Off to La La Land

Off tomorrow for a fun filled 11 day trip to the planet of the crazies. You know you are not looking forward to this when the best part is that it includes 4 days on the road. 

Got the laser etching done on Louis's chair/stool.  Thought I'd have a name tag made (required for my woodworking group) while I was there.  I used a 1" scrap for the name tag so there is a bit of work left to do on that one.  Or I could use large zip ties to attach it to my shirt.  I'm thinking Velcro.



Got the retaining wall portion of the fence repair job done.  All that is left is backfill, replace the pavers and we'll get one side yard back.  That covers about 1/4 of the fence that may need the same treatment.

Three small bucks hanging out in front of Home Depot. Must not be hunting season yet.


Had some spectacular weather over the past few days. Since this sunset at the end of a few days of thunderstorms, we've had two days of perfect weather.

Stay cool, I hear it is still hot out there.

PS: I gave up on my camera over a month ago. The phone has been my camera for the past few posts.
