 Just finished cutting the pieces for our next workshop project which we'll be putting together, I hope, on Sunday. It's basically a 1/4-size version of the two workbenches we've built previously and this one will be used to support the stationary sander acquired some years ago when my dad moved into assisted living.

Meanwhile, the grandson is at his third day of basketball tryouts for his middle school's modified team where I have to pick him up in about 45 minutes. He's pretty confident that he'll make the team because he played last year in the city, where your life expectancy can depend on how good you are on the court, so things seem a bit more relaxed to him here in the small town, lol.

Anyway, after practice we're off to Dick's Sporting Goods for indoor soccer shoes because the arena where his club team will be playing hasn't been converted to the outdoor-style turf which is durable enough for regular cleats. Tomorrow at 10 will be his first game of the indoor season and it'll also be the first time since kindergarten that he hasn't been a starter for his Eastwood team.

That's because he'll now be practicing 6 days a week with the school basketball team and won't have the time or energy to train with Eastwood soccer. And the rule is that if you don't practice, you don't start. However, his coach has said that, once bball is over, he'll be back in as a starter for the soccer team.

Then Sunday, hopefully, it'll be dinner, the kid's laundry which he brings here, and a couple hours of work in our shop.

Hope everyone has a good weekend...
