A challenge to each of us, before the possible three-day shut down of Mudcat while Max moves to a new town.

I'm going to keep a text file of my activity. I'll pare it down so it isn't 2 volumes hardbound after three days, but reporting to this thread has really been helpful, and if it isn't here, I can write for when it will be back. The rest of you need to give yourselves the same kind of boost if you need it.

This afternoon while waiting for my lunch to cook I started looking at the antiques over my kitchen cupboards. I could see that there was stuff up there that isn't antique, it was just stuck up there for looks or to get it out of the way. So I pulled down a mended tea pot (won't ever be used again) and a couple of other things that had been kept for no good reason and put them in the trash or the recycle bin. I'm going to rearrange that area, maybe move something extra up there. I really like the museum look some of these things have, and it needs to be refreshed.

I also finished re-spacing and attaching (with carriage bolts) some redwood boards on a table I picked up at the curb about a year ago. Someone else's trash has been on my front porch not exactly usable for all of this time, but now it is on it's way. I need to clean it then prime a few spots and I'll paint it with the dark brown trim paint we used on my house last fall. Before and now. Not finished yet. The rock is one I uncovered in the tall grass when I transplanted a couple of things. It had been put down when the grass wasn't in the garden and decorative rocks were decorative!
