The sled project is about done. I got the plastic runners for the skis fit up - still need to bevel the edges, though. Weld the couplings, top plate and the hooks on and that's it. Coach Jen is going to do the painting on this one. I painted the chin-up bar gray, and she repainted it black, so I'll just let her paint the black from the get-go. The main thing is I'll get it to her in plenty of time so she'll have it for her grand opening.
I want to get the shift linkage done on the vintage trials bike before the eye surgery, so that's up next. I need to replace an undercabinet light in the kitchen. I already swapped one of them out. The new lights are dimmable LED units, so I bought a dimmer switch that you can set the desired lighting level and then turn the switch on and off without having to fiddle around with the level every time you turn on the lights.
I've got a knife project to work on and some work to do on and in the basement workshop. I got a nice book all about the diesel railroad streamliners for Christmas and it's got me thinking about working on the model train layout. Maybe do a little work in that room and set up my ham radio "shack" there as well.
I've been doing a bit of work on my family history project again. My family name is the same as a defunct company based out of Louisville, Ky. I'm supposedly related to that group but I haven't made the connection yet. To gain a little more knowledge might require a road trip to Kentucky and Tennessee. I imagine Cuzzin Ricky would be up for that, since my relatives are his relatives, since my father and his mother were brother and sister.
As always, lots to do with the to-do list all over the map. I don't know how much I'll get done in 2025, or if I'll ever finish half of the projects, but at this point in my life I can't really see any reason to change. The pleasure for me is in the doing, not the finishing.
