Always a lot going on..

I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

I have been building my tool collection lately. I have had this cool 4 inch (cute) Delta Rockwell 37-290 jointer around for awhile. I bought it at auction a number of years ago. Interestingly, there is a lot of information/following on the web. Mine is now ready for production in my shop. I decided to leave the paint on the tool-head as-is. Rewired, sharpened and trued up, it is a welcome addition to my shop to add precision. I was going to add a 1.5 HP motor and/or change the pulleys. Not necessary. The only technology add is with the wiring and the power-twist v-belt to reduce vibration.
