Photography Now & Then #98
One of the two 2×10 boards I was going to use for a floating shelf didn’t work out. I knew the board had a bit of a bow across its width, but wasn’t expecting that the hole I was drilling for the mounting pin would penetrate the surface of the board. Well! that wasn’t going to do! So, today, after I was done at the gym, I stopped by Lowes and picked up another 2×10, making sure it was level. And, unlike the last time, there wasn’t a line waiting while the clerk dealt with some issue or another with the customer currently at the register. No one waiting and I sailed on through in short order.
The board is now cut, drilled, and chiseled, ready for sanding.

On our first trip out west after I retired and before I started working as a contract instructor, we spend a few days camped in Lewistown, Montana. On a drive around the nearby countryside, we came across this weathered relic.
