Lake time.  Stocked up for a visit from Piney and Sandy.

Hopefully you'll be able to get some rest, you've had a hard couple of weeks.

Took today and tomorrow off.  Time zone changes are a fecker.  Good news is N gathered some Guinness draught and Smithwicks at the store today.  Should keep the shakes away tomorrow.  Irish brews are legit!

Waiting on a roast.

May you have to open a new bottle before it's done....assuming that is a good thing.

Yeah if I had another one to open......oh wait...

That is a nice cork collection you have there. 

I have about a 100x of those in the house.

I'm cutting heavy azzed pieces of limestone in this blazing Texas heat. I must be one of those dumb aggies they tell jokes about...

The kitchen is moving forward however.

Nothing like a plan coming together.

I love the limestone down there, many fossils?

If my basement floods, I will be safe.

I talked My Beautiful Wife out of having me do that. 
Please do not show her that picture.
She will have me with a glue gun sticking those damn things on the walls of our kitchen.

Quick!  Get a wood chipper and turn 'em into mulch for the garden.  Can't glue that on the walls.

YukonRon

I am embarrassed to tell you about my woodchipper. I am screwed.

bgebrent

Saved you a ton of glue though.

They can be great problem solvers.  Watch out for titanium.

At least it's not ferromagnetic.  Has certain benefits.

Yeah, tons. Wait until we get our bathrooms done.......

I shoved a limb that was maybe a bit over sized in it a couple years ago.....turns out, it had more metal in it than an Abrams. Good way to find that out, you know, after you push it in the chipper.
It still shreds leaves very nicely though.
I felt like an idiot, when I heard it grind to a stop.

I've hit some of those hidden gems with chainsaws and, because I make lots of stuff with recycled wood, my shop tools.

I bought a great metal detector that's paid for itself many times over in tool steel.

CSPAN at 0130 is always exciting. No repeal, no replace. Meep-meep.

Can't wait for the inevitable tweetstorm later today.

Don't get me started about chainsaws. I find a lot of metal with those too.
I like your suggestion on the metal detector.
I have always wanted one.

Ron, this is what I have and it works great.

I like it. That would have paid for itself just on the cost of the chains for my saw, when I took down my neighbor's tree for them.
I am getting it.
Trying to get the woodwork in our old home ready to paint, this thing would be great to help find nails.

The senior Senator from Arizona.  I didn't think he had it in him, but there you have it.

@foghorn 5 people fishing. My son and I pulled in 2 a piece. Good morning until he got his share of the 4' seas.  Spent the last two hours bent over the gunwales. 

@theyolksonyou, now you have some great fish and a great story.  

Sorry for your son though.

That looks like a sweet boat.

Have I mentioned our 100 year + home has neither a square corner or a wall that is plumb? How did they build homes like this and they stand for over 100 years, while people continually say: "they don't build them like they used to." ???
I hope they don't.  
This, the remodeling of an old home, is the express lane to zero wealth (next to the BGE ownership, of course).
