Day 164: Slow morning, no surprise... Lawson saw an ad for Vector cereal the other day and needed to have some to support his active life style... he needs to eat healthy you know, so he can preform his best on the ice. OK so we bought him some, Heather poured him a bowl full this morning, asked if he wanted some brown sugar on it... nope, he didn't want anything to do with extra sugar, that's not healthy... good lord, and it starts. We had some pancakes, healthy be damned, it's Saturday morning... pancakes, bacon and coffee... because that's they way we roll. I gave the neighbourhood a break this morning, no planer in the driveway. The boy and I cued up a game of BTD6 and played a Co-Op game of helicopters only, he got bored and started adding in non attacking support towers, I held to the plan, he got more bored with the choppers and support towers and added in airplanes justifying it with they fly like helicopters so they should be allowed as well... I stuck to the helicopters... eventually he needed to go to the bathroom... while he was there we died... maybe I got bored too... LOL Heather baked some buns and we had tuna samiches for lunch. Afterwards I went bake out to the driveway to finish up those wood bits... this is hard on my OCD thing... I want them to all be the same, truth of the matter is the tops and bottoms don't need to be the same thickness, just have a decent side to glue the edges too... The thickness planer eventually over heated and I switched my focus on to another part of the project... making a sled for the tubing, don't ask. For this I got to use the lathe... it makes better circles than the table saw.  Heather called me in for dinner... She made BBQ chicken, home made BBQ sauce and yummy tasty Broccoli (how do you make the little barfy face emoji, I'm not even sure people are supposed to eat those little green tree things)... I went without broccoli and was ok with that. Took a break from the sled thing and watched a movie with Heather when boy headed off to bed. Some cheerleader/dance chick flick, you need to watch one every once in a while because after all they watched Rambo with you... remember? After the movie Heather crashed and I went back to the basement to work out a few more project X details... cut up the rest of the wood for the sled but the battery died on the screw gun, can't find the charger, it was likely a good place to stop. I will finish it up tomorrow and test it to see if it works. Going to sleep now... anymore work in the basement and I will likely cut a thumb off. Sleepy workers don't make good safety choices if you know what I mean.
