Great Friday off work... We were out to sea for 2 months so they gave us a day off... So we spent it up at Blue Trails Range popping off a few rounds... M1 Garand, AR-15 (some bitch weighs like 12 lbs), P-90, .357 magnum, and a 1911... Day well used I feel... Anyone know of anything going on tomorrow...

Morning Jim and everyone else.
I went to Tilted Kilt last night with a buddy, it was worth the trip.
Enjoy your weekend.
I need to go grout a floor this morning.

I do Jim.
I do a lot of kit/bath work.
I enjoy doing it and it pays well.
The tile I am grouting today is the floor in a bath remodel.
It is 1"x1" glass.
It is going to take a TON of grout.
My older boy is coming with me to wring out the sponges.

Glass mosaic sounds a little slippery for a floor.
Multi colored, painted back,... iridescent?

Glad you have a helper, you'll need him.
Next thing you know you will have him mixing thinset and grout to the right consistency.

I would not have chosen it.
But the K/B designer picked it out. he says the grout lines make it anti slip !!!
They are a frosted sea glass.
I have about 60 lbs of grout for it.
It really eats it up.
He is excited to go to work with dad, he is a good kid.

Designers sometimes never consider practicality.
I like the look of frosted sea glass, but it can be a b!*** to get all the haze off.

I'm sure your son is a good kid.
And I'm also sure that he's enthusiastic about seeing how you make a living.

Good Saturday morning Connecticut
Good morning Jim, Andy, Miles and Greg!

Well the storm has passed, but the boro, is still out of electric this morning!
Andy when you do the grout, do you come back and seal it!

Good luck with the brake job, Greg

My brother lives right down the road from Blue Trails.

Gotta love the 'Ca-chinG' as the en bloc ejects from that Garand.
There's never any doubt that you're out of ammo.
