but M. Pless ? The guy that makes his poor bride step from floor joist ta floor joist ta git ta the bathtub?

[SaltyD from BC]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. lol

[ChrisBen]

Wassup Salty Dude?

[SaltyD from BC]

[SaltyD from BC]

You might be on to something Dude, pooched reverse osmosis machine pickling.. We might have to work on a better logo. LOL

Hughman, bud isn't beer for god's sake. Go into the big cooler and have a gander, the world's your oyster

[ChrisBen]

This doctor visit did not go as well as I had hoped for. That is what I get for listening to other people. I shoulda bought Glens gas while he was willin to help me.

What? You expected to be released on yer own recognizance?

[ChrisBen]

Breast stroke? Maybe not a wooden boat but cellulose anyway.

[ChrisBen]

[ChrisBen]

[Mrleft8]

Huh...... What?....... Has Kevin been here, or something?.....

Have a good trip Hugh!...... (I mean..... Not that bud would make you tr....... I mean have a bon voyage!!!!!)

[Mrleft8]

Stevie Nicks sure grew into her ego, didn't she?..... That girl should NOT wear black.... Uh unh!!.... <<<<<<Doing that chubby black woman head swivel thing while rolling my eyes>>>>>>
I remember she used to be a scrawny lil thing about the size of a match stick......
But then her thighs started rubbing, and you knew it was only a matter of time......

[Mrleft8]

Putting out a tall glass of Zinsser's Bullseye shelac based primer/sealer, and a plate of advantage for Skippy......
And a cold Lone Star, and a jar of Patron for Bobby-san ((((((((GONNNNNNGGGGGGG)))))))))!!!!!!!!!
Meds are kicking in.... So...... Nytol!

[Canoez]

Serving crab on a raft?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Ok, guys it finally got cool enough for me to go out and water. all you have to do is stand still and sweat. The sun is down and it is still 90°f. I need a cold one.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Filled up the coffee maker, all you got to do is push the button, Tomorrow guys and gals.

[skipper68]

Hey Bobby- I'm on my H*ll PC, but was really nice with a breeze here. That crab looks good with butter. :One shot and I'm off. Busy=very. Cool your core, not your outside. Even in a tub .Heat exaustion moves fast to falling. Cool off with a Margirita? Making trip plans-boat repairs first.Cheers to you. Chill Bro...<3

[Chip-skiff]

More Bluff oysters for me then. Very unshellfish of you two.

Ha! You've got a nice wit, for a West Islander. So Bluff oysters it is. What about some bubbly? Lindauer? Deutz? Or do we want to spend some real money?

Sophie— I'd not trust Lefty to do the vegan menu, since he'd be sneaking in bits of raw liver under the guise of steamed beets, etc. So p'raps you ought to do a menu or two. I'd like to know how to make a decent vegan eggplant parmesan. What serves in lieu of the parmesan?

Bobster. Next time you feel the urge to see a doctor, I recommend Dr. John—

[Mrleft8]

Bacon isn't off the vegan menu is it?.....
Morning Bobby-san(((((((((((((((GONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG)))))) )))))))))))))))!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chip, Seanz, Sophie, Skippy, CB, Noey, Ernie, Dan, Mistah G, Curt.....
It's 58f and windy as..... It's windy....

At least it's not snowing....
