I have an electric over manual that I have used several times as a manual. Been too lazy / busy / you name it. To hook the cables up. I see a happy back in your future!
What's in the mail?

That's happened to Betty and I many times. They do fix it but kind of a bummer waiting for it all over again.
Getting the replacement order placed was easy but it took me a bit to figure how to contact someone to tell them the package was actually empty. There is no box to check for "you sent me air". The automatic selections wanted the non-existent calipers returned or they would charge my credit card for them. Finally got it sorted.
That’s better!
Nice looking...but am concerned; the scale looks a little funny to me...........
Got a package today - thought it was wood - but found this instead. This may be better than wood - Thank you @Eric Rorabaugh!
Sandpaper and a new gouge. Opening Friday.

It's just cardboard boxes, nothing to see here........
Gouge and some of the sandpaper is for my student. He will be here Saturday not Friday and he can open the boxes. I,ll take a pic then.
Bought two motion sensor outdoor lights to put in the back. Maybe a light suddenly coming on will cause those pesky deer to move on. I'll try to install them tomorrow without curling my hair.
until they get used to it!
Funny you said that. I just finished a book entitled "Fuzz" by Mary Roach. It's about efforts people take when animals violate the 'rules'. She writes about deer, bears, birds, etc that become trash robbers, thieves, etc. In most cases, the mitigation efforts are effective only until the animals get used to it and realize it causes them no harm. I'll keep my sling shot and little can of rounded stones handy. That seems to work every time.
You'll put your eye out kid!
I spent about 4 months working from home in 2020, worst year we ever had for chipmunks. They figured out that a pellet rifle DID cause injury--so they started digging tunnels to just below the bird feeders so they didn't have to move across the surface. And when i say just below the feeders--you could drop a plumb bob from the rims of the feeders into a doorway!! How they learn that from their deceased relatives concerned me to the point of no longer watching the Walking Dead!! Two years later and i'm feeling like Carl Spackler!!
Ok, I had to look up who Carl Spackler is. - I was never a part of the cool crowd that knew stuff like that!
The last two years have been the worst for chipmunks for me. It's because I upped my game in feeding the birds I'm sure. But watching them gives me a lot of joy. Couple the chippies with the moles and I have to say, my yard is well aerated! Now something is rooting around in parts of the yard. I'll have to put out a game camera to see if I also have an armadillo. Have never seen a live one near the neighborhood, but quite a few road dead!

Believe me, it was more like the cool nerds who knew stuff like that. The really cool kids didn't need tricked-out factoids to be cool!!
Good luck with the critters!! First time i saw an armadillo in the wild was in Hill Country--curled up outside the tent door at sunrise. This carpetbagger almost headed back north that morning!!

So that's all it takes!! Hmmmm
Chipmunks, aka timber tigers, are the ninja pickpockets of the animal world. On that float trip, we knew they were around, we knew they stole food, we took precautions, and I still had a little bugger steal an entire cookie from off a rock right under my knee, less than an inch away from my skin. And I never saw it! The cookie probably weighed as much as that chipmunk and it still ran off with it.
And update: got my motion sensor lights installed and just went out to see if they work and check the sensitivity of the motion sensors. Looking good!

Here ‘tis. Sandpaper from The Sanding Glove and a 3/8 bowl gouge from Craft Supplies USA. Also, in the mail was 21 pairs of underwear. Feel a need to do that every ten years. Photos on request.
No thank you on the pics!!! This is one time "no pics, it didn't happen" doesn't need to happen!
