The lean to roof that was covering my boat was falling off ( like literally had become unfastened to the barn) so I’ve been rebuilding it. It’s 35’x12’ and so far it’s cost me $180.00 , that’s $150.00 for used tin and $30.00 for four 2x4’s , everything else I already had. But it’s complete now with the exception of a little silicone in a few holes and around the power mast. I’m too old to be doing this shit by myself but I’m also too cheap to pay someone to help. 
I’ve still got a lot of mess to clean up and tools to put away but that’s what tomorrow is for.

i got chickens! drove 3 hrs round trip to pick up 10 ladies early this morning. never touched a chicken before in my life, and tonight i had to pick them all up to put them in the coop. this has been a dream/goal of mine for over 10 years and it's finally part of my reality. they're about 18 wks old and should lay their first eggs around mid-january, which (if everything goes well) will also coincide with the dry/cure of my first harvest. my gratitude cup overfloweth.

We parted with our flock of parakeets today.not mine
We have chicks.
Ivory has laid her clutch in a log/nest. Lucky, the papa, feeds her and guards over the entrance.
It is interesting to watch as Mustard "babysits" tending the eggs while Ivory is out for water and a stretch.
I hope it is fewer than more. Research indicates 2 to 6 eggs is average.
I have seen one featherless pink chick so far today.
We are excited for this first but are not likely to promote future hatchings.
Lucky is male, green and yellow in color. Ivory is ivory in color with no other coloring.
I thought it would be difficult.
A simple online ad "Free 9 parakeets and cage free".
Within an hour there were 3 calls.
The guy that we let take them had his young daughter with him to help in the moving.
I think the parakeets have a good home.
Finding a home for them was the easy part, letting go is difficult.
Now there are 9 pet holes in my life.
It is eerily quiet now. Sad even.
I will miss Lucky the most, as he is the one that showed up unexpected on our back porch.
So long buddy, I hope you have a long life.

It doesn't always go as planned. It's been a tough week for me.
Sometimes the really fragile gem doesn't make it. I thought I'd cleared enough of a pocket for the shape of the pavilion on this tanzanite. I pushed a little too hard getting the prongs to make better contact and it broke at two corners on the pavilion side down to the keel.

What do you do in this situation? Some revard for the customer?

She had taken her stones to a few other high end jewelers in town and was rejected. She was made aware by several professionals that tanzanite is extremely fragile and the risk is high. In this situation, we are having our lapidarist recut the stone and we will make a new ring mounting for the new shape and size. Often this sort of thing is client risk on paper, and jeweler risk in practice.... and the jeweler eats the value of the stone to source a replacement. It's why jeweler's insurance exists.
