8 months (and a long long winter) later my deck is exhibiting a severe splinter danger condition. I'm not sure if the best way to deal with it is good ol' sanding, or if I should try one of those handheld planer do-jobbies. Open to advice from FF deckxperts.

Not that I'm a total expert, but I'd opt for sanding. Any new cuts you make are likely to splinter as well so I think doing things on a finer level is needed. - Spidra Webster
My vote would be test one part with sander first going from really rough to at least 200. With planer you would still have to sand after. A hand held router also an option if it's just corners, again still have to sand after. - SteVe C
Do it with gloves on. I've had it happen where a splinter came at me right through some sandpaper once... - Spidra Webster
I've never used a planer of any type (handheld or benchtype or whatever) so I really have no clue as to when their use is appropriate. Given that, I figured I'd go with sanding, and like Steve suggested, use a router to round the corners. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of wood the contractor used, but I didn't specify and he went cheap. I guess I should've known better. #liveandlearn - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Having sanded our entire deck two years ago - rent a commercial sander. I burned out the three we had here and tore many belts of our very old craftsman. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Good to know, Janet. I have to sand the faces of the rail boards as well. Some still have visible markings stamped on them, and some have pretty noticeable residual saw blade indentations, all of which I want to remove before I stain it later this summer. Someone told me I should wait two years before I stain/seal the wood, but it's looking like it might be taking in more moisture than it's letting out. Plus I really want to soften the 'new wood' look that really stands out against a 60 year old house. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

it's a Honda CR-V and far and away the most money I've ever spent on a car. Love it, though. - teleken from BuddyFeed
What are you going to name her? - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Name her Cristo. That will prove his point. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
I <3 Lisa. Also, I <3 CR-V. I'm either getting that or a Pilot when I trade in next year (though I'm super tempted to trade in right now...). - Hookuh Tinypants
The CR-V has a ridiculous turning radius - easier to park than that rental Impala I had. The EX comes VERY nicely loaded. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Gratz! I adore new cars of all the types. - Lnorigb
Nice car. I seriously considered one, but couldn't quite manage it. And used ones are really hard to find within a 100 mile radius. (According to Cars.com, at least.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Well, Cristo's comment is gone. So now mine & Amanda's comments just look silly... Also, I really preferred the Subaru Forester to the CR-V back when I was looking. Although, the ease of repairing a Honda might sway me in the future IF they give them AWD... Love my Forester's AWD! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Wow. Great minds think alike. I really wanted a Forester when my search began. But the only used one I could find was way overpriced and a test drive proved that it wasn't mechanically up to par. But they are really really popular, as in "#1 selling car in its class" popular (at least according to Subaru.) But still, I love my Soul. Not as big, no AWD, but it has everything I really... more... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Wait, what happened to Jalapeño? - Marie
The Forester was a consideration for me, but TCO was through the roof if you go out 5 years. Truth be told, this is my sixth Honda in 25 years. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Nice choice! The Honda, not Mark's music. :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Marie - Jalapeño was totaled 9 months after I bought her by a sleeping driver doing 50 MPH who rear-ended me while I was stopped at a light. I've had bad luck with Toyotas. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Lisa - they make AWD CR-Vs. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Oh, Jalapeño. *pours out a sip* - Marie
Whaaaa? I've never seen a used one! It might be time to finally consider my first NEW car... - Lisa | #TeamMonique
all new CRV? sweeet I want one of those! :D - پروتژه
Honda rocks, between BMW and Honda, I chose Honda for lower price and similar features with almost certainly better quality than german engineering. - پروتژه
Lisa - the AWD ones typically stocked are EX-Ls, which means you get leather and the premium nav system too. Fair price is about $29K. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Love it! Sadly I'm about to be dropped (I mean extinguished) by leveled-up knockout drops, or I'd have a clever Chfistopher-White-referential name for the car. But BlacoBlanco isn't yanking my chaiiiiii.............n.n.......n........n......... - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Sweet. Thanks for the tip, teleken! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Any time. :) I must be getting old; this time around I shopped safety before style. IMO I got both with this car. IHSA has this one second to the Forester, BTW - they're more or less neck and neck. - teleken from BuddyFeed

Who remembers Puttin' On The Hits?
I used to love that show, but I think it was on at a weird time. I have memories of having to record it to watch it. ETA: It also reminded me of The Gong Show in it's funnyness. - Anika
I remember that! It used to be on the TV when my Mom came to pick me up from daycare. I remember liking the theme song. - DB, Just DB #TeamMonique

Medieval Europe: Why was water the most popular drink? - http://www.slate.com/blogs...
"In larger cities, water-supply infrastructure was built to ensure public access to clean water. In medieval London, for example, the City Council began construction on what was called "the Great Conduit" in 1236. This was a complex of pipes that brought water from a large fresh spring at Tyburn to a pumping house with cisterns at Cheapside. This fed local cisterns all over London. [...] People did drink a lot of ale and beer, but not because their water was so bad. The brews in question were much weaker than their modern equivalents but had the effect of providing much-needed calories to laborers and farmers, as well as being thirst-quenching and re-hydrating in hot weather or when working hard and losing sweat. Given the long days medieval workers put in, ale and beer were a major and necessary part of a laborer's daily energy intake. This should be seen as something like the medieval equivalent of drinking Gatorade." - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet

Searching for Dwight Howard - Grantland
"Reality No. 4: Dwight's offensive game hasn't improved Did he fail out of Hakeem's summer camp and we never got the memo? Every Dwight jump hook looks like he's hurling a rock through a window. His footwork gives you that same "I'm just trying to get through this sequence alive" feeling you get when you're watching D-list celebs on Dancing With the Stars. He can't make even a 10-foot jumper, and his free throw shooting is more ghastly than ever (49 percent). He's a lousy passer from the low post who has never averaged even TWO assists per game. And he rarely out-hustles other bigs down the floor for layups or dunks anymore, something Tim Duncan gleefully exposed during the humiliating Spurs beatdown. Should Duncan (37, nearly 1,382 career games) repeatedly beat Howard (27, 758 career games) down the floor in a playoff game? You tell me." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

30 Things You Didn't Know About Return of The Jedi
I didn't know that the lead singer of Toto was John Williams' son. Wow. - Anika
Return of The Jedi does hold the dubious honor of being the first Star Wars movie to feature more than one woman who was more than a background extra. Take a bow, Mon Motha. You broke new ground in a way that is genuinely embarrassing to admit. (Seriously, Princess Leia is the only named female character in the first two Star Wars movies.) - SteVe C
That one was weird. What about Aunt Beru? - Anika

So Sophie walks in, her eyes adjust to the darkness. Then she looks up and says: is that dinosaur music, Dad? - Stephan Planken from iPhone

t-ra: not givin up
In my haste to move on from the tragicomic romantic fiascos of the past couple weeks, I have 3 possible dates for this weekend... which now me thinks is a bit much. Tonight is the do-over from last weekend, but I might postpone the others. I'm just not feeling energetic enough to be charming three days in a row.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope this weekend's romancing goes better than the last few. - John (bird whisperer)
ha! thanks, John. I'm with you in that hope. - t-ra: not givin up
