Good morning everyone happy Friday! Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm still trying to get over this cold or whatever it is I have and have been super low on energy this weeks. Work has been super busy which makes it worse so by the time I have been getting home my brain is already in zombie mode and I have fallen asleep in my recliner. Hugs to you all!
Good morning Peanut, get well soon, Turkey day is coming!

Go figure it’s usps. I never have issues with ups or fedex. But usps? Always seems to have issues with delayed packages!
Good morning Bailey!

All I can say is that a certain someone, who may or may not be married to another certain someone, is lucky I got all my stuff. Otherwise, it would be email war! HA!

Brought the top of the stand in the house to put screen moulding around the edge. It was too cold in the garage. My wife did the stain and glaze after I tacked it on.

Looks like this thread is quickly gaining on 100,000. Based on a little math and a semi-educated guess, I predict some lucky someone will get the 100,000th post on, or around, December 7th. I find this sort of thing exciting! (Yes, I happen to notice and observe odd things in life in an odd way sometimes.)
