Mornin'.....
Off to Dodge a bit later.....and I say later because we're only 15 minutes away rather than 40. Less miles, less gas, more sleep.
Then home for a quick bowl of soup, then back to Fowler for another load.

Hot date with the Brazilian Grand Prix this morning, then more yardwork and NFL action this afternoon. I ran into E-Paul Tandberg at Podium yesterday, and we had a nice chat. Life on the edge as a bachelor non-farmer in Minnesota.  |

Mike New tools going in the Podium, old tools going to my home shop. Got the sander and drill press in the truck without hurting myself, now I have to get them from the truck to the basement. Not too bad really, the stand for the sander is rather awkward and the sander itself is heavy, so is the head for the drill press since the motor is still attached, but the rest is easy to move. |

1582 - William Shakespeare marries Anne Hathaway
I wonder if Jethro Bodine knew about this?
Rainy. All day type rain. Two kilns going again today. MONSTER order about 1/2 done. New item in the works.
I'm jealous of the Podium life. Everyone seems to be there.

Good morning... damn that John Walker. My last marriage was a friction match if ever there was one. Yeah, his Scotch is nothing to write home about either. Went to the golf course this morning but my heart and body weren't into it so I just played a couple of holes and came home. On the up side, I was talking to m son about Christmas lists and then he was complaining about the money he's making after 2 years in D.C. and still not being able to afford to live there and said he was thinking of voting Republican next year. So, that makes me feel better. |

Got the machinery in the basement, getting tired of schlepping heavy crap around. That's the one talent that I have. Along with owning a pickup truck. I'm always there after the fact for you, Marty. |

Got the water leak under house fixed. 3 wet/muddy trips under. 2 trips into town to Lowes. But it's done.

Fatstrat, that water leak is one several reasons we don't raise cattle anymore. Gloves just don't warm anything up when you're digging around in half-fozen mud when it's 30 below. I don't miss that at all.
