What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

Watched 14 year old boys play hockey. These kids can skate and shoot, not afraid to take a hit and anxious to return the favor. Say what you will about today's kids but if you look around you'll still find hockey rinks, baseball fields, BB courts and other sport locations filled with kids trying to compete and get better at their sport. Boys and girls alike. These kids play to win and don't like losing. No Participation AWARDS. If you get your *** kicked you have to wear it until you even the score. The U.S. most of us grew up in is still out there, you just have to look for it. The parents of these kids are there to see their team win and are 100 % engaged and supportive. That is, for the most part, what we had when we were young.

Cooked a 25lbs turkey and made stuffing and pan gravy. Other than that, spent a little over an hour practicing draws and mag changes. Trying to get ready for sectionals in june. I am rusty, and using a new rig...lots of little mistakes.
 
Set up the bench grinder I got for Christmas. Never had one before but it's one of those tools I feel every garage should have. Don't know how often I'll use it. This afternoon I sharpened all my garden tools, took about 1/2 hour.

I believe I would have refused that one.

Made a "Holy Pepperoni" from The Mad Sicilian last night and didn't notice the back part of the crust got stuck on the oven rack.

Smelled like the oven was on pre-heat the entire time and that part got pretty black.

The rest was OK though.

3 different kinds of pepperoni IIRC, and some spots were 3 layers thick.

The other one we have is "Mother of Meat".
 
Back on the hot tub removal project.
this time with my new diamond cup wheel.
Never used one before.
Man this thing EATS concrete fast.
Totally didn't need to hand chisel anything anymore.
Gotta be careful, though as it can gouge or take too much real easy.
It will find the high spots, too once you get the feel for it.

There was a pretty good lip around the perimeter, along with the trash the installers threw under the tub overhang and the areas in the hollows of the cinder blocks where the mortar filled them in and stuck to the floor.

Anyone know what that stuff is in the last pic?

There's a thin layer under the outdoor carpeting.
Pulling the carpet, want's to pull it up as well.
