@J0hnADouglas Honestly, I find these guys to be incredibly genuine. Maybe I'm afflicted with hometown bias since they're based in my area. But, my wife and I have enjoyed them for years.

In retrospect, maybe letting a couple of bitter Trekkies tell us what was bad about Star Wars wasn’t a good idea.

Amen

@BookstoreThor @JesssCR3 Amen

@JesssCR3 We live in a fallen world. Sometimes, all we have is hope. Better days are coming.

Sometimes this life is sad

Looking forward to this!

@J0hnADouglas Hey man, im excited!

And with that, final edits of The Lionheart are done. Sending the book back to my editor for one last read through. Next up, cover reveal! Stay tuned.

Picked up a bunch of free wood over the weekend. 🎊 resawing with the hand tools is totally possible... but I am wishing I had a band saw.

@James32980438 "have zero effs left to give" heh... I'm keeping my last 2 for a good cause.

Ah, so I don't qualify for "Elder Millennial" because damn do I feel so very old. Also, I have never and will never get "gangsta" or by extension get "jiggy with it".

@petersteele birthday celebration plus a physical reminder of age. lol seems poetic. heal up quick and happy birthday.

Had a good weekend. Spent friday and Saturday with the family for my bday. Went bowling yesterday, on the 10th frame, biffed it right onto my bad knee. Swole right up and hard to bend or walk now. Other than that, great weekend with the family.

Started the desk build. Simple tools making simple furniture using techniques that have existed for hundreds of years. I love it.

@J0hnADouglas 🙏

My turn to ask folks who pray to pray for me. For once I could use some. Much appreciated. God bless

This is pretty epic.

@James32980438 For sure.

@quakkels I think most of us have something like that in our lives.

Quite annoying to be constantly working on something and never getting any better.

@ChoochSkookum Color me jealous.

I think im gonna get this grizzled lathe as an upgrade from my hazard fraught™️ bauer lathe.

@WIclassic 😆 I do not understand how people wouldn't press red and evangelize pressing red to everyone they can!

Just sayin'

I'm late to the Red vs Blue Button philosphical trend on X But I'd press the red button, and evangelize pressing red to everyone I can. It's the only option that's certain. Blue is a gamble, and nothing is keeping anyone from pressing Red. (am I doing this right?)

@nihiofkdi @RetroCoast 😂

@RetroCoast With intense scrutiny I think I may have stumbled across at least a small part of a clue as to its function.

Who knows what this strange device is?

@James32980438 Honestly, I admire your dancing abilities. I took a dance class for a few weeks with my wife before our wedding, and definitely still had two left feet on the wedding day. Sounds like you're on a completely different level.

@quakkels I'm really keeping my priorities straight, right?

Like the entire thing or just part of it? Because she needs her left arm to maintain dance frame. We could probably make it work of it's just hand/forearm, but the whole thing? Difficult decision.
