off my rocker

for 24 hours.....while Elmer's Wood Glue dries.....went by True Value and got glue, some poly varnish and a small brush.....the heat and humidity were making that old rocking chair fall apart....don't think it has anything to do with overloading beyond reasonable tolerances......when the wind blows in a thunderstorm, the porch furniture gets soaked sometimes, so maybe the varnish finish will keep the moisture out of the wood and I can make a porch rocker yet.....I had it pretty much in pieces, applying glue....and then had a fine time trying to put it back together again....at one point I was ready to swear it had never been together in the first place....took a hammer to it finally....tapped it back into shape.....it was too muggy and glare-ey on the porch to work on it, so we ended up in the kitchen, under the fan....check it out tomorrow and see if it's ready to finish.....
