but I just ate chocolate. yum.
went to sell my recycle metal. had 1600 pounds. blue rocket did not seem to mind. vroom vroom . down the road. the cat working the giant electro magnet had me a bit worried. snatching stuff up within feet of my head and body. must have been near 7' in diameter. it picked up a refrezerator and lifted it up a bit and just dropped and smacked it flat. that about 10 feet from me.
crazy bonkers. but got out alive. took my duckies and bought a dollar wendys chicken sandwich. the main thing is no women or children were hurt.

I wont remember any one but bob and amy. bob was clean shaven all the guys had goaties. guess I will go back. found about a thousand pounds of metal in the back yard with almost another to go. wow. going to sell all I can get on blue dog (my truck for the uniniciated).
ordered some special scraper blades today. took 6 months to locate.
my new gps called 1rover2 did me proud today. tried to confuse it but it was nonplussed.
this is a replica of the famous mobil logo that was at one time the highest point on the dallas skyline. this one is inside the old red courthouse museum in downtown dallas. that is where I made a stage.

the annual home photo. the tree grows by itself, if the house would paint itself that would be something. prior to that is the house I.ve been on for so long. blue rocket standing by. seems we are done now. just the paper work to do. collecting is what it is called. summer time in Texas.

work. the shelf turned out better than I thought they would. the last pic is first, the start of the day. the blue thing is the vanity for the bath. the white box on top is the sink. every one is getting them that way. silly. stainless steel top with white plastic on it for protection. it has wheels. so that was my day.

the week is done. no paint on the wainscot yet. it appears simple however the margins were highly critical. to create each panel there are 8 pieces of trim. over 150 bits of trim so over 300 individual trim cuts. that is the trim alone. the panels and grid add a considerable amount more. to make this project more difficult all cutting had to be done outside and downstairs. walking walking walking. a mantle to design next

hot I say. taking friday off. got a little banking to do. got a door put in, had to rip the header. what a mess. all worked out. nice action. and so the guy likes the cabinet I hear. I'm so frustrated with the job. he is very smart but is giving us too little too late. now no material to work with. all on order. and so back to an old job where I helped with a walk in humidor. secret door and stuff. cigars can be costly. thus the need to hide them I guess. the first pic is humidor

check it out, seriously.
and so it is friday. joy. I dropped a screw yesterday and in the process of looking for it I found a bullet. I think it is a 50 caliber. how, what the, ?'s that may never be answered. not a common thing. it was marked with rifling impressions so it was fired.
