What Did You do Today?

[timely]

After cleaning some house stuff, and some gross stems, did some laundry. Then talked for an hour on the webcam to my lovely grandsons and my daughter, who is an awesome mom. My 2 grandsons have Autism and they keep my daughter very busy to say the least. And went back to cleaning the down right awful grungy, tar filled stems. I will never understand people who let their pipes get that bad, how could you even get a drag out of it with that gunk? YUK !!! My highlight of the day is seeing and talking to my daughter and my grandsons.

[8O] Good God Hobie you're an industrious man!

Too many projects at this point in my life, I wish I had a lot more free time instead of spending it on this money pit.
I thought about starting a speaker building thread, but that's pretty off topic for a pipe smoking site.
I would have never thought that we would have wire insulator shows....talk about specialty shows.

so far today I have stacked a cord of firewood and the afternoon will be cleaning gutters. tomorrow will be mowing 2 acres of grass and getting the garage squared away for winter. can't wait until someone buys this place and I can rent and let someone else worry abut roofs, wells, mowing, trimming, yadda, yadda..

Yesterday I spent the whole time collecting the fallen leaves from Sandy. I use them for mulch in my garden and to insulate my fig trees for winter. My neighbors has them all out in neat piles by the curb. I also went around town and hand picked future firewood from their piles of downed trees. I will be borrowing my father's chainsaw and maul and will have a good stack for the cold months.
Today I am stuck in an office for 10 hours.

Put another coat of Watco oil on my 8ft long Walnut butcher block top for my subwoofer cabinet that will reside under my 110" diagonal projection screen. This is what it looked like naked:

after 2 coats:

Hobie that walnut butcher block is one of the greatest things I've ever seen made out of wood in my 42 years!
Today my son and I went hiking.

Took the day off, made a Citrus run yesterday , fruit for the elderly and the poor, decided to take off my forks on my bucket on my big tractor, they had been on for 2 years, Big Mistake, 15 min job became a 2 hr job, crawled in the house wringing wet with sweat, had to use a cheater and a 36 inch pipe wrench, got em off, but they whipped me. Went to bed early, took 4 Advils and zonked out. The old cajun

 

[pstlpkr]

I started 66 sets of Super Hots' seeds... 13 new varieties. :twisted:

Should be a very hot summer. :D

Thought I'd revive the thread since I'm back in action. Had a garage sale on Saturday. Went today to finish a Home Theater job my son and I have been working on....now have to chance the system around since the customer wants to add some more things.

Was one of about 25 people who read short segments published in an anthology of writers from our

city, at the local independent bookstore. This publisher has done five cities throughout the state and

is planning more. People showed up, standing room only, and stayed through the end. It was well

organized, so people only read a few minutes each. I rehearsed like the devil over several days, so

did my segment effectively, I hope. Then we all signed books. Not a big moneymaker for writers, but

a way to attain some visibility. Plus, who doesn't like a little public attention now and then, even an old

introvert hermit like me. Puff-puff. The writer who was master-of-ceremonies has had big play in

national publications reviewing a novel he just published with St. Martin's Press, a NY outfit.

 

[tarak]

Church, lead two services. Had family over from both sides, food, Xbox, hung out with the kid, now smoking a pipe and watching Star Trek on Netflix.

[trailspike48]

Painting a room in the basement, later I will be installing birch wood flooring. I plan to put in an exhaust fan, so I will have a room to smoke in this winter. It gets dam cold here in the Teton Valley.

 

[mso489]

Doing re-write edits and proofing on a book manuscript due via email before end of month. Enjoying a smoke

and quick Forums stint after late lunch. Now to read it to myself aloud. There go the rest of my brain cells.
