My daughter and I are starting to dabble in some basic woodworking, and are currently building out our workspace in half of our 2-car garage (the other half is bikes and music gear). I have a compact router currently on the way to me that will be mounted under a piece of 3/4" ply that can be dropped into my portable table saw table. I might need a bigger in the future, but for now this should be useful for simple stuff.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, THAT kinda router.
I was thinking

Mrs. GeneJockey thought this woodworking experience should make it a snap for me to make cabinets for the kitchen.

Speaking of electronics, I'm thinking of adding a bluetooth receiver/transmitter to my 35-year-old stereo. I'll be sure to check back with the group, to see if I got the right equipment, after I purchase it.

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s, I was building selfbows - that's a bow made from either a single stave, or joined billets. I did it all with hand tools, though many more affluent selfbowyers use bandsaws for reducing the stave to shape.

When I was picking up the Litespeed on Saturday, I talked with the LBS owner about wheelbuilding. I mentioned my hesitation because of the expense of the proper tools and all. He said I should go ahead and build them up, do as good a job as I could and then bring them in and he'd check/adjust the spoke tension and trueness. I suspect some of that depends on sourcing parts from him, which is eminently reasonable.

I got one of those clickbait-y WebMD emails - "How to have the best sex of your life!", so I have to share this joke:
A middle aged housewife sees an article in Cosmo - "How to supercharge your sex life!" She reads it, and prepares things for when her husband comes home from work.
She greets him at the door, and asks, "Would you like to have Super Sex?"
And he answers, "What kind of soup?"
(We refer to this joke so often in my family that The Younger Boy now crosses his arms across his chest a la Black Panther and says, "Wakanda Soup?")

I'd like to get a CD ripper/player to store and play my CDs. Right now, they sit in boxes in storage.

I refuse to call out hazards. That's what I hate about group rides. The cacaphony of calling out hazards, car back, hold your line, and on and on.

Some groups are really obnoxious with that, but we mostly just point. We'll occasionally call out a car back if we're fanned out.
