Good morning. Happy Monday!

We had 45 fs when walking The Princess this morning. It seems early.

We managed to get (almost) everything out of the Estate house that we’re not leaving on Saturday. When S-I-L and her husband were there so S-I-L could pack some china, her husband went snooping. Why would a Heart Surgeon be looking for trinkets to take that weren’t already spoken for??? Anyway, he poked is nose into a crawl space under part of the house that Mrs. ArGee and I hadn’t checked. Yep! More junk. Why would someone keep a box for a hose reel that had been mounted on the side of the house???

So we got the junk up to the garage on Sunday which will need to be removed this week. Then we’ll get the 2 pieces of furniture B-I-L was still using after he leaves tomorrow.

Will it be smooth sailing until closing after that? We, wonders, Precious.

Not to bad on the Wordle front today.

Making an animatronic “monster in a box” for a Halloween deocration. Nailing the box part together with my pneumatic 18ga wire nailer and had a wire come out the side of the wood instead... 3/4” into the end of my thumb...

The blood drops on the wood should add to the realism... I guess.

Happy Monday ya’all...

Ya, sometimes those nails are determined to not go straight in as directed! I agree, the blood on the box will make it realistic...

Making the box out of mostly scrap wood. 1x2 furring strips, pallet wood, and some old 3/4”x10” shelving I’ve had for a decade. Going to be about the size of a small-medium footlocker.

I think I posted this before... Not sure I’m going to do the smoke on the inside and I’ll have more lights to go with it...

Yeah, using that older, scrappy wood will give it a more realistic feel…. Fun project!

My own experience with projects is that they require extra protein ... from me.

If you train them properly they are much less inclined to try to take over openly but they will always still try.

Because, Cat.

Good Morning!

We had our chilliest overnight since last Spring... 59Β° F when I first looked... one more similar then back to more normal... good thing that I covered the pool last evening!

They wanted me to have this one today...

Good morning. Happy Twosday.

It was chilly here this morning again. Mid 40s. Mrs. ArGee turned on the heater in the apartment because the indoor temperature had dropped to 70. We aim for 72.

We had similar experiences Wordling, albeit with different words to get us there.
