When I peeked around the barn towards where I lay out the food for the cats I saw one of the kittens eating the dry food. Yay, weaned! Went back in and grabbed my camera. Got a couple good pics.

Home Depot is having a Labor Day Sale and the Milwaukee M18 cordless router kit is 50% off this weekend. Found out by accident when I was looking at a Bosch router on their website. Normally $358 for the kit and on sale for $179. If you are looking for a cordless router this is a good deal.

I'll thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers.

Some of the early fretwork I did, especially the first two guitars, turned out to be not quite as good as I thought. I decided to redo them. Worked tonight on the second fret job I did. Several of the online resources including some fairly well respected online luthiers recommend using fretwire...

I really like that 4inch post-war. I have one from the early '50s with the fish hook hammer that I really like. Only thing keeping it from being perfect to me is the serrated trigger, I really like a smooth combat trigger on a service style revolver.

My favorite place to find project guitars these days is Goodwill, mostly online. They only charge $8 shipping on anything they send out. This was a $60 find on Ebay. Yamaha EG303 form around 2000, with plenty of war scars. Mostly light scratches, but there was two small spots through to the wood...

Non-relieved targets are also 'the' answer, depending on who is answering the question. OP: Good luck with your search for correct grips on that K22. Hope you find a nice set.

Southern style green beans with new potatoes, pears and shredded fiesta blend cheese, french bread with a good olive oil to dip in.

I am down to just one Garand, although I have parts kits and receivers enough for a couple more builds. I kept the Winchester that I built from a stripped CMP reciever about 20 years ago. Good shooter too.

I just keep my bayonets in a small plastic trashcan with the handles sticking out the top. :LOL:

I like the blurred backgrounds for portraits like this but PeeBee is just a bit out of focus compared to the kittens, who I was focusing on. A couple stops tighter and she would have been in focus as well with the background still blurry. I tend to run in program mode for speed, both shutter...

Feeding time seems to be late evening after PeeBee eats. I need to start using aperture priority and broaden my depth of field on some group shots.

Some of the composition work is done with cropping in Photoshop, but I learned as a teenager taking pictures that if you can get down to your subjects level it looks much better. Thanks.

More kitty pics from this morning. KittenA is much braver than her sister. As long as Mom is there and not alarmed she will stay out. KittenB waited until I was heading away before coming out.

We had a rare August 'cold front' come through recently. Did not do anything for the temps, just dumped 2.4 inches of rain, Which we needed. It has been a fairly wet summer for us this year.

Neither do half of mine. There was a convoluted way to get around that when I upgraded my older stuff. MS has pretty much given up on trying to keep people from upgrading their old computers so it is much easier now. Look it up on Youtube. Lots of videos on how to do it.

PeeBee feeding her littles this evening out back of the house.

I took some Walmart brand Italian meatballs, heated them up in some of my homemade sauce, and threw that on top of some spaghetti. Ate too much, of course.

I have updated a few computers here at he house from 10 to 11. No problems with any of them and a couple were on hardware supposedly too old to run Win11. my 12 year old Acer laptop runs it just fine.

I hope you get to work as long as you want to. I do not regret at all retiring early to take care of Mom through her last couple years. It will have been a year since she left us on the 28th. I have managed to get out of caretaker mode and find myself again. Just got my bloodwork done for a...
