Mornin' gents.

Me girls let me sleep in today. Nice.
Its supposed to be a pretty yucky day with freezing rain all day.
I hit four different grocers yesterday looking for fresh or frozen shucked oysters. Nope. I settled for salmon fillet on the grill.

Onward and downward ;-)

Good morning gentlemen.

Feeling better, almost well.

The rains have returned. It's 40 degrees and pouring outside. Going to keep it up for a while, too. Rain or rain and snow for the next week. This is far more the norm for this time of year.

Failed to turn some maple logs my sister gave me. They were too rotten to salvage. To rebuild my spirits, I started a small madrone hollow form. I'll spend some more time on that today, I think.

Good Morning

I don't like milk or sugar in my coffee, so the idea of mushroom power is a non starter and a likely temptation to think judgemental thoughts about people who do.

Dave, its good to hear you are well into your recovery and back out in the shop. Rain has indeed returned for the week. But we sure enjoyed that nice stretch of blue skies. Heather is under the weather so we stayed put yesterday except for a quick trip to pick up a few things at the store. I made pizza dough, sauce and a couple of pizza's yesterday. Dough was not my best, showing the rust of the last couple of years and the sauce was pretty good but can be better. Got a bunch frozen. I need to find my pizza stone. I will tackle some things on the eternal list of stuff for the house and keep Heather company. I will sneak out for a walk and start a stretching routine which is way past due. I took myself of Meloxicam on Monday to give my body a break. Technically I don't need it for my back anymore but after 10 years I am used to just taking it. In the past when I have had to go off for a long stretch it took a few weeks for my mind to adjust to the arthritic discomfort and then not notice it. I will use Tylenol DM as needed and movement.
