thisnewdayAs things now stand, I'm supposed to pick up the grandson after school today. Which means I have to remember to call the school to let them know he won't be riding the bus. He's coming to work today because he missed Wednesday due to the extra homework he had from being absent from school the day before.
Anyway, I'm gonna cook up the Spanish rice I was gonna make on Wednesday so that there'll be something for him to eat besides the turkey-bacon-barbecue sandwiches I usually make for him. (For a while, he wasn't eating lunch at school because his mom hadn't signed the voucher for the school lunch program.)
Today, in the shop, we're gonna do a little metal work. Just cutting, drilling, and grinding some aluminum bar stock to use as shims when we install the shelf units on our assembly table. I'm also going to show him how to change the grinding and polishing wheels on the bench grinder so he gets some experience at some (very) basic mechanical maintenance.
I've also decided that we're going to build about a 1/4-size version of our shop tables to use as a tool stand for the stationary sander and scroll saw that're still in the basement of the house in the city. They were my dad's, very well built, as such things were back in the day, and, once cleaned up, they'll be a good addition to our shop until/if my son is someday able to provide a different home for them.
And "That's the news from Lake Wobegon," as Garrison Keillor used to say. And as I am boringly prone to repeat. lol...
