I did get into a 38 this evening but they were a little tight. Maybe anothe 10 lbs and they would be good to go.
We are suposed to be hot tomorrow with high humidity. Yuck!!
I can wear a size 36 , but I need a shoe horn to get them on 
Just had a great steak dinner out by the pool tonight...
Havasu, that looks like a great dinner. Love the pic of the little doggy. Adorable to have the plate and wine glass in front of him/her?
My old doggy, Brenda, had a rough morning but is doing better now. She woke me up very early this morning with a very loud howl of pain/distress. She'd gotten her bandage halfway off and then managed to fall down next to the cat litterboxes and her wound went right on to some spilled litter and she was unable to get up. I had to move her and clean the wound thoroughly, get some fresh bandages on, and change her diaper. I set her on a dog bed in the hallway. But it got too warm in the hallway so she crawled in to my room. My back has been a little sore from all the lifting and bending, so I finally decided to just move her on to my bed on top of a waterproof mattress pad. I took off her diaper and bandage, cleaned her up, put her in clean bandage & diaper, gave her food with her meds in it, got her to drink some water, and then set my desk fan to rotate and blow on both of us instead of just me. She seems much more comfortable. This way it's easier to change things, she has a nice breeze, and I'm right near her if she needs anything. The newer dog, Princess, isn't happy about it because I think she's afraid of Brenda, but she's coping. She's on a pillow next to me with the fan blowing on her when it turns.

How come the photos are 10 times larger than they used to be. They load so slow for me I don't wait around to see what they are.

The back end needs to do a photo adjustment, keeping the sizes all uniform.
My brother's new eye doctor is very nice & all of the staff at the office were very nice and helpful. It didn't even take very long. We ate at Panda (Chinese Buffet) afterward. My brother got a call from his prospective employer and was told that the college transcripts he got will suffice instead of his high school diploma (since he graduated 20 years ago overseas & getting the diploma now would be impossible).
That's some good news.
Gave $30 for this today. Just to use until I get my big one moved. Has both wings, can only see one in the picture.

Nice buy.. Their new tools are junk..
My bro went for his job interview. There were 3 people doing interview: 2 men with hard hats and a woman who was in an extremely bad mood. She came out and started yelling at people not to use their cellphones while waiting-- but no one in there was using cellphones. She didn't even bother to read my brother's job application & asked him questions that were already answered but didn't even listen to his answers. She snapped at him about how he never worked anywhere longer than 6 months after he told her he worked at Walmart for 9 months, Fred's for about a year (can't remember exactly how long) and Pizza Hut for 3 years. She then told him his job history was not compatible with employment there and threw his file in the bin and told him to get out. She was rejecting every applicant who went in. Meanwhile, guys who had no work experience whatsoever got hired by the guys with hard hats. While talking to another friend, he told us that the same lady rejected him when he applied for the job. But, my brother still has another application in for a different position there & he knows someone who might be able to help push his application through. If he doesn't get the miserable witch again, he might still get hired.

Habitat recycle store had a 1970's era Craftsman radial arm saw motor for $25. Not sure what I'm gonna use it for yet, just couldn't pass it up.
I think they were advertised at 2 3/4 HP. It's 3450 RPM
HP has always been exaggerated in motors. In reality using amp ratings , it's less than 1 1/2/HP
Still an excellent motor. Tight, no end slop and sounds smoooooth.
What should I make with it? 4 inch belt sander, drum sander, disk sander, grinder wheel
........margarita mixer?
105 HI. I went out, checked oil and water on my minivan and put in some Freon. Then trimmed a tree. Wife says I am nuts. Also started cleaning the table saw.

Around 3pm we were at 73 degrees, then I saw high fog blowing overhead off the coast and an hour later we were at 66.6............... that blew off ans it's 6 pm and we're at 70. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer.
.........what I did today other than making two Hi-McMuffins?
Lazy day .........did pretty much nothing.
.......OK, did two loads of wash.

92 here today .. High R/H
That saw, Floorist. Says 2.7 HP? Pretty decent saw for most purposes and you couldn't ever beat that price.
I paid $25 for an old saw motor. I think it's original rating was about the same. Doing some research on HP, the true power is told by the motor's amp rating.
It's embarrassing that Craftsman rates my shop vac at 6.5 "peak" HP................ it can't be even 1/6th of that.

Played McGuyver after work and converted a 45 year old Craftsman jigsaw into a sort of scroll saw so I can cut laminate inside the house I'm working at instead of running outside for every cut. I don't do enough laminate to make it worthwhile to buy a laminate cutter. Not sure how it's gonna work because I need to get some blades for it. It was my Dad's old saw and the foot on it broke 15 years ago. I kept it because the tool still runs. Hopefully the LaminateCutterDownNow2018 works as designed. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Basically, the jigsaw hangs upside down from a 12" by 24" plywood table which resides on 10 inch tall supports and the blade points upwards towards my face. Cool.
Kind of a foot stool with a saw mounted to it. I won't even have to get off my knees.
