Started on a very narrow hall table build today. Many rectangles and yes I lost track of orientation and cut a bunch of rabbets on the wrong sides so now I have almost exclusively left sides. Tomorrow is repairs I guess.

I did a surfing during a work onsite. When your CEO is a surfer/lifeguard, this is how you achieve "culture fit".

For a less famous album I recommend "Sonny Rollins on Impulse". This has a label on it as disc 50 in my collection of what would eventually grow to nearly 1000 CDs.
The CD held showing a cover photo of Sonny in profile. Background is the Sonny Rollins section of my CD library.

Using my new-to-me drill press for the first time. It has frickin' laser beams! Feels so good to have a shop with everything I need to finally do projects properly and not be digging out from a woefully inadequate setup in some dark cold driveway.
Drill press pointed at some plywood. It has its own LED light plus the shop light is very bright and frickin' laser beams for targeting. To the right a blower is pointed at the bit continuously clearing sawdust.

Ended up doing a fresh arch install on my main thinkpad. Made it 8 years rolling releases so no complaints. Got me a fresh live install drive too

5 cabinets built, fit tested, and ready for glue up. Project is in fact much longer and more difficult than I thought (but admittedly I mostly thought "that's a clever design" and not so much "how many days of vacation will I just be cutting drawer slots").

The author of these build plans did not, I repeat, did not indicate anywhere that when all totaled up this project needs 450 holes drilled.

Is that an obsessively optimized set of essential everyday carry gear in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
