Well, actually I've done nothing today. I have a new book on my Kindle so maybe I'll read that. But, I have things that have to get done. I promised my son and daughter in law that I would make them two arts & crafts style lamps. Actually all that is left to do is make the shades. Lot's of angles to the frame of the shade. I made two for myself and love them. The kids are really looking forward to getting them.

Innovative and beautiful... Well done! Dale

Been`watching a video on Youtube. It's called "Building a Flintlock by hand". The builder is a young man (30's). He uses no power tools whatsoever . . . at all. Basic and some rudimentary tools e.g. handsaws, measuring and marking tools, brace and bit. No, no vertical mill, drill press, bandsaw or routers! I've been thinking about building a rifle from a blank. After watching this video I will.

Worked on my track bike in preparation for my annual trip to a race track in Michigan. All that's left is to mount up a fresh set of tires and it'll be ready.

About pools; my neighbor spent a bundle on a huge pool and landscaping so his grandkids would have a place to swim and play. The first year they came every week, the next year they came over a half dozen times, the third year they came once or twice. He was out at daylight every morning doing the pool cleaning routine.

The fourth year without telling his wife he hired a backhoe to push all the concrete walkways into the pool and covered the whole area with new topsoil and sod, you can't tell there was ever a pool there. He is now a happy man.

I would do that too except it is seriously against county regulations and would cost a fortune in fines and possible jail time for dis obeying their laws on disposal of wreckage waste.
They want to be paid or you can't do it. Just another example of too much govt.

Yesterday we braved the "deluge" of the hurricane worked with 8 Scouts and Scouters in muzzleloading training at Camp Raven Knob.

We did one thing a bit different at the end. Target was a 2ft square piece of drywall. With 4 shooters and their instructors on the line, we did a military style "volley" into the drywall. At each command to "Fire!", all 4 shooters fired in unison and drywall was flying and the kids were having a ball.

A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. A pool is the dry land version.

A serious problem with government is some of the people attracted to that line of work.

Had both knees done last January. I drive an F250. I had to use a plastic step I rigged up to an old dog leash for a few weeks. Worked great. Step up, sit down, pull the step up behind you.
