Well I think I have my errands done, and the neck is almost full.
Now to start on a rocking chair I want to take apart and refurbish.
Tomorrow (Friday the 16th) I start Physical Therapy. I have some how, at least partially torn my left rotator cuff.
If 6 weeks of P.T. don't do any good, the I see a surgeon. Imagine, that, me seeing a surgeon.

Wood Lathe
Anybody in our area that has a Wood Lathe I could play with for a couple of hours
I'm redoing an old wood rocker for the front porch. I have a lot of the flat stuff like seat, rockers, arm rest' sanded but I'm looking for a wood lathe to put the spindles on a sand them smooth.
I'm even thinking about a 1" drill and I could put the spindles in the drill chuck, fire up the drill and sand away

So I was trying to wrap up the bike yesterday, I'm lining up the floorboard and pick up one of the bolts, go to pick up the other and it's gone.... apparently the basset hound puppy picked it up and wandered off with it somewhere...

I really don't think he ate it and just dropped it somewhere in the yard. It was a M10 about 1.5" long, o well lawnmower will probably find it. It wasn't chrome, just a plain ol 8.8 bolt. Picked up a new one last night from lowes so going to finish it up this afternoon.

Well had a side job this morning to do brake pads and rotors on a 04 2500hd, that turned into brake pads rotors and wheel bearing hub assembly. Good for me, other than the 4 bolts that were stuck and impact wouldn't even budge. However bad for the owner who wasn't expecting a $170 wheel bearing. 3 hours to do all that in the driveway with a parts store run for the new bearing.

How's this "Gas Shortage" affecting yall out that way?? I thought it was Bull****, but got out today and took me 3 stations to find 87. So I filled my truck up, along with work truck up. Also went ahead and topped off the lawn mower, motorcycle and Ol' Blue just in case, also filled up my 5 gallon can for a little extra.
