Snowfall predicted for tomorrow, so I’m queing up some indoor projects for tomorrow. Finishing up the glue block piece of scrap wood that gets mounted to the lathe and also super glued to the new “bowl2be”. By using a piece of sacrificial scrap wood, one is able to keep more of the exotic mahogany as the bowl, not on the floor in shavings.

Picked up a few maintenance pieces for the shredder. Heck, since it’s in our garage I’ll change out the oil, put in a new air filter, air in the tires/tyres, etc.

But, since the sun is shining brightly, I’ll zip out and do some raking or pruning.
You sure are a busy bee. You definitely don't have idle hands.

I checked them out for the first time since 2005. The chimney swifts are endangered but as of 2013 or 2014, they are protected. I was really happy to see that. I've always thought, since I first came into contact with them, that they are a really important bird (Not just to the US) but to all of us. They do migrate to Peru and eat a gazillion flies every year. The more the merrier.
If they eat flies I would say they are extremely important.

Made it back again.
Now I've had time on my hands and just had a really high premium renewal quote, I've been reading through my house building insurance documents which has me really worried.:(
I thought notifying them of a change in circumstances only meant 'personal' circumstances, but I've realised that I should have told them that a policy I was paying for my late Mum's house after her death was cancelled by the provider years ago because in spite of the policy being in my name (and executors) and ringing to tell them I had bought the house and wanted to cancel the buildings insurance and keep the contents, they failed to register the changes. I did contact them at the time and explain it was their mistake but they didn't respond.
So now I'm in danger of having my current policy cancelled too.:(
What a mess and all because I was always too busy to read the policy properly.

Thanks Cathie, I don't think my current insurers are going to be too happy with me and may cancel my policy but I'll have to confess!
In the UK when you apply for a new quote they ask you if you've ever had a policy cancelled and if 'yes' most companies won't touch you with a barge pole - regardless of the reason. I'm not looking forward to my phone call to them tomorrow.
Good luck.

Good Morning all.
Happy Friday. I have a busy one today and today I am seeing a new doctor which the osteopath recommended. He (the new one) does acupuncture and chinese medicine. So we will see if he can get my arm to heal. Although I am not looking forward to the needles. [emoji382]
