Independance Day
Happy 4th of July to all my friends next door. Hope your having a great time! The weather has warmed up a bit. We haven't had to light a fire for a few days now. It's been really interesting this year to watch the progression of wild flowers. Now were in the Scentless Chamomile(Matricaria maritima) phase- which is often mistaken for Shasta Daisies . It looks like we've woken to snow in the far fields. The wild roses are in full bloom: I have been trying to fit some "fun" projects into the mix. Like getting a table saw rebuilt. I had one given to me that was left out in the rain. It ran, has a great 2 h.p. motor but it was pretty much rusted shut. I am restoring it to better than factory condition. I tore it all down, cleaned up all the rust and old gunked up trunnions and am polishing and repainting everything before I bolt it all back together. When I am done I should have a pretty handy addition to the shop. I am working with a minuscule table saw now ...
