Sunday.  Better weather for today. Going to do a walk later today. Try my new sneakers. See if they strangle my toes.   

Did the port and starboard sides for the model today. Now have to work on the top side. A couple of more weeks and I can start cutting parts. 

Went to poetry ready this afternoon. Marilyn was reading her poem which was published in Pennsylvania Bards Eastern PA Poetry Review 2024.  

The reading was well attended and there were a bunch of  readers.  I felt a little out of place with all the poets in attendance.  I inflict my literary ignorance on you dear reader and no one else.  M read her poem well and felt real good about it and I was so proud to see her do it.

Cold windy day. Wanting to go out but to stinking raw.  Anyway me and M are just low energy today.  After taking Mike and Gail home last night we got in after midnight. Thankfully the traffic  was not as bad as it was going to the city.  We spent the day napping and doing some work around the house. I made some business cards for myself and did more work on the plane model.

Finally Friday.  Getting last birthday presents for M. I'm hope she'll like them all. A bunch of little things. 

Went to Dinner with friends in south Philly.  My gods! The traffic was horrible. I really love my friends but I was just about to give up and go home an hour into traffic.  Getting there was not fun. It turned around as there was parking to be had the weather was not terrible. 

Dinner was very nice. Great company. I knocked over a tray of drinks being served. Pasta was divine.  It was a great night.

 Miss me?  Sorry been busy and really not in any interesting way.   The special project was Mike's Birthday present. A bottle of Bourbon laser etched and in a custom box.  Made sign for Hilltop bookstore.  

 Work, still a drag.  Mostly trying to get by.  They are trying to make things my problem and I do believe the problem is theirs.  Which is who will replace me.  After I leave it will not be my problem.   Still have a ways to go yet. 

I still see about a 1K views from the other side of the world.  Hong Kong, China and others.   Really would like to know who downloads my blog from there?

Work completed. At least I won't have to go in for a couple of weeks …. Win!   I also made an executive decision that we would skip Thursdays. Let's see how long that lasts. 

Too tired to work on the plane tonight.   Just going to veg out. Now you can see why you have not seen me for a few days…..

 FriYAY!!!   Made chicken in the oven this morning.  I'll have a good lunch today.  Would be better on the grill but it's 25 deg out!  Yikes! It's still winter!  

Going to Home Depot after lunch to get clamps for the project. Need some 12 in and 24 inch clamps.
