    Cutting boards

    Holy smokes! That's some serious pricing there.... Add feet for $15.00???? Heck, I paid 8 bucks for a bag of 8. Now that I have the jigs made I can knock one out pretty quick. I should re-examine my career. (kidding)

    Let's have coffee! What's your favorite coffee mug?

    While not necessarily my favorite- I posted that earlier, the Borg(Star Trek reference) I work for gave us these 30oz Yeti tumblers.

    Supply chain SNAFU

    I guess I should consider myself lucky, or else I live in Oz. Here in north central Wisconsin the Walmart and local small markets I shop all seem to be business as usual. In fact, at Walmart there are so many employees it's common to see them in almost every food aisle. I see the news stories...

    Anyone else interested in oil heaters?

    Most of mine is in primer now with the base still soaking in the vinegar. I did a dry pre-burn to level the wick.
