It was not as tall as the Washington Monument which we went up a few months again but the monument only has a few very small windows at the top so the view is much more restricted.
After lunch at a 150 year old restaurant/bar we headed to our scheduled tour of the National Cathedral. Amazing architecture and construction along with beautiful stained glass windows but really just another big building to check off the list.

Check with Zeus, he would most likely know if Bill was still working.

We finished the house repairs at the kids house so Remington took both sets of parents on a little tour today. Right now we are in the top floor of “The View” here in Arlington which has a glass enclosed observation deck that gives the best 360* view of the entire area. From the National Cathedral to the north to the Capital Mall with the Presidential Memorials to the east and the Pentagon and A/FMemorial to the south.
Awesome spot if you visit the area!

Well, the sons NM elk hunt may or may not happen. Both sets of parents are out here to work on house projects and celebrate the grandsons second birthday. He came from his bath last night with a shirt one that said “Big Bro” which was their way of telling us we are going to have another grandchild right in the middle of elk season!😄
That was last night. Today they found out we will be getting our first granddaughter! Life is so good!

That’s why some of us dads pick the careers we do. Days like this. Good job dad!

I went to their site but I don't see where they make a set for the Redding T-7 press unfortunately.

Must be a fixture to compressing Ruger strut springs?

One last ride in the hills then head to DC in the morning for the last time to work on the kids place before they move to NM next month. I will skip away one of the days and hang out with Rob Rowen and ogle and see at all his wood and horn materials and the cool guns he’s making stocks/grips for.

No idea on dogs thoughts since he hasn’t sent yet. As long as the SIL pays for it, I don’t care if she makes my brother in law sleep in it!🤣
Oh yes, definitely smells like wine when cutting it up!

You know you are in trouble when you get drug to a HUGE junk hunt sale and your wife's sister comes grab you and drags you to a booth and points at something and says "Can you make me one of those?" May I present to you a dog wine barrel bed Talk about a pain to build with the steel bands to cut then sand so there are no sharp edges. Now I have to use the other half of the barrel to make a second one just so I can sell it and get it out of the shop.
