Today's #oddBunch arrived. Just one apple? Hmm. A nice good bag of green beans. I substituted limes for potatoes, and peppers for broccoli, so that worked out nicely. Good value again anyway.
What are the brown things in the paper bag? Maybe lychees? I thought they were red usually. Unsure. Anyone know?
@GustavinoBevilacqua Ha! Sounds like an event worthy of a warning. lol
Snowy day! But not much accumulation yet. At this frosty temperature (-13C) the flakes are pretty small and dry, so it'll build slowly.
I see MerrySky is still saying 13cm, but the EnviroCanada forecast is now saying "20 to 35 cm" and issued an "orange warning."
@GustavinoBevilacqua yes, got a spot planned for two of them, and the old laminate desk top I'm re-using has two convenient knockouts with covers at the corners for cords. Should be nicely convenient. 
"Squish-out" โ something you love to see in cookies and woodworking/joinery, but not so much in subways and tailor shops.
Doing some glue-ups and it's gone pretty well today. A bit more cutting and assembly tomorrow and hopefully finishing this secondary workbench build.
After sketching for a few days, I guess I actually have to make some sawdust.
Putting together yet another workbench. This one for a corner of the garage, with some wheels and suitably designed to be level with the table-saw height for occasional alternative use.
@GustavinoBevilacqua Will check the under side for travel stickers. 
The high winds last week(?) stole our compost-bin lid. We searched in the snow, but found nothing. I was ready to make a new one from scrap wood this morning; measurements made yesterday.
But the weather taketh, and the weather giveth again. The thaw and rain turned up the missing lid somewhere we hadn't looked and, praise the thermometer, it's one less job this morning.
An afternoon of pie making culminates with a cod and salmon pie just hot out of the oven.
