We drove down to the airport today to drop my wife’s sister off for her flight home. it was so good to have her over for the last month and change. She is an active and happy person and really enjoyable to have around. She has helped us out with getting set up for Farmer’s Markets and has really enjoyed exploring around and learning what she can of our many hobbies. It’s been a bummer that she was out during the hot season, but at this point, she has seen our place at the hottest and coldest periods of the year. I hope she can come again when it is much more temperate and enjoyable, and easy to be outside or in the shop busy doing things. She never got to spend as much time at the lathe as she wanted to, nor did she get to work at the sawmill. But that’s fine too, since she was happy to be working on everything she did keep busy at, especially working with the laser, which she says she wants one of. Well, who doesn’t?
Naturally, Sis gets on the plane and the wind howls all the way home and all evening as the temperature drops to a much more pleasant one. We are meant to only get to the mid 70’s tomorrow and the next day. Classic. We have been soaring around the high 90’s the bulk of the time she’s been here. Yeah, next time she comes, it needs to be in the spring or autumn. What a laugh!
Well, with the temperatures dropping, I need to get at some of my chores around here and get things done that must be done before the snow flies. I’d be really excited to get that woodshed done. I have secured more cinder blocks to prop it up, and that is great! I think it will need them. The extra blocks came from under the sawmill. I am setting it on treated wood, and that on the ground for the time being.
It’s been a long day today, and I am off to bed now. I put my hand made table under the monitor at my computer and put my keyboard on it. I restarted the computer, too. I’d like to fix the chair height adjuster so it will keep me up on the normal level so I can feel like a grown up at my desk. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
