We have a fun thing going on in the "regional" section. I think it would be nice to see all of you on the map too. Go here and read the instructions in the first post:

I tried to put mine in but it did not work for me.

Had my surgery today. Everything went fine and next week I have a doctor's appointment to find out exactly everything done Also will find out recovery time.

Glad you are through with it. Now, take it easy and recover!

Quiet and Dark in the Room. Here’s a quick Super Bowl update. Finished up sanding right through 400 grit with a final overall buffing with 00000 steel wool. Tested Danish Walnut Oil vs Minwax American Chestnut on a piece of scrap wood and we voted on the chestnut and rubbed in one coat here for you all to see.

I’ll let this dry now for a few hours, give it another very light steel wool buffing, and a second staining, maybe even a third. Probably finish this all off with some food grade beeswax, another buffing shine and then be done.

So here we are, American Chestnut (first application) 8”x8”x3” Bowl

Well, the dreery rain is gone, and the cold weather front with gusting winds are arriving. The front also brought beautiful bright sunshine!

Winds are predicted to be upwards of 60mph. =. Power outsges and trees down.

Ok, Sully had one full hour in the hot water spa. Seemed to once again enjoy it....legs sprawled out....some dancing too. Spa treatment is always followed by a large feeding of dandelion, romaine, timothy and Mazuri. I judt checked, now sprawled out inside his night box, napping on his Kane heat pad. Rough life.

Went out for a quick grocery run, we were greeted to a full rainbow on exiting. By the time we got our camera, the left half faded...

Pretty sure I was running a fever yesterday, for the hot coffee to NOT sound so appealing. I was too out of it to even think about iced coffee, but you never know... Next time I have a fever...

I'm going to remember that idea. I do like a black vanilla iced coffee.

Next time I'm running a fever, someone remind me about the "iced coffee" concept. I don't have a blender (and I wouldn't feel up to using it then, anyway), so I'm going to need simplified instructions.

Something like...
1. Make coffee as usual.
2. No milk (doesn't go well with a fever).
3. Find larger container that won't melt from freshly brewed coffee.
4. Add ice. Leave room for coffee.
5. Add coffee.
6. Quit whining about no dairy and enjoy your caffeine already!

I might have missed something. You guys get until the next time I have a fever to tweak the instructions.

I'm thinking leftover unheated coffee would work. Add ice and a flavored liquid sugar.

Good mornooning, roommates! Haven’t caught up yet but wanted to wish everyone a splendid Saturday! I’m in the middle of daughter’s Russian, and then we’ll head to meet some new Turkish friends. Very multicultural of us. Almost like the CDR itself! [emoji85][emoji56]

So was it a Turkish delight?
