It was a fairly productive day in the shop. This thing is huge. I never really anticipated being able to fit this cabinet together inside. I kinda envisioned it being fit together out side in the drive way, which would have been a pia, so im pretty happy with the project so far.
I also fired up the BBQ this afternoon for a whole chicken, lightly smoked, that's the way I like them. My wife makes a good potato salad too. We're pretty traditional like that here on the west coast. Although a hot dog was sounding good as well. They always seem appropriate around the holidays...or hell, any day really. As I age, these seem to be the days that stand out, and that I look forward to the most. A gathering with friends and family. A special meal. A bit of a splurge on dessert, of course. And a good laugh, to help drown out the monotony of every day life. Happy memorial day everyone.

I almost forgot, great news. I'm finally getting some help again tomorrow. My cousin's husband is being laid off from new construction. Their next job is being delayed after the recent rise in interest rates. Too bad for them, but good news for me. I need the help. And I had already put Mike through a trial run on a second story deck earlier this spring. If he was trying to impress me, he did, and nonchalantly at that. For the little amount of time he's been in construction he's gained a lot of knowledge. He was a mover before that, which is about half of building, so it seems to mesh.
Today I learned what a group of pandas are called... probably would have been less damaging if my mom called me a group of pandas lol.

I was reading a book about Africa yesterday and saw one I had not heard of, a bloat of Hippopotami. Course, I had to go down that
List of Names for Groups of Animals: A Complete Glossary
There's a unique collective noun for any group of animals. "Stench" for a group of skunks, for example. We may not often use them, but it's still good to know animal group names.

Well compared to what they have today, yeah...
My grandfather made a decent living running that from the 1960s into the late 80's. I'd say he got his money's worth. He kept it in the back of a 70s ford van. Turned the inside of the van roof all black.
I have 2. The one pictured still runs. The other is for parts.

I’ve seen some really old nice utility trucks that people built themselves that would blow some of this new stuff out of the water you don’t see people with pride and good craftsmanship and do things like that anymore it’s all about the convenience and what’s New that they could buy and show off

Yeah after your first post about the welder you sound like someone who appreciates craftsmanship

I’m a mill Wright was a welder for 14 years and a plumber in the army for 8 I work with all kinds of different machinery that does all sort of crazy stuff and it makes you really appreciate good engineering and good craftsmanship but also get you into some crazy messes and some absurd engineering
