Sever clear skies today and no rain.
Feb. 20th, 2021 10:15 pmToday was a rather nice day although a bit on the cold side. It was really just a bit too much for the jacket I wore this morning but fortunately I wasn't out in the cold very long and it did warm up nicely. Just warm enough to be in the shop doing just a few odd and ends. Nothing major at all. The next above average rain chance is next Thursday followed by several more days with just above average rain chances. Nothing too high. Just have to wait and see if we actually get rain. Tomorrow should be severe good weather. Looks like it is going to be in the low 70's which is a major change.
No eBay today but I did order some more plastic sheet to make buss bars. Thought I had plenty left but couldn't find any so I just order another sheet. I have been using polyethylene cutting boards. Haven't been out to check the mail. Probably do that tomorrow and not when I go out to put up the car tonight.
I did open my new MaxBrigth Aladdin and almost immediately screwed up the burner. Don't know how that happened but I managed to take it apart and fix it. Thought I was just going to have to order another one. Burners aren't exactly cheap. I did break a mantel and those aren't cheap ether but I got it full of kerosene and did a short test burn. Not sure exactly what the difference is between a MaxBright and the old Aladdins. Probably never test them side by side. I do have another MaxBright burner that should be in Monday for my other lamp. Going to try not to screw up the burner on this one. I am glad I could repair the new one.
No housework today. I did put out my recyclable so maybe that is under the category of house work. This time I just mixed my paper and plastic. Did just a bit of project work. Cut some pieces of aluminum bar and channel to make buss bars. For woodworking I modified my router table to fix an alignment issue. Works better now. Don't know what I didn't do this before. Also I am building a jig to align the fence parallel to the slide channel. Was always difficult to do it with a square. This should simplify it quite a bit. And make it like a two minute job instead of a 15 minute job taking three hands. Also cut what I think is called a dado in the sides or my six sided box to recess the bottom. Did just a bit of rearranging in my shop.
Couldn't watch the launch of the Antares live because I had an appointment that overlapped the launch. But I forgot about it anyway but did watch the replay. Don't know when the next Falcon 9 is going to launch. No date given for it.
Working on an HEB Delivery order. Can't get a delivery date yet so I can't release it. Going to work on it until I can. Probably going to be my biggest order yet.
Gold and crude usually don't trade on Saturday.
Viewing entertainment today was just episodes of YouTube videos.
Need to check for the premium channel free preview weekend now that I can. Just checked and it isn't.
Tomorrow is another always anticipated installment of LOL Cats. Always a Sunday Favorite of mine.
Got the shop sorted. Was really in a mess for just the minor projects I did today. Going to put up the car in a little bit.
No bills paid today although Trugreen did a lawn treatment today so I do have a bill I should pay.
No tent time in quite a while. Now that is is warmer I think I will consider putting it back up. Tent poles are too short but I think I am going to leave it like that.
Going to put up the car.
I think that is going to do it for tonight.
