Sunday August 24th 2025

I have been completely out of sync with the weather the last few days. The pattern has the best part of the day from early morning to about noon. The first major storm of the day starts around noon with lots of thunder and lightening. The rest of the day is a combination of light rain and more thunderstorms with a few breaks in between. Unfortunately, I am not in an early in the day activity pattern. I am just thinking about getting active after a lazy breakfast when the storms arrive.

I need to get back to my furniture building projects. The incentive dropped as I reached a comfortable level of existence and the outside working conditions deteriorated. That was last December when the daily high temperatures dropped to the sixties at best and darkness came early. I missed restarting my building activities when the conditions improved in late February and early March. It was soon too warm to work outside again. My next window of opportunity is rapidly approaching.

Not having a place to put my coffee cup down while sitting on my couch the other day raised my interest level in completing my efforts. I have an end table to complete, a table for the front window area and maybe a coffee table for the middle of the living room. The plans I sketched last fall are still sitting on my desk. Each project requires one or two panel glue ups, so they will take some time. I enjoy the tasks, but working outside under my car port area can be a challenge.
