To keep woodworking somewhere in there, tracked this down the other
day.http://www.popularmechanics.com/home...e/1273026.html

Reason being, I wanted a few measurements from it. I'm planning on
making a gun chest - don' need no steenkin' plans, but no need to
reinvent the wheel either. Need a place to park my shotgun - it's
summer, lots of new lawyers on the loose, and it's rabies season - never
can tell when you might get attacked by a rabid lawyer. LOL

Well, the Luv project has slowed down a bit. Is that possible?
Seems the kid is looking for a larger place, so put his up for sale. Ah
well. Children, you gotta love 'em - because you sure can't get rid of
'em.

But, on a positive side, coming up with some positive ideas for
the Dub project. Figured out I should be able to lighten it maybe
another 200 lbs; plus came up with some ways to do some mods easier,
faster, and cheaper, than I'd figured. Once the garage is up, should be
able to get on it first thing. The garage is slow going, but going.
I've been watching Monster Garage, for ideas, and actually got some.
LOL If the Dub was done on there, I figure it would take about a day,
start to finish, max two. It isn't gonna be a rat rod, but it will be a
bit crude, and rude.

Then once I have free space, planing on a boat. Just need to
decide which one I want most.

For a long time I've wanted to make a telescope. Dobsonian. But,
all the plans I looked at were complicated, and confusing. Then a few
months back I got a book oneBay, "Build Your Own Telescopes". Less than
$10, including shipping. Simple plans, and easy to understand.
Building should be no problem. Wood, of course. I'm gonna try to
squeeze one in after the Dub, use it for awhile, then either give it to
the grand-dau, or just keep it, and make one for her and her dad to put
together. One plan is supposedly simple enough for a pre-teen to put
together (4" f/10 refector), so they should have no problems.

The older son, and his family, went to visit his mother, her
dime. Otherwise he never would have gone. Long story. But, he was
able to relax some, and mostly had a pretty good time. From the
pictures they brought back, it would appear the ex had a boob job. That
made my dau-in-law almost hysterical when she heard that. The ex
doesn't care much for her, and vice versa. Another long story. She
told the ex I had said I wanted to come along (I hadn't), and apparently
the ex didn't care much for that idea. LOL I had been of the mind to
never go out there - but now I'm very open to maybe making a trip out
there. Just to say hi. Hehehehe Me and the dau-in-law get along just
fine by the way.

Probably drop by the older son's place tomorrow. Found a pre-boob
picture of the ex I wanna give the dau-in-law, and maybe buy a
lawnmower, for the son, as an early birthday present, or give him the
money to buy his own.

I think I've finally decided on a design for the new Tiki too. I'm
gonna double check, but think I'm good to go. I'll take a picture, once
it's painted.

Had started feeling bad for awhile. But, had started drinking
coffee several times a day again. So, stopped the coffe, and feel good
again. Strange. Used to almost survive on coffee in the Army. Maybe
all those years, and some really bad coffee, made me sensitive to it.
Used to smoke 5+ packs of cigarettes a day (quit about 30+ years ago),
and now very sensitive, if not allergic, to tobacco smoke. Maybe
something similar with coffee. I think I won't test the theory, I'll
just stay away from coffee. So, if anyone in the area ever wants to
meet for coffe, I'll stick to tea. Other than that, not bad - losing a
bit of weight, and meditation keeps the headache down. Life is still
basically good.

Later.

Cool. Thanks. :-)
Not bad here. Hot, muggy, hard to work up motivation to get out there in
the shop. Projects off schedule. Don't care. Otherwise, not bad.

Hey, let's take a left hand turn here and move from boob jobs to coffee.
I've been drinking more coffee than usual and wonder if it's been bothering
me, too.
I'm not a caffiene junkie usually but love iced coffee, little milk, one
sugar and I think I'm good to go in this weather.

1. Hot coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - try it!

2. 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups cold coffee, 1 tray of ice cubes into the blender on
high until getting smooth. Add two tablespoons sweetened condensed milk,
blend and pour into a large cup or canning jar. Eat with spoon or drink
with large straw.

3. 1 cup cold coffee, two tablespoons Hershy's Chocolate Syrup, tray of ice
cubes and stir. Might not sound like something that will put hair on your
chest but how many of you guys still need more hair?

4. 1 cup cold coffee, 2 ounces (or two squirts) of pre-sweetened or sugar
free American Vanilla syrup, or caramel syrup, or toffee syrup and the ever
popular tray of ice cubes.

What's your summer treat drink?

For Joat and others who are not happy with coffee and its effects
(affects?) try iced tea, decaffinated or regular. You can still ice the
stuff up in the blender and get a "Slurpie" kinda thing going.

1. Add syrup like lemon-lime (two squirts or 2 ounces) to get a different
taste.

2. Add syrup like raspberry or strawberry for another different taste.

3. Too bad you can't add chocolate to tea but most of you are men so the
chocolate isn't quite as important anyway.

The other really nice thing about tea, cold tea, is that you can put some
in a spray bottle for a cooling spray that smells pretty good, none of that
sissy, unmanly after shower spray that you buy from the stores. Towel off
your back, arms and face and spray on a light coating. Leave out the sugar.

I don't know, is it bothering you? LOL I used to drink coffee all
day long in the Army. Don't know if that had anything to do with it or
not. What I do know is, if I don't drink coffee, I definitely feel
better.

Try half hot coffee, half hot milk.

My summer drink? Used to be hot coffee. Now it's hot tea.

Yep, especially in the summer and especially Old Spice.

My mother used to mix sugar and water as a hair tonic for my brothers.
Kept their hair in place and had a nice shine, too.

You know, a couple of changes here and there?

And I used to hope the ants would get them, but they still insist they were
not bothered by either. They probably didn't smell right to begin (!)
with and the sugar wasn't enough to make the bees and ants take risks.
