ChuckAb3 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Merry Christmas Eve guys. Looks like a windy Christmas in our metro area with snow in the mountains. I've never dreamed of a windy Christmas. Getting ready for the Mob tomorrow but not a big deal. Still gotta wrap presents for Better Half Unit and help with grocery shopping. Be safe and take 'er easy. Chuck 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making only slightly less than the previous job and the environment is great. Doing IT/desktop support where my wife also works, a facility that works with developmentally disabled folks. We're about 70% linux and the rest is Windows. At 67, I am ok with it. Awesome news! It's the best time of the year for something positive to happen.....congrats. 2 hours ago, Tigerman said: Good morning friends............... Chuck, that scene looks very inviting Enjoy!

How's the finger Bill? Chuck, the finger is getting better, thanks. Thursday I went to Ortho Dr, his nurse had to cut the skin to get to the stitches, wasn't fun. He said it looks good, expect some "deadness" because I severed a nerve. An operation to splice that nerve back is iffy because it's so close to the end of it's length, I chose not to operate. I have to keep it splinted and wrapped for 2-3 more weeks. I did manage to build my Wife's barn door for a closet. I used inexpensive pine, distressed it, then stained it with a mix of 75% dark walnut/25% red mahogany blend. I did one coat of clear satin poly. I wanted to try to get a gray weathered wood look, but my experiments with different colored stains didn't turn out well. I still have to fills some holes and paint the trim....here's a pic. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Bill I saw a guy on TV who made a solution to make new wood look weathered. I missed an ingredient though. Metal shavings and apple cider vinegar....let marinade a day or so.....strain it and spray it on. Looked great on his shed. Wish I had caught the 3rd ingredient. Brunch looks great Gary! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Thanks Ceptor (and Chuck). That door project looks GREAT! Do you have a guide at the floor to keep it from swinging in or out while in motion ? Good news on that finger too ! Actually, the links are vegetarian, the omelet is eggwhites... So, it is pretty healthy eating, and contrary to what many a carnivore would think, the links are made with the same herbs/spices as the meat versions, so the taste is the same, even the eggs one can't tell the difference. So, it is a cholesterol free plate.... (not on statins, just watching what I eat long before the doctor has to ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
