Woo hoo - my walnut magnetic knife bar is getting close! I got the keyholes cut (for hanging without visible hardware), surfaces are planed and ready for finish and I got the epoxy poured over the magnets. When the epoxy is fully set tomorrow, I'll be able to get some layers of finish on it.

What are you going to finish it with?

This was my biggest quarantine project: new floors throughout the whole basement.

In other news, the chat last week about knives, combined with an 8-hour meeting today (vomit) inspired me to do a full natural-stone sharpening on the gyuto I use for pineapple. Thai stones instead of Japanese - binsui and then a Khao Men. With its intended use I didn’t bother finishing with the Hideriyama. After a careful hour+ it’s still sharp enough to shave off a single ridge of fingerprint.
WhyFi, in case the tagging works.

I wonder if we're going to get a Open AZ spike in cases. Still way to early to tell, so I'd be tempted to put in for LOA regardless of mask policy.
It might not be bad, like if customers only slowly start to trickle back in. Or they might line up outside opening day.

I love all the people I see on FB saying “it only kills the elderly or people with underlying conditions”. As if my grandmother or father just don’t matter. Or theirs.

Carrot skins taste yucky.
What about the dirt?

We had to make a tough tangentially Covid related decision recently. My wife has been in a couple of Chief Analytics Officer roles over the past 10ish years. Last year, the toll it took on her was just too much so she decided to leave her career and begin to study for law school with an eye toward specializing in elder law. She studied for, took her LSATs, did well and was looking at the prospect of getting significant scholarships from the schools she was applying to.
Because of the uncertainty in what is happening right now, we decided to put going to school off a year. She doesn’t want to do this type of education online and doesn’t want to face the prospect of getting sick while away with nobody nearby to take care of her. The inverse is also true.
She’s devastated, me too because it’s something she worked so hard for and took a huge risk to pursue.
Now she’s going to back to work for a year- probably doing some consulting with a friend of hours.
It’s a bummer.
