New Ride!!

So, a good friend sold me his car he's getting rid of. I did a bunch of work to make it look purdy again. . Here's some pictures.

Found a Queen

This was an interesting find today. I had the drippings left over from extracting honey. The stuff that comes from the was you get decapping. This lady flew right in and got herself stuck. This late in the year there is little chance that she's a viable queen. Most likely unfertilized and pretty much doomed. However, I let her loose on a empty box that I've been letting the local wild bees clean out for me on the back deck. Maybe she'll find something to do there or follow some bees home or something. I dunno.

What I've been up to

Just a couple pictures about what I've been up to recently.

Did some stairs work today

Finally got the stain and the poly on the stairs (2 coats done)

Hummus and more

more hummus that is!

Kewaunee Vacation?

Well it wasn't all vacation but I did get quite a few pictures taken.

Geneva and Mom up on the foredeck













A wind farm from far out at 300mm. We were about 3 miles away from the farm, this was the best shot I could get from the water.

Working in the Kitchen

Anna and I have been doing some house repair recently. We repainted the kitchen ceiling after pulling out a few cabinets and put up a stainless steel dish rack for drying dishes where those cabinets were. Then we started the big job. . . Stripping, staining and polying the cabinets. Here's a shot of the stained bottom cabinets before the poly went on.
