What's everyone up to right now?

"Change was inevitable"
Nemo sicut deus debet esse! ![[Image: Canada_Flag.jpg?v=1646203843]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=cdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0630%2F5310%2F3332%2Fproducts%2FCanada_Flag.jpg%3Fv%3D1646203843) “No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?” –SHIRLEY CHISHOLM 
Replacing my shop-vac. The old one started howling. Wore the bearings out after years of use, drawing the sawdust off my wood working machines.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Just moved the parrots out onto the deck. It's been a couple years since they have been out there and both are looking a little confused.
At least when I go out to get in the pool I'll have company. And the big parrot likes music so she and I can jam. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius 
Saw a velvet ant running across the sidewalk this morning while mowing. Hadn't seen one in years.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I built my dust separator I use on my sandblaster... Essentially a plywood box with hanging sock filters - 4 six inch x 3 foot - and a big squirrel cage blower drawing the air. Much quieter than a shop vac....
Puzzling over an email I just received. I ordered fabric to make curtains for an upstairs room. I ordered 6 yards. The company emailed me to say that they have it in pieces - a 5.5 yard piece and a .5 yard piece...would I like that. Well, if you can come and make the windows a few inches shorter the 5.5 yard piece would be just lovely. Good grief.

“Absolutely, when should I expect your carpenters?”
Running into a bit of that myself with vendors and contractors. We’re already in for the trench, so we’re gonna have pressure and a manifold system installed while everything’s cracked open.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Well, so much for swimming right now. Brought speaker, towel, tea, etc. out to the deck getting ready to jump in the pool when the rain that's not in the forecast set in. Not just a little sprinkly shower but a full on downpour. Knowing how weather can be freaky here, I am not going to wait for lightning and thunder...maybe this will pass soon.
Weather forecasters are really crap at their jobs. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius (July 6, 2021 at 12:18 pm)onlinebiker Wrote:(July 6, 2021 at 11:25 am)Fireball Wrote: Replacing my shop-vac.

I really should invest in a dust collection system, but I have no real room for it. Cough, cough.
