More on this later.<\/p>\n<p>Having some more time on my hands I cut the copper pipe for the C4 chord wind chimes. I also cut the wooden top plate for the chimes out of 1&#8243; Oak that has been laying around the shop for decades. \u00a0I got to use the new circle cutter I just bought from Harbor Freight: Boy did it smoke as the cutter was friction cutting the hole and I had to stop several times to let the smoke clear out of the garage. \u00a0Anyway, all I have to do is cut out the striker. \u00a0I think I will use a saw tooth hole cutter on it. \u00a0However, I do not have the hole cutter so up to Menards I will go tomorrow. \u00a0Also, I need some 30# fishing line to string the chimes and some thinner material for the sail. \u00a0I think that line will last out in the sun well.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight we watched Arrival upstairs and SAM is watching Lion while I write this Blog. \u00a0I think that is it for tonight so Moore later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second day after tax day SAM spent putting stuff away and later in the afternoon went into Angola to do a little yard work for an elderly lady and to do a little shopping. \u00a0I was left at my own devices so I went up on the roof and cleared some twigs off it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2902"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2902"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2902\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2910,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2902\/revisions\/2910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
