They were supposed to replace it this weekend but it was pushed back due to Permit problems... Yup. California. The smog issue across the LA basin is a lot better than it used to be. What you see where is actually the Marine layer sitting over the port in Long Beach. It'll be burned off by noon and with my Bushnell 10x50mm binos on my desk, I can usually see Catalina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm deep in a dark corner. Definitely at home use. I don't think mineral oil would stand up to the number of heads that roll around here. I'm grateful for the window also. My team of 3 all sit in one (larger) office on a trading desk so I guess our combined clout gives us a few windows. It's great until sitting at the computer at 5am half asleep with black windows on two sides of the room. That makes it hard to wake up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Corporate traders asleep at the chopping block ! Somehow that appeals to me in a twisted sort of fashion. It might take far more than mineral oil to protect that chopping block from such acidic blood.... its late and I've been drinking, surely this is just an elaborate fantasy ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stationed at Cannon Air Force Base for 4+ years in the lovely (sarcasm) Clovis, New Mexico. Parts of Ruidoso were very picturesque as you can see from the picture.

Alison's family has had a cabin there since the 70's. It's only about 2 1/2 hours from here, so we head down fairly often. We grew up in west TX oil country - much like Clovis, so Ruidoso was a welcome change. I went to college in Lubbock. We headed to Ruidoso to ski several times a year when we couldn't afford Taos.

Klappco Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just got a small drawer glued up for my checker box. Details will be along soon but it is a mahogany base for a stone board. Now sitting on the patio listening to some tunes and smelling the beef ribs cooking. Using oak wine barrel staves for smoke and the smell really nice. Summer is good. Also so I need to list the old small bandsaw on Craigslist today. No room since the big Jet showed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I like meat and potatoes as much as the next guy, but I have to have some form of greens along with them. Smoked/grilled everything can’t be too healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
