I'm tired doing almost nothing today. 
What did you do today?

Took my stepson, the blind one, to Walmart so he could buy a lawn mower. Worked on my car, one of those plastic panels underneath had broke. Cheated, drilled a new hole and zip tied. Finish mowing. Rain is coming in again.
People in retail bitch about working with the public. I spent over 40 years working in their homes. Found many to be disagreeable and just plain stupid.
I could probably count on two hands people I'd not to want to work for again. Offhand, I can only think of three.
Went to a job I did to see if my custom net fit reducer mouldings will work and how well the stain matched to the wood floors.
I bought a propane torch on Amazon to replace my old one that died many years ago. It arrived today. $42 and special free shipping deal. I just had to.
Burns a hole in a beer can in under 2 seconds. Arrgh Arrgh Arrgh! Something that just has to be done by men with fire.
Lot more spendy elsewhere.

I correct myself. I wasn't counting General contractors... now I'm counting my toes.
Talked to the Carpet One retailer this afternoon. A GC that I have worked for has been battling cancer for the last year+. He was looking overweight an face was puffed up like the Michelin man.
That was probably 10 months ago, maybe more.
Saw him a few months ago at the retailers warehouse and looked and acted like his good old bubbly old self. He was enjoying retirement and happy as a clam. He looked great.
Discovered today he's going downhill fast. Ain't supposed to be that way.
he and his crew were the best of the best. I just hated that he was retiring, and now this.

Most of those I worked for are dead.
...and you never left a trace.
Guy left a bar and went 100 mph the wrong way on a one way street.
The pole kept him from running through a friend's office.
Did he survive?
Don't know. Have not been able to find out anything.
What a mess.
Worked on making a single adjustable leg to support a narrow outfeed table for my router table so I can route longer strips by myself. The "table" for now is just going to be a single pine board maybe 4" to 6" wide. For now all I can think of using it for is narrow stuff like trims or reducer moldings. The leg can be transferred to something wider if need be.
It was fun using the router table to actually make something.

Got my hand masker out and started lining walls with paper. Primed wall behind washer. Got final coat on some trim and door jambs. And I tested the eco-etch on floor. Looks like it works. No odor! If I can etch floor in next day or two, Iāll let floor dry till next weekend. Still lots to do

Too much like work for me.
Fans will be your best friend drying the concrete. No hurricane speed, just air movement.
I noticed yesterday there are about 25 fishing vessels offshore about 20 miles out.
Checked em all out and most are 40 to 50 years old. The smallest four are about 26 meters long. Ten are are 60 to 100 meters long. Four are factory ships and most list Seattle Washington as home port.
The 'smaller' boats (26 to 100 meters) supply fish to the factory ships. I think the factory ships will be out there for a month or more. Fish come off the ships packaged and ready for sale.
What a nasty, smelly job that would be.

Seems having a doctor on board would make things much improved on that ship.
