@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 😆

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.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
