Weekend Photos -- May 2026

Can't believe it's almost June.

But at least it's not raining today and I'm outside painting,

So what's the upside in that statement?

The queue of models to be painted looms large and now it's slightly smaller, while I also got the back yard mowed!

I've got a bit of outdoor painting to do, but the garage looms large soon. I think it'll be okay for another year...maybe.

Garage is slowly getting cleared of accumulated debris and also serves as a work space - oak pedestal kitchen table /w leaves is ongoing - stripping finish down and clean to wood and then 2 coats (no pants or vest!) of fresh polyurethane.

LOL, I thought you were painting the house. Painting models definitely an upside.

I’ve got a table I started refinishing last year. Got the top sanded down to bare wood, than applied a coat of Minwax Polyshades. Total crap...gotta sand all of that off again and start over. Need a plan B. Classic example of what can happen when you try to shortcut.

Would depend on the beer rations

I've got some from Founder's brewery - a bottle of the CBS should satisfy.

I do miss the Beer thread from the "old" mtj FORUM.
