House work is going ahead. Back and side by the driveway is ready for the last layer, and back on the other side is started.  The front of the house is going to be different all together so we will get the siding and trim up on all the rest first.  Found out there wasn't enough cavity for the blown in insulation because in some parts there was no ( Read more... )

Back from IMrL. The drive down and setup went smoothing and a good time was had all weekend.  Sales could have been better, I just made the booth fee in sales (in money, not in profit), and that isn't counting the other expenses (hotel, food, parking).  For the first showing for Hardpoints I think it went well. Several wholesale inquiries that will ( Read more... )

Friday night I finished up the leather working project that consumed the week.  Six 9"x13" painted leather patches. Saturday I ran some Cat5 around under the eaves at the house for the wireless link to the studio. Got that all working and configured the new airport express at the studio to provide wireless in the studio as the link operates on a ( Read more... )

Monday I did some more welding on the rack, cleaned up the garage a little, and did some work on the Jetta. Even managed to watch the rest of a TV show I started a month ago. Tuesday was dinner and some shopping with alyska.  Wednesday was Archery and Fighter practice, got a few good rounds in with a bow before getting a few good rounds in with the ( Read more... )

Kilt selling went well over the Memorial day weekend, and I even had time to expand my thoughts on my KDS ventures and give myself a deadline to 'ship' something. Kind of aggravating to then not be able to physically do anything about it until last night, but that is what was needed.  After getting back on May 31st, the 1st and 2nd were at the day ( Read more... )

Full weekend. Friday night was socializing, Saturday was cleaning the grill during the market, and adjusting the hot tub chemicals. The afternoon and evening was filled with more socializing and hanging out in the back yard while I tended to the potatoes on the grill as the houseguests made dinner. The kitties enjoyed the time out in the yard. ( Read more... )

Haven't done a whole lot off the project lists since the weekend. I did some quicken work to bring it all up to date. Got a letter saying that the credit card that I moved to a 0% card and was planning on closing in a month will be closed at the end of October because the credit card company will no longer be offering the rewards program. I burned ( Read more... )

So, good weekend. Friday at noon I picked up my new glasses and started wearing them. Odd, but adapting. Got home and made dinner (lightly breaded and fried pork chop bits with soy-ish fried noodles), and then moved enough things out of the way to get the oven cabinet emptied and moved out to the driveway. Then we were able to tip it over so I ( Read more... )

Got a lot done this weekend and felt productive. Friday night I did some web work and took it easy ( Read more... )

Nice long weekend, some dock sitting, some trail hiking, some trail ATV riding, some boat rowing, and good quality time with alyska and techdragon. Detour on the way back to stop in Hayward where techdragon used to vacation when younger ( Read more... )
