Hemingway, Opinel #8 and Vocal
It's August 2nd, 2021 and the weather here in Northeast Texas is unbearably hot this year. We've had heat indices well above 110° for the past ten days and there is no end in sight. Normally this time of the year, I'm able to keep my 125-year-old home reasonably comfortable but for some unknown reason, the humidity has permeated my home leaving the air both sticky and uncomfortable. I was more tolerable of the weather in my youth, but as I age, my required level of comfort sometimes exceeds what I'm able to provide.

The Shop
Let's get this over with. We all get old. The only way around this is to die young and most of us aren't willing to do that. I never really understood the brutality of age until it hit me with both feet in the middle of my chest like a WCW wrestler coming off the top rope. No, I didn't have a heart attack or anything like that. I was actually in pretty good health, or so I thought, mowing my yard on a bright July morning about 7 years ago. I was kind of in a hurry to get it done because I wanted to get back to my shop where I had some cabinets clamped up and drying for one of the biggest and most important kitchens I had ever built. My wife had finally given me the order to custom build our dream kitchen. Never mind I had been building custom kitchens for others for a long time! She's kind of choosy and took her time.
