Island Of Misfits

[ROSTERMAN]

While we are on the subject of making original kinds of spinning tops, I made these:

That big disk could make a kewl John Wick weapon if the edge was studded with razors.

Fargin thing weighs about three pounds. I laminated white maple and dark oak.

Hey... I just noticed: I made the candle holder in the upper right, too.

Is that a dreidel

Nah. It is sumpin' that took me about ten tries to get right; that top spins upside down on the little stem. If you get it right, on a hard surface... that tiny contact point does not make much friction. It goes for a ridiculous time.

It is just a dense piece of white maple from a gorgeous piece some crazy bastage at the hunt club threw in the fire. Can you believe it? MILK-colored wood, fine grained, friggin' rare...

And some scabrous misfeasor throws it on a fargin campfire in a Florida swamp.

I made like a maharaja's bride and jumped in the flames to rescue the chunk. Among other things, I made that white bowl in the middle out of it. BTW: That is all bare wood, polished smooth as glass.

@Hippie420 is coming for Thanksgiving

Don't go too fast on the therapy stuff. I overdid therapy-working with my shot-up left shoulder, and wound up having the fargin shoulder taken off and replaced with Terminator parts. Go easy. Ain't no hurry.

Alas, both my knees are already Terminator parts brother Walt, and the left just required an overhaul. Too bad it's not as easy to overhaul other body parts or I would have a new lower back and neck.

43F @ 94% RH, partially cloudy, and predicted to reach 55F.

Portland adds opioid OD spike to go along with its meth crisis.

A good workout at PT, but a lot of pain afterwards, so I didn’t sleep very well last night. The Tylenol didn’t cut it, but I resisted taking Oxycodone and am trying to address it this morning with ice.

My motion measurements were greatly improved from the first time, which I attribute to hanging a 16.7lb weight from my extended knee to help fully extend it. It’s interesting that didn’t add to the pain, while the simple exercises at PT has both times.

Today is the day I’ve been instructed to change the bandage on my knee, so I get to see what it looks like. I don’t feel any staples, so wonder how they put it back together this time.

Happy Thanksgiving all; dinner here today, but not the usual gathering of family members. We invited one friend to join us, who is a nationally recognized Le Cordon Bleu chef, and who subsequently volunteered to spatchcock the 23lb turkey and make the giblet gravy.

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every grower / smoker, member and hangers on here. Coffee.. pinch hits.. inlaws.. In that order. (Well, maybe repeat that middle one a couple times first)

Stupid ass f/n computer. I'm allowed about 15 minutes or so then I got to shut it down and restart everything.

Seems I must have grabbed the jar of Sativa this morning.

Morning Misfits. Simple day for me. Only my daughter and Son in Law are coming this year. Covid sure has changed things. Just less of a mess to clean up and more leftovers.

Got our first snow of the season last night. Only a couple of inches but a nice white blanket covers everything today. Will let be melted off by noon.

Wil l be spending the morning cooking and getting things ready for the feast later.

Heading out to big brother's for family time. Warned him that the OH and I weren't vaxed. If'n he hands me a mask at the door, it's going to be a short visit.
