Two days in a row that the temps have been in the 40’s or higher! Yesterday was opening day of the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show so not much time was spent in the shop, but today I was agle to get into the shop and see what I had to do to get ready for warmer weather. I spent a little time cleaning the shop and then began the restoration of my newest basket-case: an early 1940’s Dunlap (Craftsman) 4” belt sander.
I wanted to spend the whole day in the shop, but since I did “me” things all day yesterday I spent some time with the wife this afternoon and we went to watch the Canadian Snow Geese at a local wildlife refuge.
If the temps stay in the 40’s/50’s, it will soon be time to start making some saw dust!

Oh I know what you are saying, but any days that the temps are in the high 40’s are good days.

Yah, I heard the weather report for this weekend and thought “Damn! I’ll get some time to work in the shop this weekend.”
Got up early Saturday morning, made coffee and then CRASH!
We had a lot of wind Saturday morning and it tore off a double storm window and 1/2 the siding on one side of my house! I spent most of the weekend on a ladder and on the phone to my home insurance company. Oh, well, next weekend, we’ll probably be back to snow and freezing.
