It was a rainy day today so rather than hike we saw a couple of historic sites in Vermont. First we saw Billings Farm and Museum and the Calvin Coolidge Birthplace and Home . Learned a hell-of-a-lot about Coolidge and was impressed.

Rodrigo and Gabriella last night @ the Fox Theater in Oakland. Love that these two are still doing their thing and fun to get to see them at my favorite Bay Area venue. That woman can really play some rhythm guitar! Rod ain’t bad on lead either.

Work on the humidor project continues and should be complete this weekend, well it sort of has to be since the presentation of the gift needs to happen Tuesday. WIth that in mind I did some more fab work on limited time at night this week making the piece for the bottom of the removable tray and doing a bunch of sanding. Precision was applied in some areas and is lacking in others, such is the nature of the things that I make. This is the custom bottom panel for the tray. The air-flow holes are a pattern that I developed to mimic the drilled shaft foundations that we are currently installing to support the two new dry docks. The large holes are the 9 foot diameter shafts that will start installation this fall/winter and the smaller holes are the 6'-6" shafts we're in the process of installing now. This is the bottom panel of the box complete with laser-engraved command logo.

Funny magic ping pong t-shirt I saw the other day

I just felt the TICE shutter from inadequacy!

Don’t tell it to me, tell it to the snake.

Built a tray to store all the shit constantly in my way on the new workbench.

Afternoon Tea and desserts with the Brits.

I had a lot of snakes and lizards growing up but my favorite was a beautiful California King Snake whose favorite activity was me carrying her around draped across my shoulders. She was very content to just chill there for hours.

this work of art.

Does it bring all the boys to the yard?

You nailed it. A pretty adult milksnake with a very chill attitude.

It's great to hear from you again. I think Grahame nailed our surprise to see you pop up, lots of good memories from back in the days of the "old republic". BTW I'm working at Audeze now, we've been doing a thing or two regarding mixing on headphones: https://www.audeze.com/pages/mm-series

Was straightening up our upstairs garage and I came across this trespasser trying to be inconspicuous
