My family are so enthusiastic about church right now they all love church and I think it’s all down to Mom and I love supporting all of them. I sat there this morning listening to what they all got up to in Hugary on their mission trip and it made me feel proud of all three of them, giving their time to help others.

With Mom training to be a pastor, Reagan on stage singing in the worship group and Lincoln drumming and running the sound desk they are all over it and it’s great to be there to witness it!

Spent the whole day fitting out the inside of my shed extension, the delivery of 2 x 9mm plywood sheets and a sheet of 50mm foil backed insulation  meant I could get cracking.

8 x 4 sheets used to be time consuming to rip down but having seen r kid use his track saw a few weeks back and how easy it was I went out and bought myself one. I couldn’t justify buy the Festool he owns but watching lots and lots of videos on YouTube  i settled on the Makita SP6000J reputed to be the best tracksaw not a Festool.

Every time I use it, it just makes every job so much easier and frustrates me that I did not buy one sooner.  Today’s work was not only easier and faster but it is so much more accurate than I have done in the past.

Its just a great tool, the best I own.

I intend to make a couple of tweaks in the coming weeks to make it perfect which entails replacing the splinter guards on all the tracks and adjusting the blade to run a couple of millimeters further away from the track and then recalibrating the new splinter guard.

The other thing is to buy a depth gauge sold buy a woodworkerr I watched on YouTube “Strawbyte Workshop” who 3D prints a really good addition that mimics the standard Festool depth guage

Doing both of these mods would likely make it even better than it already is but neither are necessary as it is already near perfect.

Always around this time of year I always watch documentaries about 9/11 and this year I watched a very interesting one called “The most important 9/11 documentary”

A real-life documentary following the events of Sept. 11 from an insider’s view, through the lens of James Hanlon and two French filmmakers, Gédéon and Jules Naudet, who were in Manhattan that one day.

I am just fascinated by how people reacted in the moment, not knowing what we know now and each year I just put on anything I can find

As I sit here 4 days into a month long alcohol sabbatical I have just come in from me shed having installed all the 50mm insulation i have left from adding the walls to my shed at the far end that I had intended to be a bar, when every one post COVID wanted a bar in the garden.

Extending my shed is just the obvious and right thing to do considering I spend so much time in there and I am always short of space.

The reason I wanted to do it tonight was so I knew how much I need to finish insulating the walls floor and ceiling so I can order the rest tomorrow. The main thing is I have the floor ready to permanently install but need to add insulation first.

The ADHD in me though is now thinking how I am going to utilise all this extra space and all the projects I have look forward to over the winter

Walking and talking: We started the year intending to walk together every morning and today, the 3rd September we still walking and talking and we have not missed many

Coffee and breakfast: The coffee Brewer we bought is used every day, and we love it. Kirkland coffee is what we drink right now and usually we get back from our walk with plenty of time before work at 9 to enjoy breakfast together.

School first day photos and absolute must as this is Reagans last first day at school and even though it was raining both kids embraced the tradition

Woodworking shed extension: Spent the day in between working thinking about getting the floor joists installed and how to get them solid  splinter guard

NFL and my passion The Broncos spent an hour in the bath watching Sean Peyton interviews since the season starts tomorrow and the Broncos play on Sunday at 9:05

Throughout all the above I can be all over the place in my head never really able to concentrate on anything for a long time ooo am I ADHD?

If I show a chink in my armour….

EVERY day I doubt myself

I doubt EVERY choice I make

The only thing I am sure of…

Tough tonight techy wanted one didn’t though, chose water.

She obviously doesn’t, but how can this person be better than me? I have always wanted to be her but I now realise I could never achieve that status. She needs to be brought down to my level because it feels easier to rise up to her level

How can she possibly be right all the time? I know what’s best for me.

Reagan will learn that experience is everything and you have to gain it overtime, you can not tell someone it will burn them, until they know what burn means! Mom’s advice and guidance comes from her experiences and knowing the consequences, but until you make the mistake yourself, you can’t realise how right she was.

“Reagan doesn’t listen”

She listens whether you think it or not, you may not realise all that advice and guidance is leading it the best direction you could possibly imagine, it just won’t become apparent in a flash it will be years from now when we are old and able to reflect.

People say these are the difficult years but imagine if we’d been lazy for the last 15 how difficult it would be. We just need to carry on doing what we have been doing every single day since she was born, and she will become the woman we dreamed she she would be!

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be,”

Well, we should always try to hold her to higher standards than she currently attains just to keep her on the right path until she gains the experience to realise, you were right all along.

All I want, is you!

My life revolves around you!

Everything’s fine in our world because of you…
