Motor City Madman

Ted Nugent was at the Reading Sport show last night. Got to hear his rant (video to come), see him play the Star Spangled Banner, and he signed my NRA card. Cool dude!

Ted plays our National Anthem

Sunroom 99% complete

Got all the cabinets in and painted. Just have to hook up the electrical for the lights under the top cabinet and also in the top cabinet. I cut out the panels on the doors using a router from the back and will get some glass this week for them as well as a glass shelf to replace the wood one. Also need to build a box under the bench to hide the foam insulation.

Old Movies from the Far East !

Following is a brief clip from Grandmom Adelaides home movies recovered and converted to DVD by Dad Rumbold. They are from the 1930's when Grandmom and Grandpa Jack were stationed in Sumatra.

The opening shot is Lake Toba, then to the rubber plantation at Kisarin.

The bicycling was in front of their home at Benoit.

Enjoy!

Dorinda's grandfather

He had another heart procedure at UPenn yesterday and is doing well. It was supposed to be a mitrial valve replacement after the repair last spring, but the surgeon noticed that 2 of the sutures on the repair were failed and at his age (82?) instead of go ahead with the replacement the Dr. just repaired the sutures and has 100% confidence. Less invasive that way and hopefully a quicker recovery.

New Cabinets

I bought these unfinished oak cabinets at Lowes for about $450. I have to get some more beadboard for over top of the counter, cut the countertop and then Dorinda is going to do an antique black paint finish. Oh and I have to figure out how to support the bench so I can get rid of that 2x4- there was lack of studs in that wall to support on that side....

I also added the light fixture above the bench and moved the outlet above the counter.
