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.

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?
