2021 what did you do today?

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

Flem, I need to follow suit...I might actually have room then! I priced that foil backed insulation the other day...Holy cow inflation!

I did get the Rosewood Archery price sheet today !
Have you saw the price of the Black and White Ebony per board ft?

Cleaned my bench off. First time I have seen the whole top in years!

Decided it was a good time to do a quick sand and seal. Probably should have flipped it over

After looking at all that real estate, I thought can I use the IR heater hanging over the bench for a knock together heat corral?
[attachment=2,msg2986097]

The answer is yes! It's a bit wasteful though. The IR lamp puts out 1100watts and it needs to be high above the bench. Plus its only 4', which leaves 1' on each end in a cooler zone. On the other hand, my box only uses 300watts and has a circulation fan. But for heavy or complicated pressing, it might be worth sorting out the cons, to not have to move it.

Looks like you were able to jam it all under the bench.   

[Flem]

No, that was already trashed

Got parts I ordered from Grizzly yesterday afternoon about 2:00 , had her running properly in a few minutes !! Happy happy !!

  EDIT : Should have made that more clear, ordered and received parts in less than 24 hours!!

It's been fairly warm for December here. I spent some time yesterday and today in the shop going through my wood stash. I sorted through the bamboo pile and picked out some slats for use in next year's bow swap, if we hold one. I also dug out some roughed out risers. Lots of possibilities, although I think I'll make a trip to the wood wonderland for a few more possibilities. 😁
After that, I cut some live edge osage and spalted maple for cheese boards and started working on a carved box for a good friend of mine.
All in all a good time. I sure am glad that I booked the holidays off.

Roy, is the hot tub ready? 

I'll be there in a couple days

[Roy from Pa]

Yup it's ready, put antifreeze in it so it doesn't freeze...

[Flem]

You making Moonshine up there?

[Roy from Pa]

 

[Buemaker]

Should be a nice New Year. Did you bring fireworks?

[Roy from Pa]

Dog is afraid of fireworks, had a bad experience when she was 6 months old. A rocket went haywire, flew right past her and went off 6 feet from her.

I'm jealous of y'all, Roy. It was 61 degrees when I woke up this morning. Haven't had a fire in the wood stove for days now. Hopefully by this weekend winter will show up. I sure do miss it and would love to see a little snow.

[Longcruise]

Bout 45 here but the wind is 50 mph. 

[Longcruise]

Hitting over 100 mph just west of me.  None of this is coming in my direction.

From the local news:

"The entire town of Superior in Boulder County is under mandatory evacuation order. The evacuation point is the South Boulder Recreation Center.

The situation in Superior deteriorated rapidly. Video shows Costco shoppers in Superior being engulfed in smoke as they run to evacuate the area."

[Flem]

You have wild fires going on in Colorado?? 

[Roy from Pa]

Don't you watch the news?
Over 100 homes have burnt in Boulder and the town evacuated.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

That's bad! Daughter just got out of Denver last fall. She is a travel nurse and did a stay there.
Prayers to all who lost homes.

Reminds me of the fire "tornado" that struck Gatlinburg TN a few years back.
