You ever eat a ham an cheeze in a wheel barrow?

How come a wheel barrow can be so comfortable but I can't find a lazyboy that feels the same?
No kiddin.
It has to do the want/need ratio..on a jobsite with wind and rain..that wheel barrow is king comfort..the laZeboy at home has competition of the couch!Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

I dunno about the competition at the site. A stack of plywood is pretty comfy for me too.

Was working midnight shift for Big Co and working days on my own projects. Get off early but not early enough to go home or anywhere else. Crew arrived at the site that AM to find me sound asleep on stack of decking. good sleeping.

What do you know about small organs (musical kind, that is)? MIL has an old foot pump organ that the bellows have dried out on and want's them replaced. I haven't given the thing much attetnion the times I'm there so no clue about make/model other than small foot pump.
Boy, that paragraph could take this to the gutter in a hurry.
If you or I could remove the bellows, I can re-leather it.
It's not an in house fix.
Hide glue, skiving the leather, and time are the expenses.
Pump jobs are a lot smaller than what I did for a living, butthe execution is the same.

more time on his clock......
Funny you should say that.
We have a new guy in the group (new meaning with the company < 3 years), still in his 20's. While in grad school he was mission director for a couple of satellite missions for another company, a really sharp guy, PhD EE type.
Anyway, we have mandatory performance evaluations every 6 months, one just occured last week, 'new guy's supervisor is a PhD physicist. Supervisors always have to make a suggestion for the employee to improve themselves, so 'new guy' was told to 'try to improve your analytical skills like Art' -- his reply was 'give me 40 more years.......'
Had to laugh at that response.

PENGUIN TEA TIMERMaking tea, though easy to do, is also time consuming. Once you pour the hot water into the cup, you must patiently hover over it, waiting for the tea to steep. Well, the Penguin Tea Timer happily does the waiting for you. Place your tea cup under the beak and set it to the desired time. As you turn the timer dial, the beak lowers the tea into the hot water. When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water. View Image

I'm not sure this will qualify for this thread, but it's all that I have invented today.
DD needed to write in straight lines on a piece of plain white paper for a school project. Took a minute to make her a light box. Cardboard box, beach towel (to keep the flashlight from rolling), and plexiglass. Then she could place her lined paper underneath, to write straight on the plain paper.

Fishrite,
Kudos to you! That's a great quick fix. I'll bet if you run your random orbit sander with a medium grit over the bottom side of the plexi it will "frost" the plastic and make it work even better.

That's a good idea, but it make it hard to see the watercolor painting after I put it back in the frame! ;-).
