Short one this week. I’ve tried to write this a couple times, but keep running out of time.
Look at the determination ⚾
Amanda and I started doing lunch dates out once a week while Charlie is at daycare since sitters are hard to get, and it has been great. We never have to make a reservation, we don’t have to worry about a sitter, and the company is still great.
Ups and downs with the garden. The radishes came in great, but something ate every single tomato and tomatillo plant we started from seed. I guess we’ll need to go buy some plants this week.
The griddle insert on the grill continues to get regular use.
Bike rides and walks with Charlie down by the Hudson. Some days you’ve got to run him until bedtime.
It was a tough week on the potty training front. Lots of poop accidents. Thankfully we are seeing signs of improvement yesterday and today.
I made some falernum and pizza on Friday. These two don’t go together except that I made them at the same time. This was the first pizza in the cast iron casserole pan. There will be more in the future! The dough was tasty, but I want it crispier on the bottom, which takes time and better oil distribution. Amanda wants it cheesier and less done.
The falernum is much better than the standard John Taylor’s Velvet Falernum. Notes here.
Mowed the lawn and got out the deck furniture Saturday morning, then attended two parties that afternoon. We are getting too old to do two parties back-to-back with a toddler.
I got some workshop time in on Sunday. I made more French cleat tool holders (screw drivers, C-clamps, planes, and hand saws), then drilled holes in my bench for the holdfasts. Next up is making bench dogs.
That’s about a wrap for French cleat tool holders I needed to make. I still need to make some for Shopsmith attachments, but I don’t know what I want to do with them yet. With these I’ve been able to clear off the bench, which was the goal.
Full detail post on the French cleats coming soon.
Charlie played outside while I worked in the shop.
