I try not to wallow in filth, but my furnace filter is disgusting.
Here is the old filter next to a new filter.

This is how far I got with the aux driveway yesterday. I will finish this section and the pad next to the garage if we get another couple of warm days.
I told Sparky to stay off of the new sealer. There may be blobs or extra thick spots that aren’t completely dry yet. Sparky got a little salty.

Sparky got a car ride as I hitched up the camper, and moved it back 30 feet off of the aux. driveway. It was barely a car ride, but Sparky didn’t seem to know the difference. After that, Sparky got to spend the day outside as I edged and scrubbed the driveway.
A week ago, it looked like I’d be able to seal the driveway, before the weather turned too cold. I need two warm days, but it may be too late in the year.

My biggest fear is that Google is going to serve me an ad showing that Wayfair sells a headboard just like this for a hundred bucks.

While working on the headboard, I had a brainstorm for a new invention using materials on hand. Sparky tried it out, and is eager to use it next time we go camping.

Do normal people have headboards to keep their stuff in?
I had one as a kid, and liked it. It’s time I had another one, so started building it. I’m on the polyurethane stage of the game.
“But Uncle, that just looks like a bunch of pallets stapled together.”

Clean as a whistle, even before it was swept.
If I put Sparky in the stove, I could get a really cute photo of him looking up the chimney flue.
I’m not going to do that, but I do want to try.

I just finished the second phase of getting a dental implant.
When he was done, Dr. Morgan showed off the torque wrench he used to set the post in my jawbone. He really likes this torque wrench because it doesn’t need to be calibrated for at least a 100,000 cycles.
I like that Dr. Morgan understands his tools and appreciates quality.
