Both lol.
Im almost finished sanding, wow that took a while. I decided to sand all the boards before assembly because some where slightly different thickness. Ive gotta do 1 more pass and then lay them out the way I want them. Then I’m gonna smooth out some of the edges so they fit mostly flush.
It is really nice wood, found a roll off box full of pallets. Now that I’m noticing, it’s absolutely crazy how much wood gets thrown away. I found a really nice pallet in a construction dumpster, gonna stop by tomorrow and ask the men if I can grab it. They boards look brand new, very nice condition.
I also had an interview today, and I’m kinda sad that it went very well because I just got into this hobby. I’m feels like I’m working, dkeeps me busy and feeling productive. I still have another interview with the hiring manager, they might not pick me still.

2nd interviews are always cause for optimism!
In my field, if you’re not switching jobs, head hunters assume you’re not interested in furthering your career.
When someone told me about an opportunity (These folks are worse than used car sales persons.) I researched the hell out of them. The better business borough, google reviews… I’d even go in and interview the current employees. How do they treat you, do you like it here, tell me about a typical day…
You gotta know those employees are telling their bosses that this woman is serious about this job.
I’m not bragging, but I was damn good back in the day. Loved research! Too much to handle now-a-days.
Anyway, here’s the key. If they ask you why they should hire you (If they don’t, tell them to ask you) and tell them, "It’s in my best interest that your company succeeds. If they seem to have a personality (Sense of humor) tell them you’re hoping to be able to retire, so it’s in my best interest that you succeed.
Never failed to get a job I didn’t want.
May I ask what your field is? If so, please don’t just say yes.

LOL!!! She probably thought you were hitting on her 
Just kidding. Dunno where you’re at, but here in the U.S. we don’t give a clue as to where we live. Unless you’re my age, have a Springfield .45 with hollow-points and a laser. Need that laser. tri-foculs. I can see the sights, I can see the target, just not at the same time. Right handed, Macular Degeneration in the right eye…
And a t-shirt that says, “Now I lay me down to sleep. Beside my bed a gun I keep. If I awake and you’re inside, the coroner’s van will be you’re last ride.” And I don’t even live in Texas!
People! How many times do I have to tell you, I’m funny?! I’ve been telling my wife for some 60 years, and she STILL doesn’t see it.
True story. Tank on my toilet cracked. Called a plumber to give me a quote to replace it. Told me I needed a whole new toilet because they don’t make them anymore. I told him I thought he was not the right man for the job.
Why, whattaya mean? I said I have one ordered and it’ll be here the day after tomorrow.
YELLS at me. Where did you get it?
How is that relevant? You seem to me to have few ethics and I think you should vacate this premises.
Yells. Not until you tell me where you got it.
Opened the door and asked that he use it as an exit.
Again. Not until you tell me where you got it.
Hold that thought, said, I.
Went upstairs, came back down, pointed the .45 at his face. Fired up the laser. Slowly moved it down to his balls.
Coolest thing! Goes pale, eyes wide open… I asked him if he knows what they call those in Italian.
No.
They call them Coglione’s. Italian slang for testicles. Means, idiot, dumb-ass… (You’ll see that used in my nutty recipes here.)
Like them? Are you attached to them?
Opened the door again and asked to see how fast he could run. He had “some” dignity. He didn’t run, but he walked awfully damned fast! I give honest and detailed reviews on google, good or bad.
Moral of the story, folks. When you cross a man that thinks he’s hilarious with an asshole… You get to know me just a little bit.

That’s funny right there, boy! I’m on the 9th hole on the English Hills golf course, Walker City Michigan. I take my usual whack at the ball. Am I supposed to spell, fore, for or four?
FINALLY someone (Else) with a sense of humor! To whom I’m showing appreciation!
I write a freaking book, EVERY single post, just to kill time and in the hopes that someone will chuckle. What do I get? A straight forward answer. I WANT TO MAKE YOU CHUCKLE! Enjoy life!
Might as well be on a Linux forum. Those sudo-intellectuals don’t have time for humor.
Have anyone of you ever read a Readers Digest? Laughter is the best medicine!
I love life! Because there’s so much to find humor in. Road rage? I don’t watch the news. News rage. I vote my party. After that, whatever will be will be. Local ordinances? I vote my conscience.
Come on, people, enjoy life. What’s it take, a minute to share a chuckle? 60 words a minute? I’ve been typing for over 30 years, and I’m no more than 60 minutes a word. 1958. Teach typing? The fuck is that, and what’s the value?
Have FUN!!! Love life.

Fo (Pronounced “Fough)
Favorite joke ever from that many decades ago; “ A college graduate and a West Virginia hillbilly were applying for a train engineer position, the manager asked one question of each, “What would you do if you saw two trains on the same track coming towards each other at 100 miles an hour?” The college graduate answered, I’d flip the switch to divert one train on a different track.” After thinking for quite sometime, the manager told the hillbilly, your time is up I need your answer. The hillbilly replied in his thick twang, “ I’d go get my brother!” The manager asked why in the world would you do that? The hillbilly in true West Virginian way of thinking, “well he ain’t never seen a train wreck afore!”

I bought a dust collector thinking I could use it with my random orbital sander. I have a big shop vac but it may as well be the loudest shop vac on the planet. I figure I can get something better for collecting a dust for my random orbital sander. It turns out a dust collector is not for random orbital sanders… I tried connecting the hose and there is no suction. A dust collector is supposed to have a massive 4-in vent to collect dust from the air. So, now I need to bring this dumb thing back. I’m going to try to get them to take it from me all assembled like I have it, I’ll just bring my tools with me to take it apart in case they tell me. They won’t take it assembled. I just don’t have any of that type of tools that would utilize the system. I tried using it to figure if I would be useful to me but I really do need just a dust extractor not a dust collector. Ffs.
