Both my adult children got it (recovered), lost an aunt, a coworker, and old school buddy. My daughter had moderate symptoms and recovered quickly. My son's shop closed after 6 out of 9 techs got sick, he was number seven. He spent 5 days in CCU - fortunately wasn't ventilated - and is on a long...

Took advantage of the nice weather to finish up this phase of the interior so I can move on back to mechanicals now that the ground is dry and solid. Hit the counter with poly. It’s old barn board taken from 19th building we tore down in the back yard a few years ago because of insurance...

Knocked a few more things out today, nothing seems to go as quickly as I think they will :). sink pump mounted and wired up. what I like is the sprayer can reach out the window CB installed, same vintage as the bus :) battery isolator installed, but not thrilled with the fuse blocks...

Welp, the "refresh" I did on the kick panels elicited a "what the hell, those are ugly as sin and don't match anything. Are you seriously going to put that in there?" from the better half. Oops. I guess she isn't into OG . So, today had a break between meetings and cut up the leftover carpet I...

Thanks, guys. I’m having fun and starting to get excited with progress. Not much done today, too many calls. Got one kick panel restored and some more curtains sewn up. Do not fear the sewing machine, it’s a tool and even has an accelerator :).

Former sea coast NH resident, now northwestern Maine. Welcome!

Has a little time today to do stuff so carpeted pedestals, hooked up 2m radio, ran out of time to do CB :( repurposed laptop table finallygot grommets to wrap up exterior lighting Wanted to get house battery wired up but snow tomorrow. Grrrr

Grew up right across the border from Gilman, VT. Now in northwestern Maine (God's other country, lol). Welcome to the fold. VT is a destination of choice for us, such a beautiful state.

Yesterday snow, today almost 55F, Mother Nature needs to change her meds :). I took advantage of the nice weather since I had the middle of the day off and got some work done. Mounted inverter, some outlets from house battery, switches for interior lighting, and switch/outlet for shore power...

My family at one time or another have all worked at a Dunks, I like the coffee :). The donuts I have to pass on (keto) but when I did eat them, I loved their French Crullers :). Our coffee maker at home is a surplus one from a Dunks that was remodeled.

We brew 10-12 (12-cup carafes, have a commercial BUNN as we kill consumer brewers in about a year) pots a day for the two of us. Store brand is the choice for economic reasons. When out and about, then usually will pick up a pound of Green Mtn or bag of Dunks from the stash, the better half's...

Exactly! My dad used to love "spam and pickle" sammichs. He would use an old crank meat grinder and grind together SPAM and gerkin pickles, then mix with a little mayo to make a sandwich spread. I haven't had it in ages, might just have to make me some!

Spam and pickle. Mmmm. Time to break out the grinder...

Hoping to be at the point to hit the trails this summer. Feels close until I look at my list :(. Yes, that is overspray on the windshield, it is delaminated and cracked so I pulled it out, cleaned up the pinchweld, then set just the glass back in for paint. Saved having to mask off that complex...

Add me to the pour over clan. We lose power up here frequently in the winter, tried the french press for exactly one outage and put it away. Cleaning it is a colossal PITA. Beauty of the pour over is it fits on a pot or a mug, make only as much as you want using one device. Brought it and the...

Thanks. I hate to admit but they are $0.29 for a pair, cheap as hell, Ebay DLRs from China that I got as disposable lighting for an aquaponics proof of concept project. They lasted longer than I would have expected with the test (over a year in a high-humidity environment running 16 hrs on\8...

Very clean job, nice.

Perimeter lighting.

Very cool, watching :)

Spring has sorta come in Maine. We had 8" of snow on Wednesday, 55F yesterday. Mother Nature I think is off her meds. My primary job is still open for business and I volunteer nights as an EMT so despite the pandemic (and thanks to the weather), I hadn't gotten anything done other than move it...
