Today, for the first time in approximately 10 weeks, I was able to attend a community ecclesiastical function. It was absolutely blessed!
I cut the lawn using my riding lawnmower. It does have a modified LED headlight (Lawnmower LED Light Bulb), but that should still count, right? In the middle of winter with the cold and snow, I always think about how nice it will be again in the summer cutting the lawn. Itās very relaxing and the fresh cut grass smells so good.
Itās even more enjoyable since I used to have a walk behind lawnmower and cutting the lawn was such a chore. Itās still a lot of work every other time with trimming and blowing, but itās so much less work and quicker now.
Thanks, MoreLumens. I enjoy seeing the pictures.
How far north are those images? What altitude? The tree size reminds me of what I might see here if I went above 10,000 feet (3000 m) altitude. Iām at about 35 degrees north. The images I posted are nearby at about 8800 feet (2680 m). Of course, the seasonal hours of sunlight difference help to confuse growth too.
Do you get much precipitation? We get an annual average of 19ā (45 cm). But that seems to be becoming less over time.
Washed, sealed, and waxed my car. Then a thorough interior detailing. Ready for the summer weather.
I use Meguiarās sealant and wax products. For the exterior black trim, tires, interior panels and dash I use Aerospace 303 spray. For the seating surfaces I use Meguiarās leather conditioner and cleaner.
I like more lumens pics of the treasure he found ...imagine finding a perfectly good garret metal detector . that's a good find .
Nothing new, the same old thing sort of day. 
I love walking the woods later in the day like this when it is overcast and there are no harsh shadows. Earlier there was some rain. Now it is quiet, just a hint of a breeze that comes and goes. Peaceful. Unlike what amounts to the so-called civilized sections of our world.
I dug out an old game camera today. Hopefully, Iāll have some elk images to share in a day or three.
Sometimes I do have to work at various things up here. A little manual labour on a fire access road
piece of roadā¦
I completed a small wooden box, approx 5.25 x 3.125 x 2 inches (135mm x 80mm x 50mm). Five types of wood with purpleheart being the main wood. Not too fancy, not perfect but it was fun to make and will be a surprise gift.
Kewl, looks nice!
Whaddya do wittit?
ādoā ??
Put stuff in it. 
Well, a shoebox could fill that function.
Medal? Diorama? Bronzed baby-shoes? Shrunken-head?
For me, it was an exercise in edge gluing up some 3/4ā stock and then ripping it down the center to make 2 slabs about 1/4ā thick. Each slab was cut it an end and a side. After a bit more work I had a box. Sorta pretty, but without any distinct purpose.
It did help me hit on an idea for a future project; something similar that would incorporate some low power LEDāsā¦
I cut and hauled a pick-up load of firewood. Seems to be something instinctual about getting firewood in the fallākinda like a squirrel gathering nuts or cones I guess. I have at least enough for the next 3 years piled up now but for a firewooder, there is no such thing as āenoughā. Gotta keep hauling until the snow gets too deep. Just canāt help myself. 
Wellp, it shore is purty!
Thank you.
Shopping for a new sewing box (mine`s all in large tin cans at the moment) and finaly settled on a nice wooden cantilever case that`s just perfect! also spent some time getting a few new colors of embroidery thread
I have only done the following not very fun non-flashlight activities today:
1. drove into city to routine dentist appointment (first in a long time)
2. called Internal Revenue Service several times to try to find out why I have not received my tax refund (much time pressing numbers on phone and waiting for agent)
Thatās a great looking box ! :+1:
A nice, happy puppy returned narrative:
Half an hour ago, I was on my first leg of my daily six mile walk, a nice elderly gentleman at 223 Chestnut approached me to ask me if I had seen his lost tan short hair puppy; he told me he is asking me because he knows I frequent this area daily. I said no, but I asked him for his phone number, because I walk this route frequently. I wrote his number on my hand, and I proceeded half a mile, and a group of people at Marios' house on Cederwood approached me from the other side of the street, with a small dog cradled in arm, and ask me if I know whose dog this is; they are asking me, because they know I frquent the area daily. I gave them the address and phone number, they get in their car to return the dog to its owners house.
Nice, happy feeling. :)
