Hey guys, got a little rain last night, been damp feeling all day, but not cold at all. That's supposed to change overnight, mid 50s today, low 30s for highs tomorrow. Maybe even a little snow.

Only having the locals here tomorrow. The two KC bunches are doing their own things, too far to come I guess.

Was overcast here today too, sun in and out. We went to next town to fix the old motorhome of our electrician's son, they need to sell it. Needs a new neutral safety switch. I'm negotiating with the old man as we need a new 3ton heat pump thing. I have electric. He has a complete package, an old unit from a local church, not used much - it's gas. For $350 for all of it plus his install will run me about 1000. I think I'm in. We don't use it much either, and gas for us will be cheaper to run when we do need it.
We also decided to flea market after that and hit the local Abilities Unlimited and I saw an MCM dinette - upon closer inspection, it's a 1965 Heywood Wakefield. 6 chairs, table with 3 leaves. Table top needs redone, one chair needs a repair. It lists for $5k on Charish.com, which I know is overpriced but heck, I paid $70 for ALL of it. I have a big double pedestal chunky set (6ft expands to 8, 6 chairs) I think I'll sell and use this more streamlined set. Same amount of seats and don't take up near as much room. Bless Arron and my shenanigans. We took chairs home, then all the way back for table top, then another 40 mins to the next town so he could eat Italian and then shopped more and came home. I don't know how to refinish a table top but I reckon I'm bout to learn.

This is the set on Charish.com

Always try to identify the old finish first. Try denatured alcohol on that top. Soak a rag and rub those areas. I doubt that the finish is shellac, but the milky surface, kind of, looks the way shellac does when it gets soaked. The alcohol, if the finish is shellac, will take it off. More than likely though, it will probably be lacquer. If the alcohol doesn't do anything, try some lacquer thinner. That should remove nearly any vintage finish Remove the finish before trying to sand the water stains out.
