The NEW Bionic Woman!

They rebuilt her from scratch!

They got the tits and ass just perfect,but apparently we lack the technology to match her eye color...
That's about it..
Only because,for the most part,life has been fairly routine.I go to work,I come home,watch some television while navigating the blogosphere,and hit the sack...And that's cool.

Always,there will be more non-events to provide hours of dwelling at the keyboard,only to come away with that fundamental question niggling at the back of my psyche.."Why aren't these letters in alphabetical order?..Who the hell came up with this bright idea??"..
And then I think,.."Maybe it's like The Tarot!"..
All the mystical knowledge,and spiritual esoterica known to the ancients,conveniently and forever withheld from the common folk,yet mockingly flaunted before us in a single word..."QWERTY!".
I just don't know,..but you can bet yer ass the Masons are involved.

This week,I did get to help construct a nice little entertainment center for the Bosses' daughter.
These kinds of things are always approached with enthusiasm by all the fellas...Daughter being quite easy on the eyes you see.

Have a great week kids!

Very nice sir! You are quite the carpenter/finisher. If she resembles the bionic babe, I'm sure the project was labored over very enthusiastically. Can you please build a casket for gay marriage in CA now, or better yet, the Gov.?

There are a lot of big words in this post.
(no no, not 'tits' and/or 'ass'! Though, to be fair...)

nice shelves but where is the pic of the daughter... that's what we'd like to see.

tater- Thanks buddy!..Daughter doesn't necessarily resemble bionic babe,in the strictest superficial sense.
She is the beloved offspring of folks we all care about very much.
Bright,charming,dedicated to a career helping the handicapped,and as an added bonus!..Pretty as a speckled pup! :)
I don't think,given my vocation,(ahem)that it would be out of line for me to say that I'd be more than happy to build Governor's coffin..

Hat-The biggest word I know is "mayonnaise"..One of these days,I'm gonna work it into a post.

citymouse- First thing tomorrow,I'll stroll my scraggly middle aged butt up to the boss and say,"Hey,mind if I post some pix of yer daughter on my blog?".. ;)

What? I'm sorry but a real Bionic person could see without that obviously enhanced eye. AND with a cool sound effect.

Senator, you're no Jaime Sommers. (Not to be confused with Jamie Summers of the porn star variety.)

You know your way around a bandsaw, Sir. Impressive.

excellent craftsmanship, i daresay you have superior skills than the son of man allegedly had.

keyboard - it took me fifty years to get used to this one, i'll get pretty mad if they change it now.

1. Yah. Those word verification things can give MIGHTY spooky direction/advice sometimes. What's spooky is how quickly I kind of sit up: Ooh. That's GOOD.

2. NICE center. It looks like one of those springy-thingies. You touch, it opens. That's just nice and saves the cabinet user's fingers much wear and tear.

Very, very nice! Mad skilz there man..

The big 'ole "Oh thanks so much!!" hug was probably worth it I'm sure ;)

Cowbell- "Sorry we had to stick this creepy orb right there in yer face Ms. Sommers...We ran out of funding"..

Amy- Good eye!.."Shaker" style is notable for it's simple lines.The cabinet is bullt from Cherry wood,but stained Walnut.I'm not an advocate for staining Cherry,but Daughter wanted it dark,and Cherry naturally darkens with age.

Rube- I think maybe I just have access to better tools.
..All both of my typing fingers would be screwed if they changed the keyboard as well.

booda baby- The doors don't open with a touch,but the drawers are self closing with a slight push.

doralong- sadly,I don't get to go on the installs much,so I settle for the heartfelt ,"Thank you!" from the bosses. :)

You're so lucky you live in California...I have soooo many projects I'd hire you for were you closer to hand.

wow...can i talk you into making me a great book case??..I just finished painting my 8drawer dresser and it looks really good..now have to do the desk and 2 tables..sigh...wish i was bionic..could have it done in 1/2 the time..

lorraine- When it comes to my friends,whatever skills I have are not avilable for hire...They can only be given away...All I need is free access to about $150,000 dollars worth of woodworking tools and machinery.
..Plus materials..and beer. :P

Yellowdog G- I know you got skills girl!
I'm bettin' your projects are,and will, turn out beautifully!
We just this very morn took an order for a huge Cherry bookcase.It's gonna be fun!

Roger that. I'll get on it, because I really do have some good projects for you!

Just pull the little nubs off your keyboard and re-arrange them to your liking. Your computer will 'sense' the change.

lorraine-Cool!..Bacause all I own are a Ball-peen hammer,and a Swiss Army knife..sans toothpick.

allan- ITN!..Ziqzl q wkossoqfz ortq!!..

...apparently my computer has no sense..

Sling, what a beautiful piece of furniture. Why would anyone want furniture in anything other than wood. I remember following all the whirls in the wood on my grandmother's old piano (it had candle stick holders at each end) and being fascinated by the different images you seemed to see each time...sometimes eyes, or a face or whatever.

The boss's daughter is very fortunate...
