Gray Day
It would feel more like the 50 degree day that we are having if the sun had come out. Far off to the southwest I can see the clearing as the sun is beginning to set.
Today, I finished the exterior of the wooden trunk project. Though the sander had a collection container, it was time to tidy up that portion of the project. I had such an array of stuff on the top of the church tables. Putting everything back where it belonged wore me out a bit. Cleaning the sander with the Filter Queen attachments made short work of it. I cannot believe what a work horse that vacuum can be. The sander with its goodies is back in the box. Today, the city’s postal service delivered the package from Amazon with the additional sandpaper. Who knows when the sander will be called into action, I wanted to make sure we had on hand what would be needed.
Tomorrow, I may be doing more vacuuming in the studio. With the finger-sized attachment that I used on the sander, that attachment did not allow for the dust to be collected. I tried to have the vacuum running in close proximity of where I was sanding . . . with minimal success. Any little bit did help.
This project does beg the question: was this really all necessary? No, of course not. Couldn’t I have been content reading a book and watching traffic go by? It was a matter of challenging myself to see if I could pull it off. So far . . . so good. The internet tells me that I can wipe off what ever wants to be wiped off of the metal bands that are holding the trunk together with WD-40. Next step in the works will be to check out what we have on hand. I do feel a few days off in that regard.
This evening’s supper will be the pre-cooked Johnsonville beef brats with the leftover sauerkraut in the 32 oz. jar in the refrig. I can see myself putting a brat and kraut in between a slice of bread and calling it fare for an indoor picnic.
Dennis has PT in the morning. Me . . . not so much going on. I am sure I will find something to keep me on my toes. Speaking of toes . . . I always wear heavy socks and shoes when in the studio.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
