Kept the boys from fighting, kept them concentrating on school work, broke up another fight. Explained how to carry the 1s in multiplication, showed old school long division to my 4th grader who was frustrated with common core math, separated them after they started fighting again.
Looked at my pile of 9 cord worth of tree length I need to get started cutting, took a nap, went to work.
I am actually getting less done then I would because the kids are home from school during the day. Since they are home but doing distance learning with their teacher I can't really get too involved with anything outside. Wife has been happy because I have been doing spring cleaning in the house.

I started using these probably 25 years ago and just kept adding them when I could find a deal. They used to be rebranded as an Ace Hardware item years ago. They aren’t nearly as easy to find now as they used to be.
I really like them for the way I work. When I go someplace away from home to work on a project the individual bin fits nicely in a milk crate.
As you can tell I’m a fan. Lol!

Its getting too hot to hike my favorite, more remote, trails.
I’m trying to complete long deferred projects for which I have already collected the pieces.
This is my tubing cutter and double flare tool kit from the 70’s. It’s an Imperial Eastman rebadged as a Mac. Original box was more duct tape than plastic. Held closed with a rubber band.
I bought this metal box for $1 about five years ago. Removed a broken pressure gauge and misc plumbing. Sandblast, paint, and fabbed up some dividers and presto! A box that will out live me.
Now my midget tube cutters and spare cutter wheels are all in one place.
Bored? Not me, nope! Lol

I put pine straw out the other day and thought I was accomplishing something
Since the weather is cooperating at the moment I'm trying to get the roof framing done over the deck.
FYI in this pic there are no nails, screws bolts of any kind in the roof framing.

Looks like it's concentrating quite a load to the middle of that front header. Are you reinforcing it too?
Actually zero shear loading as it's a tie beam and it's in tension, the load is transferred from the ridge beam thru the rafters to the top plate. After setting the rafters the ridge beam rose an 1/8th inch opening a gap on the vertical post, all good.
