GOT UP BEFORE DAYLIGHT---

CLEAR, AND COLDISH IN THE NATIONS, WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE.
THEY SAY IT WILL HIT 70; THE CHEROKEES WOULD LIKE THAT. GOT AN INCH AND A QUARTER RAIN YESTERDAY.

AUTO ROTATION DAY, THE TOMATO GOES IN THE READY RACK. I'LL HAVE TO RESET THE TIME IN ALL THE CARS, WHICH MEANS DIGGING OUT THE OWNER'S MANUALS. THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT, OF COURSE.

Mornin.

Slept till 07:45 so that means I got up at my normal time.

Rant: Package delivery. Well meaning package drivers place the packages over my fence. Unfortunately sometimes they drop it near the track of my front gate in an area you really can't see from a vehicle when backing in or pulling out. Three times the packages got jammed by the gate. Yesterdays was particularly annoying. The gate threw the chain at the opener motor, jumped off the track and got completely out of alignment resulting in it snapping off the gate stop. Through patience and perseverance I got it all back into working order. The dogs could once again romp and roam in the front yard. I keep them out of the backyard because they like to kill anything that moves. (Birds, squirrels, lizards and such.) There are more of those out back than there are in the front.

Lost another friend. Died in February and I just read about it in the local paper. He was 74.

I woke up, so I have a chance at having a great day.

Hey guys, Up early and off to church. Then home and took the Caddy out to have new tires put on. Back to the shop to work on the cremation remains boxes for Marc. Going to meet him part way between here and there Wednesday to deliver them.

Cool, cloudy and damp again this morning.

Tom, pic of cremation remains box? I could maybe use one for me and one for Sue. You know. Be prepared like a good boy scout. Approximate price per box. One for a man and one for a woman. Sue's name is Rose Rose (Shoshana Rose). Is Rosewood available? Not in a hurry. (I hope) I like Walnut or Maple. Are they bigger than a breadbox? Just kidding.

I'll get some pictures of these once I'm done. Rosewood? AH, yea I think I can still get some......not cheap though, but, not talking a huge amount of it in these boxes basically they say a cubic inch/pound...The ones I'm making for Marc are 270 cubic inches each, more than big enough for the remains for his mom and step father.

Style can be different than what I'm doing with these.

Oh, the ones I'm doing are 7 x 10 x 5 3/4" on the outside. Carving initials in the top and name, BD and DofD on the front....and WWII vet on the side.
