Morning all.
Today is Tuesday, December 29th.
On this day in 1812 - The USS Constitution won a battle with the British ship HMS Java about 30 miles off the coast of Brazil. Before Commodore William Bainbridge ordered the sinking of the Java he had her wheel removed to replace the one the Constitution had lost during the battle.
1813 - The British burned Buffalo, NY, during the War of 1812.
1837 - Canadian militiamen destroyed the Caroline, a U.S. steamboat docked at Buffalo, NY.
1845 - U.S. President James Polk signed legislation making Texas the 28th state of the United States.
1848 - U.S. President James Polk turned on the first gas light at the White House.
1860 - The HMS Warrior, Britain's first seagoing iron-hulled warship, was launched.
1890 - The U.S. Seventh Cavalry massacred over 400 men, women and children at Wounded Knee Creek, SD. This was the last major conflict between Indians and U.S. troops.
1934 - Japan renounced the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 and the London Naval Treaty of 1930.
1940 - During World War II, Germany began dropping incendiary bombs on London.
1953 - Jean Stapleton debuted in her first Broadway play, "In the Summer House", which closed after only 55 performances.
1972 - Following 36 years of publication, the last weekly issue of "LIFE" magazine hit the newsstands. The magazine later became a monthly publication.
1975 - A bomb exploded in the main terminal of New York's LaGuardia Airport. 11 people were killed.

And I agree with your statement about wood... which is why I don't mess with it beyond turning logs into lumber!

Why Thank You! That's so thoughtful of you. We're going to do a video shoot with Jake for a TV commercial today, so the memory of your thoughtfulness will sustain me through what I know will be a stressful day.

There is just soooo much of this kind of stuff a sane man can handle. A yellow thick liquid is oooozzzzing all down my screen, onto my keyboard and is now dripping on the floor. YUK
double YUK - - Excuse me, I have to go get my boots - - nope, better yet, hip waders - - nope, best of all, the wetsuit complete with breathing gear. It is getting deep really fast. Horrors, what is this place coming to that we have to tolerate such baloney?

Welcome fellow wood butcher!
I told you I would take that defective tank off your hands....... I have an 8' box......
Mornin' All!
Gotta swing in a bit earlier than normal. Need a bit of cool off time......Stupid Sgt. from the other shift don't know his backside from a mud hole. Got me all torqued off before I even clocked in.
He forgot that I can be very articulate while still reaming his backside for being an idiot.......
Well made it back home....was another $$$ trip....the fuel transfer tank I bought couple weeks back was to deep as it wouldn't fit in a shortbed between the front of the bed and wheel wells....took it back today to exchange it for a narrower one in aluminum....they had sold it, so after bitchin for a bit I got this one...for only 800 + a free handpump...
