Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

On another note(from my daughter):

I had a team jacket when I played hockey as a kid. I was considered very bad form to wear one if you never played on the team.

Bagged up the pompas grass this morning and no cuts!

Turned wood in to sawdust this afternoon. Worked on repurposing an old kitchen table into a stereo stand. It will look like a smaller version of the table - same width but shallower and shorter.

Shortened the end pieces and replicated the original corner joints. Three or four more attempts and I'll probably have it pretty close. lol. A table saw would have made this a little easier but not too bad considering. The other joint is about an 1/8" too wide so I'll have to shim it.

The first cut is the deepest. That's not over cut, it's an expansion joint.

Now it's considered supporting the team(s). Or at least the jacket manufacturers.

So you're saying it's for athletic supporters.

My orthopedic surgeon is a jock. And that's not really surprising to see a link between sports and sports medicine. She replied today to suggest a fresh evaluation. It's looking like the bonus round of surgery but this one won't be nearly as invasive

A snip, unscrew, and a new bass (band aid).

Ya' know, that used to be a very valuable (say $25,000, or so, to someone - not me ) vintage Art Deco table..........

So, in other words, almost as invasive, but not quite as much?

Opening you up is still opening you up, and surgery is still surgery. But essentially it's just opening and closing this time around (after a bit of fiddling).

Nice to see old folks getting out of their homes.

I thought the same thing after hacking up my 1963 Stratocaster. I didn't care, it was a player that I used over many years.

Hmmph! Not grumpy enuff.
EDIT: that should prolly be "harrumph!"
