For today’s offering, I have no knitting and no pigs (I posted a litter of them yesterday), however I do have a particulary dirty joke ……
Mr. Boar is on vacation this week. We are planning on getting some projects done around here and have already started the Great Churning Out of Many Adirondack Chairs. There has still been no knitting to speak of and so I shall throw lots of pig pictures your way.
First off, this is a picture of a watch maker’s repair desk that is in my kitchen. We refer to this piece as Command Center – we were joking at first, but it truly is command center. Keys, phones, phone numbers, important papers, calculators, tape etc. , all are housed within its many drawers.

Sorry for the absence – there has been no knitting around here lately. Every now and then I managed a row or two on the Hex Coat, but nothing much more than that.
D#1 arrived home from her overseas adventure on Wednesday evening. There was a bit of drama surrounding her arrival that had nothing to do with her, but everything to do with her goofball friends. It led to my downing two vodka tonics later that night. I would love to tell you the details because it is all very funny, but alas with a gigantic readship such as mine, one must be aware of privacy issues. Suffice to say that 21 year old boys/men are slightly moronic. Funny how I never noticed when I was that age. D#1 had a fabulous time – has over 600 pictures to share (we are about ½ through). She is mostly home now for the summer, with a few road trips thrown in for good measure and is off to work this morning. It is so good to have her home!
D#2 is taking the SAT’s this morning. poor thing is a bundle of nerves. Within the next two weeks, she has the SAT’s, the ACT’s, AP exams and finals. Keep fingers crossed for her please!
Mr. Boar is taking the upcoming week off. We have big plans to crank out some more Adirondack chairs and will hopefully also tackle some other house projects. I promise to take many pictures.
two installments for the pork report – I forgot yesterday, what with the glories of tilling the earth ;)
Today’s excitement is D#1 returns home from her big trip. I will be picking her up at JFK this afternoon. We heard from her a few times while she has been traveling and she has had a wonderful time. She went to Greece and Bulgaria with the chamber choir from her school and they gave concerts and participated in workshops. They also managed to pack in a ton of sightseeing.
I thought you might enjoy a few pics of Mr. Boar putting together the new grill. Please notice the canine helpers.
~I had some more pics of him being swarmed by pugs but uploading has become problematic.
