good morning,
too early to make coffee. It would be too cool when Annie gets up.
I didn't work outside in the cold damp yesterday. same today. I think I will grab a couple of tools and clean them up.
Might bag up some shavings.
better/warmer days coming.

dang ! high 40's and sunny. what a nice day.
I took a bottle of pneumatic tool oil and played with some tools. I got two half inch impact wrenches and a quarter inch pneumatic drill unstuck and working again. These are the tools I found int the mystery box. can't beat free at any price, eh ?
I came up with the idea of making some shelves between the studs in the hallway between the garage and the shop. they will be about 5 to 6 inches deep. I plan to put cans like WD40, starting fluid, etc on those shelves. wasted space otherwise.
Art, I do not nuked coffee after it has become cold. It is OK if it is still somewhat warm.. So far today , I have had way too much coffee..

I make a pot of half-caf(so as not to get too caffeinated) in the morning,
reheat(or not, in summer)as needed thru the day. A few cups in the morning a few more mid-afternoon.

Gonna be warmer and drier today than yesterday,
