Chore-laden Ksquared ...

Are you a little down right now?

After a few days of being out of my regular routine, I'm a little out of the loop more than anything. Monday morning should fix that. :) Actually, since I retired, Sunday morning is a favorite time of the week because I have some social activity with a singles group at the church I attend, but the remainder of the day can become a bit of a drag before Monday arrives.

My trip was just a periodic family visit with my 90-year-old mother and two brothers. I flew down and didn't take my camera equipment, so didn't get a shot of the birds. The parrots are pretty much a solid green.

I have 3" deck screws / .... if you can manage to get them in without stripping the threads

I generally use 1-5/8" screws for fastening 3/4" lumber and sometimes have to pre-drill a hole when the screw is a little stubborn, particularly going into treated pine. I can imagine that 3" screws could be a challenge.

As for the weather, I also hope that it clears up this week. Next weekend I'm going in the opposite direction, driving to the Fort Worth area for a family wedding. Another reminder that time is passing quickly and a child is suddenly an adult getting hitched.

Justin, time passing him by
