"Weekend Doin's"

[Nancy Laird]

I have a big craft fair tomorrow and am expecting lots of lookee-loos and hopefully some buyers. It's the first day of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta with lots of tourists in town, so things should be hopping around here.

Sunday is going to be a day of rest for me, since I've worked 'til 6 at my office every night this week and at home until 11 or after on stuff for my show.

OFF MONDAY!!!

Have a loverly weekend, everyone!

Might put a final coat of USL on my drawers (um... the cabinet drawers, not... oh, never mind), but I'm more likely to declare victory and move on to the next phase.

Well, since the kitchen floor has been re-laid, it's time to work on the kitchen lighting design and (dare I say it) start the laundry room renovation. It never ends. Plans to install bead board in the LR and a built in ironing board, storage cabinets, etc.

Also, need to re-locate the flat panel TV plug and cable connector in the kitchen to hide the wires behind the TV hanging on the wall. Busy weekend but should be fun.

Ah, the first full weekend of October. I miss my ballooning days. I grew up in Albuquerque, and I usually took off the whole week and worked on various balloon crews from about 1985 until 2000 (even though I moved to California in 1991). I missed the 2001 Fiesta due to a broken back, and now that I'm healthy enough to crew again, the people who I've crewed for the most are no longer participating in the Fiesta. (I've worked on the Famous Footwear shoe, the Viewsonic monitor, the polar bear, the bald eagle, and the Ray-O-Vac battery, to name a few.) I miss this time of year in ABQ. Good luck in your sales, Nancy.

This weekend in Cali looks like it'll be mostly chores, but I do have some flatwork and lathe projects on the short list that I intend to get started this weekend, too.

Howdy Karl,

It's all about working for the day job this weekend. OnCall and it's going to be a rough one this weekend since the weekend worker is off on vacation this weekend....so I get it all to myself day and night this weekend!!!!!

May everyone have a great weekend because mines not going to be the least bit fun.

I started on my first HF last Sunday evening. I've turned a little more on it a couple nights this week and have had it thrown from the chuck twice now. Incredibly, it's still in one piece and I was able to turn away a big gouge I cut into it. So, tomorrow I'll either finish it up or screw it up we'll see. I'm kind of in a mood to turn another NE as well, as I just got a "Texas center" for my Talon chuck today and am ready to try it out.

As much as I hate cleaning up, I've got to set aside some time for that this weekend.
