What are you doing today ?

Our local town hasn't been able to put on much of an after dark show for a few years, so we're giving it a skip. Today has been a 3rd weekend day to try to get things done. Tomorrow I hope to get a gearbox in the Volvo Grape.

Volvo has vinyards?

Well the previous owner liked metallic purple. I call it that when ever people say, " Why not keep the color? "

It could be table grape not fermenting grape.

Surely that depends on the year !

Did it lick her eyebrows off? Apparently they do that.

Kayaks are great ! My 15 year old son is the Sea Kayak champion of Spain and the Canary Islands ( In his age category that is ) It’s a race with the first leg out to sea and the second returning surfing the waves. The kayaks are basically carbon fiber knives . It’s his passion and when I see my children have a passion I worry about what will become of them in this life a lot less.

Today, after sanding the wooden chair with 220 grit sandpaper to smooth the surface, I noticed that support struts running from leg to leg that I had re-glued into position had loosened, so I decided to re-attach them with no.6 wood screws.
I purchased a 3/32" bit, some no.6x 1-3/4" screws, drilled and counter-sunk holes, re-seated the struts in their respective holes using a rubber mallet, and tightly screwed the assembly together.
Then some additional coats of paint to cover the bare wood re-exposed by the sanding.
Just one decision left to make.
Do I apply a clear coat of lacquer to protect the finish, or leave it as is?

By way of full disclosure, if I could start again from scratch, I would simply sand the chair and otherwise leave it in the raw, weathered condition I found it, and apply a clear coat to seal it.
Live and learn.

Put this cute fake fire hydrant in my new pup’s (Chance) backyard pen. Maybe it’ll work.

It won’t work unless you connect it to a water supply
