What did you do today

Finished epoxing in the rear hatch hinge and fiberglassed the roof of my build. Mounted hinges for side door to the door skin.
 
Got another round of silvers today. Big fish for this species.
Saw a black swan whilst exploring the tidal creeks - winter has arrived.
A thunderstorm moved in as I was going home. I still find lightning at sea a touch unnerving.
Might be the knowledge that I am the highest thing for miles around.
 
Tom and Shelly. I feel ya on cleaning out the parents house. When my dad passed, I figured it would take me a year to clean out his house but first I had to get the financial stuff in order. Once that was taken care of we went through each bedroom. Cleanest bedroom first, ending with his. He kept a lot of paperwork for everything, receipts too.
Then we could do repairs, paint, plumbing fixes.
His cancer meds ate the pipe in his kitchen sink.
Took most of the summer and by October we had it on the market. Then it was selling car's that took time.
FYI ))). If you have 5 vehicle's or more, it automatically sets you up for probate court.
Which we avoided by gifting one to his brother.
Made me want to minimalize badly. That may take a few years since im restoring a car.
 
Me? I recently came down with a bit of elf-itis (squamous cell carcinoma) and ended up with a guy carving on me today. (Mohs surgery - where they slice and slice until the guy looking through the microscope says they've got it all.)

Yowsers, eh? :eek:

It was generally painless, but it feels like there's a needle or two in it at the moment.

Survived my endoscopy! And my other-endoscopy!

They assured me they used two different probes. (Really, they did, and I am glad they still have that sense of humor after working in that lab for so long!) I'm supposing the probes met in the middle, but, unfortunately, the 4K video didn't come out, so I can't prove it. It looks like you might imagine, but I can't imagine why you would try and imagine such a thing.

I actually did have a colonoscopy once where they couldn't put me under (long story), and the intern let me peek at the auxiliary monitor. Ever since, when folks have accused me of having my head up there, I could explain that, as a matter of fact, I knew the view.

Been cleaning out my late father-in-law's house for the past few months. The problem is that he was a hoarder, unlike me, who merely cannot throw anything away, if it may have even the slightest possible value someday. So, my workshop was (and partly still is) completely packed with duplicate tools, hardware, and electronics including a Bearcat scanner (complete with a book by Betty Bearcat listing all of the police frequencies used in 1989), eight track tape recorder (yes, recorder), b/w camping TV, a 400 KHz vacuum tube oscilloscope, and a shelf full of tower computers from the 1990's. Well, they gotta be useful for something, right?!

I also took apart the "temporary" computer shop my father-in-law had made in the three-car garage out of 2x4's mostly ripped to 2x2s, underlayment shelves, and drywall. (Our relator tells us a three car garage is more sellable than a small workshop.)

So, here's what I put together in our own basement behind the woodshop

The far shelves are made from the 2x2's and underlayment. The closer ones are made from the 2 x 4's and some metal shelves I'd saved. The plastic bins are marked with silver sharpies, so I have a clue as to what I put in them. I made the wire holders from foot long pegboard hooks I found in my father-in-law's garage, hung on strips of 1/4 inch ply left over from our teardrop build, reinforced with 2x4 from my father-in-law's shop. There are some really good spools of wire from my father-in-law's stash. It was spread over so many places in that house (sheds, garage, etc.) that I doubt he even remembered everything he had.

Under the wire is some "barnwood" from a friend's fence in case I ever get around to making picture frames.

The tower computers are occupying the far lower shelf (which are each 8 feet wide). Out of the picture to the left are two doll houses from Shelly's collection. She has a business making doll house furniture, but honestly, why would someone save a couple of old doll houses?

Anyway, if we have it, and bother to look, I think we'll find it in a reasonable amount of time, now.
