What did you do today?

[Tom King]

My truck is too old to have a built in backup camera.   I bought a GPS that has a built in backup camera, and haven't backed into anything since.

[RichardA]

I don't have any back up camera, but I do have mirrors. And I use them.

If you have to fix a carport at least you get a nice view while doing it.

I spent the day with my wife and her attorney regarding a dog we purchased 8 years ago. Easy peasy! 

Just jackin Tom, good luck bud.

No a good day I'm thinking..

Went to a Woodcraft class on routers, in Boise.  Got home at 11:30pm, grabbed a beer and read about madcap adventures.  Very entertaining.  Thanks!

My trucks has an 8'6" wide, by 5' high zone behind it that it's not possible for mirrors to see.  For years, I was able to plan ahead, but once a wheelbarrow moved, all by itself, right into the blind spot.

[RichardA]

I backed 53' trailers into 9' wide spaces to get freight unloaded using only mirrors for more than 30 years. Backing a pickup or car without a rear camera is simply a matter of distance judgement and mirrors.  To me it's second nature, to most everyone else cameras are necessary.

The only backup camera I'm interested in is one on the back of my RV..I would still use my mirrors for backing anyway but a quick look in camera would be nice. The problem with cameras is some people stop using there mirrors and are two lazy to turn there head now a days..

[Mick S]

Alison has a backup camera. Didn’t help in this case because she wasn’t backing up. Then again, it didn’t help when she backed out of the carport into the rock planter wall a few months ago. She’s a good candidate for an autonomous car.

Are you sure it was Alison? my wife was missing for a few hours yesterday, she's hit everything in Iowa and i think she might have taken a trip to NM

My Wife is really good about not hitting things that aren't moving, but I told her last year that she really should get a Deer hunting license.   She said the Vultures, and Eagles need to eat too.

So your wife is eco-friendly. Mine stopped being friendly long time ago.

[wdwerker]

I had 2 wives that quit being friendly, now they are ex-wives !

Going on my third!

Men get married thinking she will never change. Women get married thinking we can be trained.

Here's where you find out how undefeated I can be, I have 6 count'em 6 ex wives.  Some women are in marriage for the benifits.  I was a long haul truck driver making really damn decent money, and I was rarely home. All 6 of them found that to be ideal.  No husband home to pester them, a damn decent deposit every week, what more could a woman want. Of those 6 there is a total of 5 1/2 years divided among them.  Number 7, is rock solid for more than 20 years.

[wdwerker]

Persistent one aren't you !

The problem was when you came home. Looking down at all those beavers or better put, seat cover's. A feller gets pretty damn pent-up.   Ahhh, roger that!

For some reason i decided that i needed to flatten my bench today.

There were 1/4 inch gapes in some places. I don't ever suggest doing a pine bench unless you let that stuff dry for 9 months.

There were 1/16th inch gapes in some places. I don't ever suggest doing a pine bench unless you let that stuff dry for 9 months.

 

Looks great! Do you flatten it with a hand plane? if yes, what's you plane of choice for that?

[Coop]

Why do you have a live edge on one end? That would just bug the s*#t out of me

Used #7 mostly and did some clean up with the #4 where grain direction was being unruly.

Do you mean the baords that aren't cut flush? It's like that on both ends so it's symetrical ish.
