A Sunday Project for The Horse!

I was feeling a bit lost today, wondering what projects I could work on. Then discovered a 1969 (or so) KLH Model 21 radio that I had bought a year or two ago (on eBay) and forgotten about. I think I spent $80 on the thing.
Today, I spent some time in the sun, restoring all of the walnut surfaces on the radio. Then I tested it in my kitchen. It sounds good, though it gets some stations my other KLH Model 21 can't get and misses some that the other one CAN get. Go figure.
Next week, I'll oil it up and see what it looks like. It should command $150 or so on Craigslist. Did you get some projects done today? I need some new ones to keep my mojo working. Yes, I'll post an "after" picture when it's done.

@TheHorse I do not care what anyone says he was good and I would take him if had a scrub team. Unfortunately, we have Mohomes and he lighting world on fire. Like that is a bad thing. So far at least. A quarterback cannot save a bad team and 49ers went to crap when they let Harbaugh go. You have a bad coach, I do not care how good you are, you will not be as good as you are capable.

Its been raining for days, not much I can do since I am working on improving our backyard garden, I stayed imdoors and stripped wires that I had amassed to extract the copper and make a few bucks.

@TheHorse the copper I'm stripping is sacks and sacks from house to building rewires, bought it cheap a long time ago and just left it laying around, I'm gonna sell them for around 6 dollars per kilogram.

@louievill Sounds good. Better than having someone steal them. How many kg do you have?

@wolfgirl569 Did you end the day with a sense of accomplishment? I should oil up one of my radio surfaces. Or maybe not.

Great work @TheHorse .
The one project that I constantly work on is myself. Not sure if that counts.

@TheHorse I went, because I asked if I could postpone the appointment and the waiting list is so long that I had to wait several months. The dentist who takes care of the cleaning is very good and has many clients. There are others in the area, but this one is the best.

@andriaperry No, when it comes to Mexican food, I let others do the cooking.

@TheHorse I make my own salsa and refried beans and home can them so they are always ready. You make your own?

I worked a bit on my craft project.
We will wait for the picture.
I also completed one chapter of the book in last two days...I am helping my mom with it. She is the author of the book. She has the outline and well written points but her fingers are hurting a lot and making it very tough for her to type.

@arunima25 Sounds good to me. It still sounds like a real "bonding" experience. An something with a clear, tangible outcome, which I like.

@TheHorse Yes and she is being a real professional paying me for that. She agreed to give it to me only if I took the payment. So I have to be professional with it.
