Went forward in time this morning and backward in time this afternoon. Drove down off the mountain this morning about a hour for a dental appointment. The trees are bare up here but on the drive down spring appeared. Red Buds were blooming as was the Bradford Pears. The trees were waking up. Saw the dentist and hit the road back. Coming back I went backward in time and the leaves vanished and trees are still sleeping up here on the mountain. Every time I drive down the mountain I get to see the beauty of spring, most years several times.
Replaced three outdoor steps up a bank to my studio. Cut some recycled PT 2x4x 12" and bored two 3/8 holes centered a couple of inches in from both ends. Pinned the step in with 3/8 rebar 12" long. Pulled the blade on the lawnmower and sharpened it. Will start a flat of radicchio and escarole tomorrow.
I bought a new moving coil phono cartridge that arrived yesterday, and for the first time in my life, I installed a cartridge on a headshell. It was nerve-wracking due to the tiny wires and precision required, and the distinct possibility of damaging the stylus or cantilever in the process. I've been a nervous Nelly for the last couple of days in anticipation of this. But my normal approach to difficult tasks is to tell my stinkin'-thinkin' to shut up and realize the people who get paid to do this stuff are not any smarter or more capable than me. On Monday I will set up my turntable with this new cartridge and get everything else lined up which is also a complicated task.
Best wishes to you @Jrflickster . I served one 4-year term as a town councilman for my town of a few hundred residents, in the early 90s. It was the worst four years of my life.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

That joint is leaking and backing up and dripping under the sink. This will be a fine hvac guy fix for plumbing until the new faucet arrives
Thanks for catching that…I’m a stickler for spelling. Damn spell check 😉

My son baked a peach pie. It didn't make it to dinner.
Too bad, looks delicious except for the glass shards.Best switch to metal pie pans.

I've been building bows for a few years. Here's what I shoot.
Going thru more head count reduction tomorrow at work. They told everyone to stay home this time..... 🤞
That's gotta be nerve-wracking. Best wishes.
Good looking bow. I need to re-string my bows
Well?????
