Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Francis of Assisi

It is very grey outside and just enough mist or fine rain to keep me from using power tools outside. So I will probably just putter in my shop and see if I can do a little more clean up.

I have been working in my shop for an hour. I think I am winning, but I am sure I am not. Just re-piling from one surface to another.

It is the first time the outfeed table has seen daylight in many years.

I am taking a coffee break, I am already fatigued, I plan to get back up there and do more. The outfeed table and then the horrible floor.

Still Grey

I worked another 15 minutes now my back is giving in. I have to quit again. This time i have to lay down. The pain is too severe. I will try again later. It is  4 PM. Outfeed for wide sheets almost clear but the floor is scary.


The sky is turning blue but still raining, I am too tuckered out to work on the deck, maybe tomorrow. Except it will be too hot if I wait too long.
