Well, that stinks! Yesterday, I was proofing my post for today. There was a small error in how I wanted a picture and citation to look. Went to correct it and presto-change-o, the post disappeared. Tried undo. No help. Nothing, Nada, 없음. Suffice it to say a few bad words were uttered.
So...that is why the v2 is in the title.
This was where the error occurred. I'm not even sure why I had this photo in the post. But...

The picture is of The Big Week" of the Allied Bombing Raids on Germany in WWII. The caption I added said "No FW-190s going to be coming out of there for a while." But there was an HTML error in the positioning of the Source link. Tried to fix it and the Blogging Genies took offense and turned the comment to "Ain't No blog post coming out of here for a while."
So...There I was.
This is the Big Week in my little slice of Heaven for my family. Little J will be home for a couple of weeks. Gonna be great to see him again and while Mrs. J and I are very excited, I'm pretty sure LJW and Miss B are even more so.
As it should be.
They'll be starting the process to move to the UK this summer. All is on track (knock on wood) to get Miss B cleared to travel. There doesn't appear to be any medical problem stalling the approval, more like paper work and bureaucratic slow rolling.
No, Sarge, nothings changed since we left the military. May even be worse now.
In any case, it will be good to see them together. I'd also like to be a fly on the wall listening to his phone call to the folks in DC handling (or mishandling) the assignment.
So, on to a different, less blood pressure raising, subject. I've mentioned several times about the changes going on people wise in our little town. I'd gone to the supermarket a couple of days ago. OT, that is my form of entertainment. I pulled into a parking place and saw something interesting.
We've got a lot license plates from that state out west. They're coming here in droves. If you're one of them, could I offer a suggestion? When in a conversation, the words "When I lived in (you know where), this is how we did this. You should try it." should never, ever, ever leave your lips. As far as we're concerned, you're a refugee and while you may not have contributed to the screwed up situation, we don't want it to happen here.
Just sayin'
Back on target, juvat!
On Target, Aye, Sarge.
So, back to the license plate. A couple of things came to mind. 1) Did Sarge drive down to check out retirement locations? 2) Is this a refugee who's moving here? If so, welcome. Or is he/she an follower of the Electric Vehicle faith. If so, they are in for a difficult education. Texas is Big, recharging sessions for your car will be frequent and long. 3) I also wondered how long it took them to drive down here, distance and recharge rates being factors.
But that's just me.
On the woodworking front (AKA that activity which keeps me supposedly sane), Mrs. J decided we needed another end table in one of our Casseta's. So, we purchased one of those put together yourself kits. About $25 bucks, so if the guests play tackle with it, it's not that big a deal.
Went together fairly easily, doesn't wobble and puts out an very pleasant light. So...win/win.
Took about 15 minutes to construct. Which left me a bit more time to work on the ongoing Pikler Triangle project.
I'm now waiting for paint to dry and then final construction.
It'll be nice to finish as I've got several wood turning projects in my mind and the Birthday Week is coming up the first week in June.
So, got to get to work.
Peace out, y'all!
