Just got done cleaning up glass and duct taping my windows up after having two of my windows busted out of my apt by some random crazy dude.
So like two days ago I went hiking out in the woods behind my grandparents and crossed a creek and slipped. My feet got soaked, but I continued on. Later, I realized my wet canvas boat shoes had been grinding on my ankles and I bled all over my pants.Didn't seem serious then last night all of a sudden my feet and ankles swelled like crazy and I couldn't articulate them. The pain was unbelievable and if I had to walk I was reduced to shuffling like a zombie. Late last night my aunt gave me a Valium, muscle relaxer or feminine hormone pill as her eyes are bad and she won't wear glasses. Then I rubbed neosporin on my wounds.
Woke up completely fine. Anyone experienced sometime like that? It felt for sure like my feet would fall off.
Now today I can't taste anything and all stuffed up on the cusp of all the feasting.
He wasn't even trying to break in...he was just tryin to break stuff. The explosion of glass from my bedroom literally scared the sht out of me, luckily I was on the toilet at the time. hahahaha
Dude was just outside freaking the fugg out. I thought my window was shot out so I was a little hesitant to go outside but once my older neighbor went outside, I couldn't let him go out there
and confront dude by himself but by the time I got outside the cops already had him on the ground.

Tumbleweeds, how can I work for the gub'mint and be the only one at work today and on here looking to waste time online![]()
No day job for me this week or next. Just had a late night last night, and just getting up now.
Suppose I should do some christmas shopping...
I only had about an hour of work to do yesterday and it was dead, so I finally milled some of the rough lumber alder I bought over a year ago. I got a pretty nice grain matched 2 piece body blank glued up. Seeing as how I pretty well fudged up the pine body I made trying to give it a gloss black poly paint job, I was thinking I might stain this one and do a satin wipe on finish or something.
You should make that upper cool section with the full ring the center of your bass if you have enough to center it and add wings to that portion. Then pop it out with stain.I didn't take pictures of the finished body blank, because I just clamped it up and then left for the day. I did take a picture of the rough lumber on the planer jig I made, so I could joint the face. The piece was mostly straight, just a really minor bow and twist, so it only took one pass to knock off the high spots get one face flat, before I planed it down for thickness.

The more I look at it the grain reminds me of some kind of Lovecraft monster!I didn't take pictures of the finished body blank, because I just clamped it up and then left for the day.

Morning... For sure just woke up the lazy Stepson with a dose of fuzz from the mixing board.
I'm off till the 5th as well. Manager told me you need to take time off. If you don't I'm not going to feel bad when you have your heart attack.Motivator he is.
I have to get over the hurtle of gaping the rings for the Subaru motor build. Need to push that project forward.
Nice wood Cory.
