Yesterday I went to meet a tool buyer and had to wait about an hour. At least he showed ( many Facebook buyers don't ) , and I had taken a few other wrenches he may have wanted and he did buy a few more than he planned !
While I waited, I did manage to shoot some pictures, not moving more than ten feet from where I stood.
Today I am going to a planning meeting for a November Art Walk that our local art society has each year.

These are the photos I shot yesterday-

 It does , doesn't it ! It is on the edge of town and I bet it has been overloaded to cover the expansions there.

You kinda get used to spaghetti off the posts.    The utility guys do 98% of it for us.

  The triphase is near always clean and perfect but cable/phone/110 service is more creative.

Just spent a good part of the day in the shop dealing with stuff. Getting ready to head to dinner and going to the flat track MC races at the fairgrounds. The neighbor's son will be racing in the expert class.

Picked squash again today, planted four kinds of winter squash this year, butternut, Canadian butternut, sweet Greek butternut and acorn.  So far I have picked about 100 of all varieties combined.  First picture is my shop bathtub----don't know where to put them.  Second picture is a sweet Greek butternut, it weights 5.5 pounds.

The shoppette is only 5' wide so I had to plan how to prep for the floor to ceiling shelves on the back wall.  2nd coat paint on walls and blue paint on floors .  I have about three gallons in that bucket of mixed up tail ends of years of painting here.    It ended up baby blue and sticks to greased glass.  Nasty stuff but wears well.

   Shelves will be 12" deep by 5' spaced about a foot apart going all the way up.  Vertical I have 11' up so I can get 55' squared. Into 5' square of floor.  Makes for a bigger workbench.

Washed the bike yesterday, then took Sam to his first baseball game. He behaved perfectly for all 9 innings!

Today I went on a ride with a group of friends.

(Please let me know how these pictures are posting. I'm posting them through Flickr APP on my phone. All I'm see is a link to click on. Do the pictures display for everyone else or just links?)

Just the links. They do connect to the image if clicked on.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

Muddy- On Flickr select the share button and choose BB code, and copy it.  Then post directly in your post when you are done writing the post.

Worked on a forklift mast I am re-earing to fit a different machine.

Actually played a game of how many grinder can I use on one job, and how big of a hose and lead bird's nest can I make.
