A couple of weeks ago went into the big city, and stopped at Harbor Freight. Always fun, even if for no other reason than just to enjoy the smell of new tools. Got a nice 16' tape measure, for keeping in my truck, in a sickly florecent green color that I doubt my sons will even touch, let alone "borrow". Hehehe Before I came back home, stopped at my usual used bookstore. They had probably an even larger varied of used woodworking books then usual, but unfortunately none I wanted.
Then about a week later my older son took me in so I could have a colonoscopy done. Good results. But, not only got to spend some qualty time with him, for a change, but we stopped off at HF agan. Picked up a couple of small items.
Got my glaucoma tested again, doing very well on that. Eye prescription hadn't changed from last year, so don't need to shell out for that.
Then today, talked with the bank, about a loan so I could get the pad poured for my garage. Approved, even as we talked. I knew paying those bills was good for something. Heh heh. So, now all that's left is the paperwork, and finding someone to do the work. That'll free up the space in my shop the younger kid has his junk in, and will give him space to store the engine in various vehicles around my yard. His excuse is "no place to store the engines", so he just leaves the entire vehicle there. I plan to section off a space in there, reserved just for me and my projects - which will include lumber storage - but, that'll still leave him about 4/5s of the space.
Life is basically good.
JOAT Any plan is bad which is incapable of modification.
