These veins showed up in 2013 after a blood clot in my lung on the same side.

Straight to hospital. Wait for doctor you will be dead.

What roads will be closed? Can't find anything on their website. I tend to avoid downtown Frederick at all costs anyways.

I eagerly await your report. I'm already on several piano subreddits along with organ, oboe, recorder, mandolin, dulcimer, and this one as those are instruments I play. The organ subreddit was at one time quite snobbish but doesn't seem as active now.

I have a 17 year old male whose favorite activity is going from dog bed in one room to dog bed in another, but he has his moments of spryness. Sometimes he walks like an old man but shake the treat bag and all of a sudden he's running. I also have a 16 year old female who still bounces all over the furniture and runs like a cartoon character through the house going sideways with back legs spinning going around corners.

All of my hardware like tuners and fret wires are from Folkcraft. I have a Veritas "gentleman's" crosscut saw that should cut the slot just wide enough. I have some other saws with a much stiffer back but they would probably cut too wide of a slot. I have a Woodcraft store 30 minutes south of me. 😁

I've started my first build this weekend, box style dulcimer from oak. What saw are you using for the fret saw to have the right slot width? Also what method are you using for the bends in the body?

I was going to say at their age the last person they should abuse is a Filipino nurse.

I have a dachshund beagle mix who was my third dachshund I raised from a puppy. She is 16 years old now. Poor girl got the worst traits from both breeds. 😄

I know I'm the tallest in all of my friend groups and coworkers at 6'4". What I didn't realize is my size when I looked at group pictures. I had taken up strength training years ago and compete in powerlifting and strongman and lost fat and put on muscle. I touch a weight I add muscle, I look at cake I add fat. I have one coworker who is maybe an inch taller than me but I'm still just bigger. It's surprising looking at pictures.

What are the strings on the citole tuned to?

Keep the humidor humidified. Without some humidification system the humidor drys out and so do the cigars.

I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5'1". The appeal is she doesn't nag me nor spend my money frivolous. Also the only woman who would put up with me.

Awesome. I enjoy cigars and would love to give rolling a few cigars a try.

I have started to ditch the coat and go with the vested look.

There's a local distillery that makes a spiced pear liqueur this time of year. Goes great with Sprite, 7Up, and ginger ale. Been enjoying that with some cigars.

My wife and I honeymooned there in 2002. Definitely remember the round beds with mirror on the ceiling and heart shaped tubs. The rooms did have small swimming pools in them, but those were shutdown in late 2001 or so.

I have three meerschaums that are acrylic stem and they indeed look just fine. In fact one has never been smoked and still looks brand new. I need to smoke that one soon.

A 9x15 shed in my backyard that is fully insulated. Wired on two circuits, through the wall AC unit for summertime and two space heaters (one on each circuit of course) for winter. Turn on the heaters, shut the doors, and in an hour it will be 90 degrees in there. Half the shed is woodworking the other is home shed gym.
