Greetings The third Tuesday is an elusive sort of day. Some months it just strolls in, seemingly in no hurry, arriving as late as the 21st. Other times (like July 2025) it rushes in and arrives nearly a week earlier on the 15th. You would think a seasoned newsletter editor would prepare for the early […]

So, on the day of the meeting, I got inspired to clean the shop. […]

If you want to accomplish anything around the house or in the shop, […]

Greetings Sorry the newsletter is getting out to you late. I’ve been under the weather a bit this week. With Valentine’s Day on us, I’m glad I ordered a little gift for my wife early. I got my daughter to pick up some flowers for me, so I made it thru another Valentine’s Day unscathed. […]
