Church, Barry, Moon and Skylane

Monday morning I had an 8:20 AM doctors appointment, they called about 7:30 and cancelled it because the doctor had called in sick.  They rescheduled me for later in the week, I hope he is well by then.  I puttered on the computer until it was time for choir practice at church, then I went down to download the files off of the computer I worked on last week.  It is running Windows XP so I got to sit there for quite a while as it did the transfer and listen to the choir practice which was nice.  I spent most of the rest of the day cleaning my desk and organizing things for doing our Income Taxes.

I worked on the Skylane first thing this morning once "Lets make a Deal" was over.  I came in for something and when I headed back out there was a strange car, as I was trying to see who it was, Barry got out, that was a big surprise.

We visited for a while and then he headed on to Olympia.  Their Mazda CX 5 is sure a nice looking car.

The spinner I wanted to use on the Skylane needed the back plate bored out to fit the adapter.  I got the lathe out, put the back plate in the chuck and discovered the jaws hit the rails so it would not turn.  As I was pondering that I remembered they make a plate that goes under the headstock to raise it up.  I was able to block the headstock and cutter up 3/4 of an inch and get the job done.  Now I have a bid in for one on eBay.

I got the assembly mounted on the Skylane, it runs true and looks just the way I wanted.

James came up to mount a switch for his car stereo and mentioned the moon sure looked big.  We ended up outside taking pictures and this was the best one.  I tried later but there was a thin layer of clouds so I never got a clear picture.

Today was Bev's birthday so I hunted up this picture of her first birthday party at my folk's house and sent it to her.
