You may want a mesh grille to protect the window from the bits of wood that can come flying off the miter saw.
I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

It's been a fun couple of days. I am starting in on the shed but that's a dirty job. First, I acted like a mod and shoveled up a bunch of manure someone else had dumped...
Then I went all IDocSteve and started throwing the manure all over the place...
But mostly I put it in the sandy, sandy areas where the grass isn't growing. I put out three cart fulls yesterday, and I probably have another ten left in the barn. Ma~ looks pretty distraught that someone forgot to bury their business!

I made a platform out of reclaimed wood for the shed to put shelves on. I need to finish digging the place out, pull out the front wall and do a better job of leveling. Gosh, but that's a lot of poop in there.
I spent today in the shop. Got a bit of a late start, but I got the French cleats stained and the cabinets installed. I wish they were about 1/4" or even 3/8" higher, so I might pull it all apart and move that upper rail up a bit. Here's how it looks so far:
Finally, I'm still kind of invisible back here. You can't easily see me from the road. While I find some comfort in that, I had a very frustrated UPS driver complain that there's no way for him to know that this was 3388. So, I made a little sign with the numbers on it and installed it on the fence rail in front of my property and across from my mailbox. FWIW, Ma~ wants me to change dog to cat on the beware of sign!

Here's Horchata in your tea. As some of you know, I am not a coffee drinker and I detest tea in bags. I brew loose tea and my favorite is a blend of Russian Caravan and peppermint. I had stopped drinking tea in the Keys, because it was almost always too freakin' hot. Here it's great and I rediscovered Horchata as a sweetner. Yum! Walmart sells Horchata by Klass in a resealable bag. A teaspoon, maybe two is all you need to turn your tea (or coffee) into something far, far more.
Me two, good tip. Mostly drinking green tea lately... not sure why. I think there are about six of us that made it through the navy without developing a coffee addiction.

I like Lychee infused black tea, but i love the little tea blobs that blossom into flowers when dropped in a glass teapot for viewing.

Yeah, those are cool to look at, but I don't like the taste of pulverized teas.

There was a huge fight in the house last night at 3:00 am as I lay peacefully sleeping. A feather taunted Ma~ one too many times causing her to put it in its place. The altercation broke out by the dresser and quickly escalated, with the brawl spreading throughout the entire bedroom, but mostly on my feet. Relying on its quick wit and elements from Tai Chi, the feather put up a spirited defense, first falling to the left and then drifting to the right. No match for unbridled feline aggression, it finally rested on the covers between my feet, exhausted, bent and stripped clean in places. Unable to resist, the insolent feather taunted Ma~ once more and that's when the real fight started...
Did you take that image of the feather? If so, print and frame it. You have an art print that deserves to be on a wall. Beautiful.

Fur and feather will fly
In the Home of an innocent guy
Cat won first rounds
But feather rebounds
Pillow feather friends help out the small fry!
