Ok back to abnormal, gone for a week and had 3 cups of coffee, home since Sunday night and more than 2 pots by myself, probably have to make another this evening. 

 

Glad to be back to my bed, shower, stereo, coffee pot and everything else old people get use to. Had a great time with friends but glad to be home.

How does the curator @JRH feel about temporary sign?  At least it’s not  Velcro.  Jim’s job seems secure enough.

Well the original sign is carved into the wood so I made the bottom one from Cypress and painted it the same colors. But it's not engraved just painted on and sandpaper can change it, not that there is a need for that, just saying. I don't carve, route letters anyway.

I hope the weather holds out for them.

It did, last Tuesday it got cloudy and rained about 5 miles away but that was it, we were lucky last year it stormed so we had no choice but to put the bands inside but that worked out so well we just had the band inside.  The clubhouse is big enough for all of us and a band.

 

Tuesday, pic of some of the lake and lake house with cloudy skies.

One member  Scott Yocum brought piles of deserts for everyone and also decorated cookies for all the plant employees to go with the BBQ lunch Rodney cooked, sponsored by our forum members, the real reason this all got started up again. There were many boxes like this, enough for all plant employees and forum members, that's just how Mr Yocum is. 

 

100% edible, and I did.

Of all deserts cookies are on top of the list with chips, so you might be right. I never got this size from being shy.   :blush2:

It is tough to let a project go, especially with all the parts collected for such.

But if it is not in the cards for you to complete it then you are making a wise decision.

I congratulate you on not being "that guy" who just hoards it, but selling it to someone who hopefully will finish the project.

Sometimes that still doesn't make it it any easier to sell.

Do you know what brand the BBQ sauce was at the plant lunch? It was different than what was at Rodney's place....I think.

I don't know, I learned when Rodney is in the kitchen on a mission it's best to just leave him alone, the most I would say it do you need help ?

We have been going there for a few years and the most he has let me do is cook rice once.

 

But about the sauce I know there was a few big bottle of BBQ sauce someone brought and gave to Rodney, they were on the table. He may have used them for one or the other BBQ things that may have been why they were different ? I seen the bottle on the table and asked what they were and was told by someone they brought them for Rodney, but I don't remember who it was or how it was used.

Gone !

This is very strange reading this, just last week in Hope Kevin's little brother Brandon brought a similar model, but his is the hardtop model. He brought it on a trailer to ride it around the property one more time because it's about to be painted.
