My routine is different now that we both retired. Some days, I feel industrious, rise early, and do things all-day. Other days, I take it easy, and see what I can do for my spouse. No end of things to do, and I may start keeping a log of what I want to accomplish. Prior to this, it's just been a mental list, but I may try a spreadsheet to see if formal organization of projects will result in a more-orderly approach, and completion rate.
Speaking of which, (organization of projects) a friend of mine, whose two brothers developed a software system for construction management, and who have been running the company, experiencing steady growth, just sold the company for a half-billion dollars! I don't know the brothers, but my friend is a hard-working family man, an entrepreneur in his own area, and he's done a lot for the community and for his field of work in his professional role.
So, I don't have a new router adaptation like Kay Mc. did for her table saw (a good-sized shop, and good work on the router adapter table extension) and that 4x4 wood roll-about table that GJ member Happy Camper IV made, a good design, makes me want to go use my table saw and RAS to scale something like that for an engine-build table for motorcycle work. Awhile ago I got a Handy-Lift for motorcycle work, just a fabulous addition, and it will save my poor aching back, though I haven't yet made a lot of use of it.
I did add some lighting to my small 2-car garage/shop. I added brackets off the angle irons for the high-lift garage door track (as 'high-lift' as it can be in a small residential garage, no room here for a 30' x 50' pole barn!) so I could suspend four four-foot FEIT LED shop lamps below the open doors, to light the area where I operate my Powermatic table saw, the floor model drill press and the Handy-Lift.
And, in a small improvement, I added a bronze bushing for my articulated magnifying lens, so it swivels much-better than just having the post seat in a hole drilled in a two-by block, that the illuminated magnifying lens sits-on, next-to the vise. Both the articulated illuminating lens and the vise are mounted to the same two-by, which is then C-clamped to the 3/16" steel-top 2'X8' workbench tabletop. If I ever needed-to, I can easily remove the vise/lens combo, for whatever project demands more room.
I liked Jim Von Baden's work on what looks-like a BMW boxer R1200 C, the one that James Bond/Pierce Brosnan drove with such skill, while the beautiful female agent was riding in-front of him, but backwards, across the roofs of was it Hong Kong? I've never seen that fairing design before, that'a a lot of lighting! I had an R100RT that I rode back & forth to graduate school here in FL, I always liked the torque of it, and the relative lightness of the boxer engine bikes. One of my friends, a commercial pilot, bought a R1200C when they first were released, and he liked it but he eventually traded it in for a BMW transverse-four K bike. Jim, is that true, your bike is the actual movie stunt bike?
I also need to re-program from scratch my Liftmaster 8500 Elite door overhead openers, as the remote-controlled light I added isn't shutting-off, and the short method of trying to re-program it didn't result in it's operation to shut-off after the programmed number of minutes it's supposed-to.
One of the things I did today that has prompted me to get to-work, is to read this thread. Plenty of good ideas, it's been awhile since I went through a few pages.
Hate cleaning snow off a car in the morning.
