Well, the weather has made a turn for the cold. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, it is after all November. Man, where have the last 2 months gone…

Progress on the Rapier 2.0 has come to halt until I can make some working room in my shop, looks like I’ve got some serious cleaning to do . While moving the 2.0 into the garage, I thought to myself, this would be a great time to insulate the ceiling, it is after all, starting to get really chilly!

So… aside from some serious cleaning, I’ve spent the last 2 days stapling bats of pink joy to my shop ceiling. This stuff really sucks, but it will sure be nice to have a toasty warm shop in the thick of winter. If I finish this quickly enough and I’m still feeling motivated, I may even drywall the ceiling and hang all my new shop lights. So much to do, so little time.

The Rapier makes a really great insulating table.

Today was my birthday, Hmmm 36, not sure how I feel about that yet.

The day started out pretty great, first, I got to sleep in for a bit, then Liz made my favorite breakfast and after that, she was kind enough to give me a few hours of kid free silence as I puttered around the garage and clean up some lingering Vespa debris. We had dinner at a great little restaurant downtown called the Tin Angel Cafe and I had, by far, one of the best tenderloins I think I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was AMAZING!

After dinner, we met at my folks house for cake and presents. As we arrived, the kids were watching Young Frankenstein with my parents. There’s nothing better than hearing your 5yr old daughter repeating, “his name is Dr. FRAWNK-en-STEEEN or Frankenstein”, in her little munchkin voice. I had forgotten how much I liked that movie.

I’m pretty excited about the presents that I received. The kids got me a fun Fedora hat and Liz and my parents got me a sandblasting cabinet for the garage, cant wait to use this on some Rapier bits.
