Ah HA ! Missed ya !

So this week is Geez,, you could have killed yourself doin that week,...

Simple - I am finishing a wood project in the WOODSHED.   I am needing a piece of wwod that is say 4 feet long and 1/2 think....  humm - what do I have here - so I don't need to go to HD to get one,,,

Ah HA - I see it in the over head of the shed - Uop where they run a horizontal support across the Roof Rafter to hold them in place - I and using that space for a lumber rack,,,

Ok,, Get the 2 step step stool,   Lock it in place or so I think ,,,,  go Up ,, step one step two,,, reach for the end of that board we spied out  a minute ago and Whoosh ! The Stool collapses and flies across the floor.  I am falling  directly backwards heading toward the Floor of the Shed... 

There is my newly acquired chop saw on its Stand about  8 - 10 inches to my right......  there is my double shelf Craftsman metal tool box about  6 inches to  my left .. directly behind me  3 feet away is my wooden work bench - a variety of tools usually litter the floor - screw guns, Jig saws, hammer , crow bar, power sander, etc etc,,,, 

I hit the edge of the chop saw stand with my right arm, and the graze the tool box with my left arm....
BOOM - I mean fuckin BOOM - I hit the floor - back first then ass then head - Did I say f'ing BOOM - yea well  - BOOM,,  I miss the Chop saw and stand- I missed the Metal tool box corners, I miss the Work Bench....  and there is noting on the floor under me except a few construction screws,,,,  WOW

Hitting any one of those things on the way down, the Chop saw - the Metal box, the Work bench would have meant some kinda serious injury - certainly a concussion,,,   probably worse especially if I hit the Tool box or the saw,,,, and yes - although i have my phone with me - Its up in the Bench and my my would not have come to check on me until it got near Dinner time - which was like 3 hours away - so woof was this one close..  All over Hurrying,,, and not ensuring that the Step stool wa sin the locked position... Won't make that mistake again !!

  hummm,, what is a fitting theme for today's music.

And you thought it was fun before

So - what exactly is going on here,,,,,???

I am struggling thru this winter  - doing some work  around my place,  new corner desk for the Imac, with a  Drawer that I made,,, actually looks good.  Moved all the plastic tube containers from the Shed into the basement , had to build 4 new shelves for  them . This was a great Idea from my wife. It freed up lots of room in the shed.

Did I tell you that my Chow saw flipped off the plastic stand and the handle broke off,,, and sure enough no one had a replacement handle,  and I super Glued it without success.... So I have a new Dewalt 12" single compound - NOT a slider - saw and a Saw stand.  and BTW - at 1st use,, this thing cuts finer more accurate angles than the Craftsman ever could...

Anyway, I completed the Corner desk. and am building some Toy (Plumbing/Electrical/Nuts&Bolts) storage bins. Same design - I am just gonna get rid of a big tool box bottom, and replace it with these Bins. Next up 1)  New Cellar windows at my sons house,  2) a nice new Master bath - necessitating a week away on Short Island. 3) Rolling work cart for the Shed. 4) Week in America's playground to build a Fireplace hearth, Mantle install and new Ship lap for a Gas fireplace (maybe a trip to the Gun range shhhhhhhh  don't say nothing) (oh and a trip to Dillinger's in Boulder city for the Best Burger on the planet ) ........

Our country's political situation is worse,,,, This Memo that tRump says vindicates him does no such thing,  but the A hole GOP senators that may need th POTUS support for reelection are climbing up his ASS  to support his view. the Democrats have drafted their version of the MEMO - and surprisingly it was endorsed  unanimously  by the Senate Intelligence committee - now Dick head has 5 days to sign it and it gets released to the general public or reject it, so this ought-a be good.

Regardless of what side of aisle you are on - I want you to do an experiment for me. Turn on CNN and watch an hour of Anderson Cooper 360 or maybe split it up watchin 1/2 hr of OUTFRONT with Erin Burnett and then 1/2 hr with AC.,.  then switch to FOX news  - Sean Hannity  and or Tucker Carlson...   Now you tell me - Are we living in the Same country and seeing things the same way ?? Talk about Different interpretations of the same thing !!

Anxiously awaiting the mid term  elections to see if the Democrats can take back control of one or Both houses...   and what that will then mean to the Political outlook of the Country.

I'll tell you - I want to live 20 more years ( doubt I will ) but I want to see how even recent history looks back and views these days....   and will we asking Why did the other GOP senators and Congressman/Women not stand up and say - NO FING WAY - this is wrong,, or will it be played out the other way.....  I have said all along that this can of worms only opens fro real from the INSIDE OUT ,,, so It will take someone of character to stand up and call the POTUS an out and out liar and show proof - till that happens we are slogging Waist Deep in the Big Muddy - AGAIN

Open day in MLB is like 50 days away - Jesus it can't get here fast enough ......

Super bowl ??  Who cares ,,,,

Nascar  ok - I'll watch the Daytona 500.

I know you scrolled down to see what Videos I would post up with today Blog entry  !!  If you are stuck listening to the same ole thing ,, you gotta break out,,, if you are in ears reach of the WDST antenna,, then tune up 100.1 on your FM dial - IF not there is I HEART radio and look up Radio Woodstock.....  I'll give you 2 songs that I heard here that I would never have heard anywhere else..
