New winter Maslow shop is between accepted offer and closing. Mrs Moose went for a pool and attached 2 car garage rather than a big shop, but there’s space to build something.

Hope to check out the SWFL Woodturners as soon as our schedules coincide.

Squeakie is now playing with her toes, the wimmenfolk think that’s a big deal. Might still be a while before she learns to solder

Ow, they also intentionally break stuff so i have something to fix, “daddy fix” kinda cute and annoying :smile:
