@LindaMarie you are welcome to chime in anytime.  I am not a trained mechanic.  I am not a trained boat repairwoman.  And I’m not a trained cabinet maker.  But I do all that and more.  I’ve made furniture I. The Shaker style complete with dovetail joints.  I made my daughter a memory chest out of cherry for her to keep her daughter’s things in after she died.  Again dovetail joinery.  I carved a memorial plate for the top that my daughter didn’t know I was doing.

 

you’ve been following the things on my boat.  This is my second attempt at the instrument panel first one never made it beyond the face plate which promptly wrapped .  This faceplate is made from King Starboard.  I know how I plan to Mount it to my helm but I am still figuring out how to attach my drink holder.  It’s also Starboard.  The thing about Starboard is it can’t be glued, you have to use mechanical fasteners.  To achieve that the sides are solid oak. So I can use wood screws.

 

@Artpetal your house sounds nice.  I’ve always like the style and craftsmanship used in them.  Unfortunately they are rarely properly cared for. The owner gets old and can’t keep it up.  Honestly that’s why I’m moving to a condominium I don’t want to have to keep fixing my house.

 

Getting ready to go to my group tonight.

 

hugs

Jamie, I’m sorry life took a left turn when it comes to your heater.  My daughter has a lot of trouble with her condensate pump as well.  But the way hers was installed, it doesn’t shut down the furnace, it just overflows on the floor.  They need to put alarms on those things.

 

I heard from Ask This Old House that they do make alarms you can get that go off when they detect water on the floor.

Speaking of vivid dreams, I have the strangest dreams these days.  I never used to and I wonder if it’s a result of my antidepressants or HRT.  Some are recurring.  Anybody else having strange dreams have a clue as to why?

 

I feel like my dreams are always strange, I like to think it's just a reflection of myself 😆

I was asked once why I wear women's clothing.

I replied....duh, ever try to find men's clothing in the women's section?

She doesn't terrorize the objects on those shelves behind you? I feel like my cat would have a field day with that.

Projects, projects, projects. I have had a few. Take Frankie for example.

She has been through a lot with me back then.

One night she gets smashed, has nothing to do with the bars I played in, I

think, don't remember that night.

Anyway I rebuilt the whole guitar, neck, peg head, electronics and named her Frankenstein. 

So then comes Lola. My wife bought her for me.

I didn't like how she sounded, but my wife bought her for me.

I gave her a name and replaced all the electronics.

So sweet now.

 

So now I have a new project.

Can you guess where it is going?

A Facebook friend recently posted about a text message he got from his water heater about “water detected “ and he was bewildered at first because he thought water heaters worked best when they contain water! However on inspection he discovered that his garage had flooded. So I guess it really is a thing! Maybe one day the appliances will talk to each other. Maybe the cutlery and the crockery will start communicating, and the dish will really run away with the spoon! LOL

Speaking of cats, this one lies cuddled up with me every night. When we got her five years ago she was a hissing spitting ball of fur. Her previous owner had abused her. If you got anywhere near her face she would leave you with a painful reminder! I was diagnosed with stage three cancer about a year later and she took it upon herself to nurse me back to health and would curl up with me on the couch when I was feeling miserable. We called her squeaky because of her high pitched meow. Today when I introduce her to people I will have her speak for herself. I pick her up and say “what’s your name” and give a little squeeze and she always says “squeak”!

McmasterCarr.com has almost every type of fastener. They aren't cheap though. When I was working as an industrial sheet metal worker, I had only had them be out of stock on my item twice in about 25 years.

Well now that I'm all wound up, last post.

I was asked about aging today, you know, a young -transgender- to an old -transgender-

sort of thing. Like what is different now?

 

My reply was simple. When I was young I was worried about my mail being lifted

from the box. Now I worry about it being lifted from some cloud.

No, neither of the cats are bad about getting on any of the bookcases or half walls. We do have three cat towers around the house so they can look down on us as they view their territory. We've also been luck that they don't sharpen their claws on our furniture. They use the rope pillars on the cat towers.

Amy doesn't get involved in what's on the screen, however she's very into the keyboard. Sheldon on the hand wants you to play cat videos on any device you're looking at. He also doesn't want to be held or confined in any manner.

Oh, BTW, the reason the cats don't mess with my instruments hanging on the

wall is true. They are scared I will plug them in.

No kidding, true. They live down here. Yeah I know...bad Linda....

They do.  My latest water heater (they all fail just as the warranty expires) has a pigtail that rests in the catch pan it sits in.  

 

Also when I had a flood at my house a few months ago I looked and found there are all kinds of leak or water intrusion devices available.

I have no clue why, but do have strange dreams where I'm young and athletic and enjoying that except I wake as me, old arthritic, and tired. But the memories are lovely to have, and I'm grateful my higher power once gave them to me and I enjoy watching sports with that in mind.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?
