Yea, but I come from a town that the city limits signs are on the same post....

We don't have a stop light, we have a country market and a gas station... the largest building is the fire department.

Road trip to Roxboro tomorrow morning.
If this machine is as nice as the guy say's it is, and the way it looks in the picture, I'm coming home with a Shopsmith (nicer than the one I had back home) and some cool accessories.
The pictures suck, but this is what I'm hoping to bring home tomorrow.

So the weather people called it right. It snowed. I'm not sure this is 3 to 7 inches of snow. Glad I got the water heater put in yesterday.

We are still getting rain in Stella... but apparently by looking at my Facebook it's only my house that it is raining at because everyone on my Facebook says it is snowing.

Some weird white stuff began falling from the sky a few minutes ago...

I wish we could get about a inch so I could go play for a little bit, then it be gone before I head to work tomorrow morning.

Good question, last I looked nothing really stuck. Only upside is we got a good bit of rain so it knocked the pollen down for a bit.

It stuck a bit here. Maybe 1/2". But it won't last at least...

My son Tim and I had a good trip to Roxboro, and back. And I'm happy to say, that I'm the proud owner of another Shopsmith

Good morning everybody!
Nothing much on my plate today, imagine that.
Since we snagged that shopsmith yesterday, I already have my eyes on a couple different toys back home that a really close friend has for sale.
I love wood working, and want to make bench's and tables, and such. I have on our front porch a 6' Cedar bench made out of a 2" slab, and I'm seeing these bring pretty good money. And I've found companies back home that are selling live slabs (Still has Bark on them) of all types of wood. They are all air dried slabs, and ready to go. I've talked to a couple of them places, and not too bad prices.
I'm hoping to make some money to help at home, and get me some well needed shop therapy.

Hope y'all have a great day!
