Guess I'll throw my recent activity in... Currently have a new house under construction, so we're staying with my in laws since the end of September and will be for another month. As we were packing up the old house, my wife said "Don't put the table saw in storage....", and I knew I was in for it. Wish I had a before pic, but this was October's "rent" payment: The only molding that I didn't do was the crown (but not for lack of asking). Previous baseboards were just 3.5" generic builder grade. Everything aside from the cornice over the window and the cove on the mock "columns" started out as 4x8 sheets of MDF (why waste actual wood just to paint it white?).

Finally got my concrete pad covered...

I would recommend to all you gardeners to write down the things you did this year that were good or bad. Sometime soon I'm going to post the thoughts on my garden here so I can look back at it in the spring. Some of the things I planted I never touched, and some things I wish I had more of. Have some other ideas for the spring too.

Well I don't think you will lile the Pacers new coach since his favorite song is we Built this city by Starship

I hope not. I can't stand the Cowboys and McCarthy is a joke. I can't believe Jones hired him.

Same here. Even when a couple of our sports teams had cases this fall, it was kids on those teams that attended an event unrelated to school that contracted the virus.

Currently under tropical storm watch here on the west coast of FL. So far just gusty winds and light rain.

I'm in PA and our kids have been back to school in person since late August. There have been cases at all level, though mostly at the Middle School and High Schools, but something that they've found through contact tracing is that the cases are not originating in the schools and there is very little, if no, spreading within the schools. More credence that masks do indeed work, as our schools mask policy is pretty strict.

I'm cryin' me a River!!!! 😭

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

That they have. There's at least 2-3 very impressive examples a week on Reddit's /r/woodworking sub. I don't have a planer or a jointer so taking on something from slab level isn't really possible, but I love the whole resin filling idea.

Boxes with lids. I think the tumbling ones would be good. I just use a pitch fork to turn the compost in my bins. I kind of like the bins.... in that they are obtrusive behind my raspberry bushes.

You have been busy lately. Shed, carport, harvest, time to go fishing!

Good idea. I really need to do a better job at this - and labeling what plants were what so I’m not surprised by them next Spring when they come back.

There's a live edge resin filled table in there somewhere.

That was horrifying. At least most had masks, but a bad idea to bunch up like that.

I definitely have to figure out what with wrong with my peppers.

I had the opportunity to get my hands on a few Burrels on a few Red Oak trees. I got to saw them up yesterday. Now what to do, what to do..

Did you just see the field storming at ND

Between Halloween last weekend, the election on Tuesday, and gatherings after the election, this next week could be rough.

Our neighbor's cow came over for a visit just the other day...

Here is more info: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/australia-coronavirus-cases-melbourne-lockdown/2020/11/05/96c198b2-1cb7-11eb-ad53-4c1fda49907d_story.html It's a strategy. And one that worked. Yes Melbourne did shut down, but NYC also shut down for a similar period of time and we have nothing to show for it as a country. Sacrifices were made and the economy suffered, but again so has ours. The difference is that we have 100k cases a day and they have none. (or close to none). They are going to restaurants, rugby matches and are being encouraged to go back to work. We are in a holding pattern and children across the state are going back to virtual learning. Am I recommend we do this exact thing? Not necessarily, but we should learn from it. As I've said numerous times in this thread we need to learn from the strategies of countries who have this, for the most part, under control. Our strategy has been a mix denying it's severity, playing whack-a-mole with cases rather than consistently practicing prevention, poor communication, lack of a cohesive plan (every state is doing their own thing), blaming testing, conspiracy theories, skepticism, not contact tracing, etc. There are blueprints for success...we need to use them. Because, this (or whatever we're doing), is not success.

I’ll have some of what Australia is having....mostly because when you get a handle on it, you don’t have to worry about shutting down the economy. https://thehill.com/policy/international/523942-australia-reports-no-new-covid-19-cases-for-first-time-in-five-months?fbclid=IwAR0lpWzCj7ptEMe6-iMqPvbdWtIR7ND2U5Ow2z9dSioeWvHrnNCROAW6Okc

Forgot I posted this. Arielle, my furry friend above, had to be put down October 1 due to steadily worsening heart failure. Was about 3 weeks short of her 14th birthday. Miss you, pup.
