Thank goodness for the banana! Yes, that's not the first time I've made that statement.

I find that my lungs function better with a dampening layer of sawdust.

R.I.P. Bea. Dorothy's Golden Lab Bea. She turned 1 year old early this week then passed suddenly on Thursday. It's believed that she ate something outside that caused the issue. Poisonous mushroom may have been the culprit. Bea was the sweetest, friendliest dog. She was a gorgeous blonde haired, pink nosed ball of joy. I will miss her! Dorothy is devastated, as expected.

People of our age are used to "roll your own".

Agreed, especially because that is basically the Carter Scratch method of playing, originated by Maybell Carter.

20 years old? That album came out in 1980.

As slow as David drives, does it really matter?

Disappointed.

Fettuccine, Italian sausage, spinach, red bell pepper, onion, olive oil and chicken bouillon.

Use Bloodwood for the carnage.

That's a milestone for sure. Welcome to the club!

Mmm, Detroit style!

I'm not exactly opposed to poisonousclan.com It's kind of biker-ish.

Added a second shelf in the back of the van. Now it's much easier to access the miter saw stand and saw horses, without having to remove tools bags off of them.

Orange chicken salad from Starbird.

I forgot to mention this at the time, but on Sunday Milo and I were building a shelving system for my van. In doing so, we used the pocket screw jig that Naaman built, then ping ponged the parts and sent them to me, so Milo and I could build the same unit. This thing is really a slick little tool! It just works so easily, and the lesser angle is absolutely better than my Kreg pocket screw tool. So shout out to Naaman again! Thanks Sir!

Milo and I reorganized my van. It's tough to see from the pictures, but we built a box under the existing shelf/table I built over 4 years ago. It's divided into 2 large cubicles on the bottom, and a shallow open shelf above those. It holds a lot of tool bags! And we made it just deep enough that there's room for my Makpac boxes on the other side. Then in the back, we built a shelf between my metal shelves. It sets over the metal shelves with angle iron on each side, so it can be removed if necessary. Lot's of tool storage under and on that shelf. And now I can just slide my chopsaw stand and saw horses on that shelf, instead of having to strap them in upright. So much easier. Especially putting tools away at the end of a long day.

Small towns are not usually the best places for gay men to live. They don't offer a lot in terms of entertainment. People are usually not that inviting to gay men and women. I've spent a significant portion of my life in small towns, and generally don't feel that welcomed. Not my current small town! There are at least 100 rainbow flags flying for gay pride month! Hell, they even repainted a crosswalk with rainbow stripes. It just feels very welcoming when I'm coming home from work, grocery shopping or whatever. I love Fairfax and it's people! I am home!

It's a miracle!!!

Disregard the fat man in the mirror. I have no idea how my Father showed up there, especially since he's been dead for 20 years.

The only thought that comes to my mind is, good, we don't have to pay to house him anymore. I do feel bad for his Brother, who seems like a pretty decent human being.

Finished. Was able to run the middle shelf full length, with still room for the P-trap.
