OK, so it's not March 30. Managed to get about three hours of sleep curled up in various uncomfortable positions. I call that a win.
Gardening. Cut down Elder that was leaning on the fence. Planted a Korean fur v icebreaker. And fertilizing for the plants.
Bad allergies today but that’s spring time.

Hmpf.......
Like what? Bacon? Roses? Butt sex? Rotting corpses? Don't leave us hanging, dude.
Linseed and Tung oil. The odor is rather strong. This is from me polishing and oiling my wood. . .

It soaks in reeeeal nice. Won’t be as shiny when dry.

What proportion of the two oils?
37.5% Tung, 37.5% Linseed, 25% poly. Penetration is quite nice with that mix.
Is that like a turducken?

That's not low hanging fruit, that's already on the ground.
There really isn’t much you can say about wood that won’t end up in the no context.
ie: I put on latex gloves before I hand oil my wood.
I like taking some 40 grit to my wood.
I still have a dolphin to finish carving, I started it a year ago so maybe it has split, should have a look I guess.
I believe the correct abbreviation in this instance would be e.g., not i.e., as you are providing an example of a phrase that would likely end up in the no context thread vs. restating the previous assertion about your wood.
For your FYI.

Just picked up some boiled linseed to condition an axe handle. Never used it outside of that application though.
Wood finishing is like dark magic. So much to learn, so much I don't know.
Few, yet not a zero amount, of plans?
Hairs getting long, beard is getting bushy. I have few plans to curtail either.
I was up early for a 2500 yard swim and I forgot my cell phone. I am too addicted to that god damn thing. Of course logically speaking I can function in life just fine without it, but not having it with me made me feel like something was just off and not quite right the entire time. I stopped by my house to pick it up before heading into the office and now things feel right again.
Still gotta keep the stache in check, otherwise it'll go wild and start to fraternize with my nose hairs.

eg: After using 3 different tools to polish my wood as smooth as I could, I flood coated it in oil. The oil penetrated exactly as I had hoped.
After using 3 different tools (e.g. belt sander, sanding block, personal massager) to polish my wood as smooth as I could, I flood coated it in oil. The oil penetrated exactly as I had hoped i.e. a deep and luxurious blanket of oil.
Effing alarm did not go off, still managed to feed the dogs and slam down a triple espresso before dashing out the door. I was only 5 minutes late picking up my first client. Still got everyone to Dialysis on time. Now to eat some food before heading out to pick up the last 9 of 14 transports
This reply does knot make sense.
its not even 930 am stop mowing your lawn.
made chicken satay last night. nice to find a new meal the kids enjoy too, even if they don't use the spicy peanut sauce.
Morning Monkeys.
It's fritter Friday, so suck on that a little bit. Looking to close out the week strong. Refill the coffee.

up in the north georgia mtns for the weekend. rainy and chilly. brought the dogs, who are kinda settled down now. maybe a hike later when we get a break in the rain? but first coffee and bacon and egg sandwiches.
Heavenly Donuts raspberry, actually. They got a half yesterday due to puppy spa day (nail trim) as well.
That's amusing, because that is where we got the blackberry fritters when we were wandering about the PNW for Spring Break.
Good day everyone! Got to ride bikes in the woods with mrs junkyard yesterday. It was perfect, although a bit short, but she’s still a beginner and doesn’t want to get wore out. Kid wants to skip some of school today and go skiing so I guess we will do that. Annnnnnd I have coffee so that’s nice.
It's where you get them. Funny story, I grew up 2 blocks from a Winchell's Donuts and it was the only place in town that was 24hr. It went out of business and the city built the new police station there.That's amusing, because that is where we got the blackberry fritters when we were wandering about the PNW for Spring Break.
A trip to Winchell's was a part of every late night drink/smoke growing up. There was always at least 2 cops there and they knew we were neighborhood kids on foot or skateboard.
Heavenly bought out Winchell's but kept the recipes. People rave about the Voodoo bacon bar and it's shit compared to Heavenly.
I've been informed that Easter is this weekend, and I have a brunch to attend and am cooking dinner after that.
Are there any religions who's messiah became a zombie on a week day? Burning a whole weekend day on this is unacceptable, plus I have to find a damn prime rib tonight, I don't even like prime rib.

Prime rib is an assemblage of rib eyes that's harder to cook right, and isn't as good as rib eye. But you know, tradition and shit.
Now I'm hungry for prime rib, dammit. My oatmeal is looking pretty weak.
Here. House projects today (fixing a toilet, silicone and wood fill baseboards (I know), change a few switches), studying, and bills. I'm going to end up painting the baseboards since the professional cost is $3500 and Wifey would rather have her office cabinets and shelves painted white. Painting baseboards is an easy and skill-less project and I can prep over a few and then paint in a day, so really easy.
Budgeting out the tax return for projects that were done last month, need to be done, and then what's left goes to the 'want to do' list taxes a shockingly long time to prioritize and organize. People that just see the amount there and blow it confuse me. I generally hate getting returns, but at least we're going to try and be smart with it - deck repairs, car tires, Wifey's office, electrical work, etc.
Also having the day off is pretty nice.
