Driving home tonight, I see an old
man ( like me 😜) hobbling up a snow covered sidewalk. I thought 🤔somebody better pick him up, he’s never gonna make it. At the next light a voice said
… “ if it’s to be, then it’s up to me” 😇 … O-crap! …I wanted home quickly, but double backed anyway, hoping someone else got him, they didn’t 🤣

Put the four-ways on, helped him in, dropped him to the market. Guess what for? toothpaste, and dental floss during a snow storm 😜🤣 I park in the handicap spot and waited to take him home to complete the good deed. 👍

Good man!

Sadly I have no good deeds to claim this week.

I can't quite compete with that.... no damsel's in distress, no nothin'
....wait, I tightened the last bolt on my buddies steering column yesterday, so he can reinstall the trim now.

I donated the 'vintage' 6" Craftsman belt sander I bought from Habitat back to them. It needed a much bigger motor and it just took up too much space. I had taken it totally apart, de-rusted it, painted it, rotated the bushings and put in a new main drive shaft to eliminate slop.....
Naw, I didn't see me coming up with a 3hp motor anytime soon.... so I dropped it off Wednesday afternoon and it was already gone Thursday at noon. I hope they made more $$$ than I lost. 🤣

My brother and I were going over to start working on this today. The final touches at a local, historical theatre. They have been restoring it for 10 years I suppose. The balcony stair runners are pretty much the last thing.
Work interruptus today:

It's been really rainy, and steady wind +gusts happening today and tonight.
As I backed out, I noticed a corner portion of my neighbors fence about to fall over.
The wind wasn't going to stop today, maybe not until tomorrow? 🤔
My neighbors grandson lives with her but works 30 miles from town all week. She had a dog that she lets loose in the back yard...... for business purposes.
I canceled the start of my stair project and drove into town to visit the hardware store.
It ain't fancy, but it will buy time to figure out a real fix.
I made a temporary holderUpNow with a piece of 1x3 pine and a metal strap and a stake in the ground.
I think it will hold till a fix can be figured out. At least Zack can work all week and not worry about the dog running loose.
I didn't get a before, so you only get the after.
It would make Red Green proud. 😁

If they don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy!
