The wife and I had a great vacation in Maine.
The actual travel to and from there stunk, but the people in Maine are some of the most hospitable I have encountered and made up for the long travel days.
I will post more when I have a chance and include some photos of what we saw on our excursion.

Not sure what to do to get off their dang mailing lists?
I've tried writing deceased across the front, this works sometimes. However one miscreant sold my address to a funeral home..LOL
So here is a link to some great advice...
This will get you removed from their mailing lists!
Pay backs are great! Don't ya think?

Ever need to calculate Board feet?
Calculate board feet the easy way. Just enter the dimensions of your lumber and the board foot calculator will do the rest.
No board foot conversion tables.
Tips on Calculating Board Feet:
- Board feet is a unit of wood volume measuring 144 cubic inches.
- The formula to calculate board feet is:
Board Feet = (length * width * thickness) / 144
- Hardwood lumber thickness is measured rough sawn. If you purchase 4/4 boards surfaced on both sides expect to see actual measurements closer to 13/16 rather than a full inch.
-If your lumber is already surfaced, calculate board feet on the rough thickness.
This great resource site also has links to:
Free plans.
Hand Tool Reviews.
Power Tool Reviews.
Wood working Q & A's.
and more.
Hope you find this site helpful..I did!

Had to share this......
Please read the entire post prior to passing judgement....
Sign in the Window
"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH ONE SINGLE AMERICAN"
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Philadelphia. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country would be marching on this business... and that the National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back.
But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors simply make their statement... We are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty, and after all, it is just a sign.
You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign?
Answer: A Funeral Home
(Who said morticians had no sense of humor?)
