old table saw
The days are finally
drying out a little this late Sunday afternoon in late August. We
have had monsoon weather all month long great amounts of
precipitation for this area of the desert. I have noted this in my
Facebook account and everyone seems to respond that it is not weird
or strange weather rather than be concerned I should be grateful.
Grateful though I am not I feel shortchanged the summer of wetness.
There are only so many days of dry hot weather available in any
calendar year and I am not satiated yet this year of wet summer days.
In fact one day this past week the day was so chilly I wore long
pants in the middle of August! It is odd to see the amount of
vegetation/greenery there is in the mountains above Salt Lake.
Usually this time of year the mountains are dry and usually there is
a fire somewhere because the dryness but not this year, this year
it's too wet to burn. I suppose this is a blessing and I should take
it as that somehow, you know me, I'm waiting for the other shoe to
fall. In fall it will, something to do with moisture, and seasonal
moisture brought about through global warming.
Our garden continues to
produce almost wildly, Dianne harvests three or 4 Yellow crooked
neck squash space daily. The eggplants continue to grow as a good
children should. In fact yesterday we gave away a whole pot of
producing a plant to Gabe and Bridget. I hope they will mature for
those two as they have for us. The point being we have produce and
now we have to use that produce. So, this morning I made a colossal
squash and onion and pepper omelet. I surprised myself with how good
the omelet turned out. The omelet looked beautiful one of the best
omelets I've ever made and I must admit the omelet tasted pretty good
to me as well. I only wish our tomatoes would've done as well.
Luckily, however, one of our neighbors has given us a nice bag of
tomatoes one of their kids raised. Hopefully, next year our tomatoes
will be better.
Yesterday, Bridget Gabe
and Asher were over and we hung out outside for a while. They were on
their way to Lowes, and Lowe's was one of the places I want to get to
this weekend. I'm seriously entertaining the thought of going ahead
and purchasing a table saw on a safe and stable platform that would
allow me to work on my sticks much safer than I am now. Going to
another saw has been a difficult decision for me primarily for the
reason that have a perfectly good saw sitting in the garage in the
wheelbarrow. I've used this song without incident for the past five
or seven years but I must admit the accident Alan Kimball had a few
weeks ago with his lathe must give me pause. Dianne is in support of
my purchasing this new piece of equipment so I should be gung ho but
yet I like back and him slow to make the decision. However with the
excursion to the store yesterday I am ready to go the next step and
get the tablesaw
