?

Will they be choreographing another vacation? ? Enjoy reading (and seeing) vacations people have taken.

If I'm unable to go on one myself at this time; I may as well see the country through someone else's eyes. I can get a few more ideas of places to go see in person when I retire in 3 years and get a travel trailer. ?

GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES IN THE NEW YEAR EVERYONE ???

Took her for a cross state drive with a beautiful sunset behind me.

Drove it to work, heated seats feel soooo good when it's 17 degrees. Tracy would be giving me the stink eye for the lines...

Won a bid on an 8'x2' chemical resistant lab table. The top is maple or oak..will need to look further into that. Base frame is sturdy. Starting bid was $100 and I managed to get it for $200 after a few back to back bids with another bidder. Managed to convince my brother to assist with hauling it down a flight of stairs and into the bed of the truck. I swear every time I strap something down I have to check it multiple times and then check it again just to be sure. Certainly thankful to have a 6ft bed. I didn't get a pic of it strapped in the bed but here it is in its new home. I'm thinking of rounding the corners and adding a vise. Plus side is the height is perfect for standing work.

So you're saying your eyes had somehow frosted over? Frozen sideways?
I'm betting Miss Tracy isn't gonna buy that as an excuse.
Good luck, brother! ?

ThatsANiceSturdyWorkbench, ThatsAMonkey......good steel frame, leveling legs. There is a mill that makes custom butcher block work near me, for kitchen countertops and tables, etc. and I got some seconds there pretty cheap.
Must be nice to have a/c in your he/she/monkey-shed!

That's awesome! How much do the seconds run for? Showed it to my father and he texted back asking if they had any more for that price haha. I'm guessing they were renovating the upper floor because it was at a town hall and all the tables, chairs, equipment were moved to one side of the room and stacked. I'm thinking once the warmer weather arrives I'll get those corners rounded and maybe paint the metal with some Rustoleum since it'll be out in the monkey-shed.

Nah, I just keep it stored in the shed. Wishful thinking! Pulled the trigger and got mini splits installed in the house so I do not need it anymore.

Yoda say's....
Right you must do. Either right or do not. There is no try.
Looks like park with eyes closed, you did.

She's strict about parking habits...not a chance to get out of it...

I'll man up & take the punishment

@bsr956 - Tires on the white line = in bounds. Point counts.

I picked up 2 28" x 28" pieces and some smaller rectangles. I think the whole thing was around $40. I sanded them and rounded the edges and applied butcher block oil . Amazon had the high top bar stand, nice and heavy, the base is actually cast iron. They are in my basement next to the bar. One is used as my "home office".
I cut a rectangle to make the 2 matching corner shelves. They had some really long pieces, like your table and longer, must have been countertops, but they looked like old fashioned shuffleboards! We had similar counter tops in our research lab at my former steel company.
I can't see why they are seconds, it seems to be maple, maybe some tiny worm holes? If you get to Bally, PA that's where the factory is. Look up butcherblock.com.
