Fridge dying

Annoying.
I was trying to tape off woodworking VHS videos to my computer. There’s a limitation in my program that only lets you capture 20 minutes per piece, filesize limit? So I had to sit there for a 2 hour video and join together 20 minutes pieces. Then when I went to render the final video I ran out of disk space.

Then I found out my fridge isn’t cold anymore so I googled how it works and how I might fix it. Now I’m needing a repair guy by fri. evening before we leave for the weekend only to come back with everything bad. It’s not broken, just not as cold it used to be. The ice cream doesn’t freeze, bread isn’t solid and ice stays frozen. The fridge keeps the milk only cool on a jacked up setting.

Work is busy.

Psychic readings

I had recorded two psychic readings from two people that do not know me.

End tables update

This weekend I’ve finished the unfinished version of the end tables. They’re made of pine.
I’ve used the router to make the mortise and tenon joints for the lower shelf and the legs/cross beams. I glued them up and then routed the table top edges using a 1/2″ beading bit.
I wanted to take a picture before I stain and finish them.

Closet doors

This weekend I changed the front entrance closet doors. I took out the old sliding nasty ones and put in bi-fold raised panel white doors. I had to bring down the opening from an 8 foot hole to an 80×48 inch opening. I had to put up a 2×4 frame and drywalled the front and back. The doors went in no problem.

Wrong number

For the last few days some woman from Japan keeps calling my cellphone.
I know it’s Japan because Google says +81########## is a Japan number and when she leaves a message it’s all Domo arigato Mr. Roboto crap.
Usually the call comes when I’m at work and it’s on silent so I see the phone display light up but can’t answer it.
Today I answered it after joking about it with someone at work to try and tell her she had the wrong number. Poor woman sounded so confused.

Marriage license

I heard on the news that some German politician is running for office and proposed that marriages should require a licence and would have to apply for a renewal in order for it to extend the relationship. If you chose not to renew the marriage would dissolve.

End tables

Nothing’s new.
Screwing around building things, taking time off fixing up the house, playing xbox 360 and getting ready for winter.
I think it’s going to be a long one.

I am in the middle of making some end tables. I don’t think the finish is going to look good since they’re made out of pine. It’s a light soft wood that doesn’t take color evenly or dark enough.

Everytime I see a maple or oak tree I wonder how it would look like as a table. Am I evil?

Extra cost for nuts

Dairy Queen charges $0.59 for nuts when ordering a sundae.
I believe these should be standard on any sundae and should not be an added feature. They should given as a separate sealed packet to be called a ‘nut packet’ given to each consumer if requested. This will assist those allergic to nuts (another peeve).

Big ladder, small car

This afternoon I fit a 21 foot ladder in my 4-door sedan without involving the trunk, folding the seats down or having it stick out of the exterior.
Figure that one out.

The next car I get is definitely going to be silver again !
