Electric Smokers

Was considering buying a smoker and did a little research. Hope this helps.

Mechanic in a Bottle

This stuff is literally unbelievable. Before you bring your lawnmower for repair, pour a bottle of this in the gas tank. Cranks right up.

Lathe

Why would anybody use a wood lathe?






Seems like a lot of money to make spindles and wooden bowls.
Yet I really want this.

The Powermatic Choice

Who has a spare $3,000 to buy a bandsaw? If I did, I would give this one a close look.

This is the juicer that I bought. Expensive, but robust and will make your juice fast routine a permanent fixture of a healthy lifestyle.

Vision and Deep Pockets

Starting to get some "Noise" at the 70 Nanepashemet house.  Vision and Deep Pockets are a wonderful combination.

Rain is putting a damper on the Deck Project.  I had hoped to get the primer and a coat of finish paint on the exterior posts, but now will have to back off.  Time to get the attic utility hatch done.... and I can always put another coat of polyurethane on the stair case.

DAY TWO

Day Two of the SAVERS Program.

My body is sore from yesterday's break out run.  Last year I couldn't jog across the the street....yesterday I went two miles.

I'm 65 years old.... don't feel like packing it in.  I am going to live and act like the whole world continues to be a new opportunity

This morning, I will finalize the Florida transfer, then head over to complete the EasyRail holes at 70 Nanepashemet.  When the holes are done, will get to the Post Office,  call Catacutta for the Fireplace stone and head back to set up the deck posts for primer spraying.  Then back to the office until 5:00 when I leave for Andover for a deck estimate.

Two Miles

When I was eighteen years old at UMASS Amherst, I ran a two mile race in 9:44.  Today at age 65, my time was 25:43.

I thank God that I was able to do that.... and hope to improve over the coming year.

Today, Deck sanding and wire railing installation at 70 Nanepashemet Street.

Saved by SAVERS?

Was reading the self help book "Miracle Morning" on my Kindle this morning.  The author, Hal Elrod, advocates getting up in the morning at 6AM or earlier and practicing SAVERS.

S - Silence - Meditation or Purposeful Silence for 5 Minutes.
A - Affirmations or Positive Self Talk for 5 Minutes.
V - Visualization or imagining how you would like your life to evolve for 5 Minutes.
E - Exercise for 20 Minutes.
R - Reading Self Help books for 20 Minutes
S - Scribing or Blogging for 5 Minutes.

This is doable and makes sense.... a lot more sense that Ranting on Facebook about Liberals and the Main Stream Media..... which has been a pastime of mine for the past year.  I've made some like minded friends doing this, but no discernible life improvement.

And that is what I am looking for.... Life Improvement.  Time to pay off  debt, make some bank, and enjoy time with friends and family.
