Went to the grocery store a little while ago{kids just keep eating the food, not sure why} and it was really nice out.

Still waiting on my neighbor......



I went to my FIL's Saturday to put some equipment in the barn. I saw the wire wheel he was using. Also, the strand went UNDER his glasses not THROUGH them. I knew at the time that was probably not accurate but have learned to keep my mouth shut at times.
He was using the wheel on his air die grinder so I'm sure that sucker was spinning pretty darn fast.

face shields are a good idea at times like that.

Yup, I got one when I was stripping the paint from the 911 wheels.

Have a grinding wheel with wire wheel bolted to my workbench. Right now instead of the wire wheel I have a buffing wheel on it. This used to be my Dad's workbench and has always had the grinder on it. We have never had a face mask, always used safety glasses. Main thing I used it for was to sharpen my lawn mower blades.

Yea, that eating thing is a nasty habit my mom got me into a long time ago. Maybe because I was screaming to be fed. I am just glad I can't eat as much now as when I was a teenager.

Low 20's * last night... rain this morning = ice. Tire chains and lots of sand today plus some salt on the paved roads.
Still raining but 34* now.

She would be correct!

I STILL don't know how my parents did it. 6 kids on 1 income.

It's cold here in New Zealand's South Island. I'm a spoiled southern Californian. I CAN'T TAKE IT!

Possibly but I know my Mom had a meal on the table every night for us. Home-made, not out of a box or even TV dinners.

HS friend's Mom made him TV dinners when his parents went out of town. He would invite us over to eat enough of them so it looked like he ate them instead of eating out. They were all dated for when he was supposed to eat what. We thought he was crazy because to us her homemade TV dinners were really good.
