Have a great one Steve -- it's gotta be better than last year, anyway! 🤢 Cheers! <---(frosty sugar-free root beers)

Can you avoid rebuilding a whole saw and figuring out how to sell the old one? I'd opt for conversion if it is straightforward

Are you making stops for the Woodpeckers track you put in? Steve found some flip stops from Rockler if you want to check out a fast cheaper option than the Woodpeckers StealthStop I bought (and haven't received yet). I tried my HVLP sprayer for the first time today. Three coats of shellac on the base and drawer faces of my dad's desk. Super easy and smooth once I got the hang of it. Controls for air flow, material flow, spray pattern, and size of pattern takes a little effort to dial in but it was definitely a lot easier than the alternatives. And a much nicer experience than the airless sprayer I tried a couple of times. In less happy news, I learned that the maker of the 8' LED lights I installed wasn't playing around when they said not to daisy chain more than five lights together. I had one string of seven lights that I had originally intended to split up with an extension cord at some point but forgot all about it. Yesterday that group of lights started flickering and went out. Turns out the first one in the chain was melting. 😳 I've now made sure five is the most and might reduce that to four.

Alden likes to play parts of that travesty for people because of how god awful it is. 😆

Certainly not the best screenwriting in Reacher, but the big giant actor gets more comfortable in the role and we enjoyed the ride, snapped bones and all.

I hope you get to smash some sticks on your big day. Cheers!

The Hammer rep recommended Lenox blades as the best available. I bought a couple of TriMaster carbide blades and a bi-metal ¼ for angles and curves. https://www.bandsawbladesdirect.com/

It's a little nuts that Maynard G. Krebs is more engrained in my brain than Dobie himself, but I never really watched that show and I watched Gilligan's Island a lot. RIP Dobie. RIP RL-S.

... plus expertise in blending wood. 😳 Or maybe a magic ping pong table could fake it in some way.

I think I remember when you bought that car...

I've never done veneer edge banding, but I imagine it would suck. I'm working on my dad's desk for my brother in LA and I'm edge banding in a different way -- with solid 1" x 1 3/4" walnut around the old top and a new walnut ply top. Having fun with clamps on clamps.

I think I'm going to be making some Spanish style huevos con chorizo very soon. 🤤

It ain't so! Howard Hesseman played Dr, Johnny Fever while Richard Sanders played Less, and he is alive and well. That said, RIP Dr. Fever.

I got intrigued by the Woodpeckers StealthStop, which should arrive soon. Embedded track with rulers and stops that flip up and have micro-adjust. Not using the optional fence portion as Steve mentioned.

Four pizza night: Shitake, leek, thyme, gruyere and fresh mozzarella Pesto mozzarella Detroit style -- one with pepperoni and one with Spanish chorizo and both with Jack / Colby

There are no panels. It's carved to look like rails and stiles and panels but I think it is one piece cut up on the magic ping pong table

Bummer. Would a 20 amp breaker solve the problem? It couldn't be too hard to get an electrician to swap one in there.

https://www.festool.com/-/media/tts/fcp/festool-com/downloads/wood-magazine/festoolwoodmagazineno32021ipen.pdf Big Green is coming out with a cordless Kapex and cordless dust extractors. Not sure if it will be in the USA as early as in Europe but that is pretty cool for jobsite tradespeople.

Your beer bias is showing. 😝 Mike knows that is a King Crimson album cover. But Larks Tongue In Aspic cake sounds grim. 🤢

Belated happy birthday Adam! Maybe we can go to the postponed Pliny the Younger day as a postponed birthday! Cheers!

Two times too early to go! Meat Loaf again?! I yelled that out RHPS midnight shows many a time. Never really got into his music but they were fun every once in a while, and like as Todd said were huge in my youth. And Louie was only ten years older than me! Glad that Baskets was one of his last shows because he was genius in that role. RIP Louie and Meat

Have a great one bro! Cheers!

RIP Brigadier General McGee.

Assuming it is a curry burger, of course! Have a great day, G-Man! Cheers! <~frosty mugs of Diet Coke
