Sorry about the weather we sent! The Canadians sent it to us! We have snow in all our surrounding mountains! If I drive 30 minutes east I would hit snow.
Schools were closed and on one freeways they had people sleeping in their cars over night because they closed the road. It turned to black ice.

It really is a big deal around here in San Diego & LA area.

Wow, it snow joke for your area. [emoji33]

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

View attachment 265667

I can already envision mixed nuts in that bowl to go with a stiff drink. [emoji39]

Last one!
We ride out to the Jeep training center and watched this guy trying to maneuver through this obstacle course his wife was so calm and collected I would’ve freaked out.
We watch for an hour but he finally got thru with a little help from a friend.
That looks like fun

Oh, by the way, I'm working on a career change. I don't know where I'm going (or landing) yet, but I've worked in the same office for almost seven years now, and I'm past due for a change. Great office, wonderful coworkers, but the work itself has me bored to tears. No room for upward mobility, no room for getting into more interesting work assignments where I am currently.

I decided back in late January (and let my wonderful coworkers know then) of my intent to leave at / by the end of March. The timing works out well. A major project that I've been working on for most of the last 4 years wraps up at the end of March.

Also, my significant other graduated with his 4-year degree in December, and he just moved from a hostile work environment into a new position with another entity that is (and will be) really good for him.

It’s Sunday Soaking Sully morning. You all know the routine. I call in a special airlift command helicopter, they lower a harness down through our chimney straight into the basement. Sully gets strapped into the basket, helo raises him two floors up, stopping right at the second floor spa. Sully walks over and jumps in for a good hour.

The airlift command then returns to Andrews Airforce Base only to redo the process in about 2 hours or so.

It’s good training for our Special Airlift Command.

I just about fell over laughing from that one! FUNNY! Especially for some of us with emergency management backgrounds, when you may have Air Ops involved... :rolleyes:
