Image
 Found this pen and ink, sadly the tag that tells you who the artist is was vaguely stapled on, but the tag for how to hang it, oh that's on there like monkey going through puberty. Reminds me of someone..... I think that says Gary??? anyone else able to read medical scribing?

Trip to Bangs...Pop 1500er so....

Image
 It was supposed to be overcast maybe even some rain on saturday, it wasn't, it was hot the whole way there. I filled up bags of cans to recycle, it's a very cheap hobby, that pays, and best of all I found over three pounds of copper, and a handful of brass. Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave

Chicken coop new coop....

Image
 There was all this wasted space under the chicken coop playhouse thing the previous people left behind, so I re did the Cross X Members and put them on the inside. Then using the old wood I haven't gotten rid of I walled up three sides and made a flip up door for one side, the goal is to put the table saw and the miter saw under there, since I don't use them much, dry, and locked up with bike locks, plus all the stuff you need to use the saws are in a bin hidden in the house.   So steal the saw, they worthless without the goodies. It was hot, really hot, heat stress was a constant during getting this done this weekend. Back side Back side I haven't finished the trim over the corners This is the flip up door. Dead on front, yes I need a step. Front from an angle.

Was it Aliens....? or super secret toppity top classified military project.......

 It was a rainy rainy night, and when I arose, a partial crop circle was in the neighbor's yard..... Duh duh duuuuuuu! Who dunnit? Just say no to the probe man.....

Chest O' Drawers project...

Image
 I don't drag home everything like I used to when it comes to furniture, especially since I'm not doing the yardsale thing anymore... Started with this.... Missing a drawer, and that pencil sharpener will go somewhere else. Here's after the first cuts.... And here is it with all the drawers put back and the top attached by hinges in the back. Since it will back against a wall I don't think it needs a chain to keep the lid from going back to far, just need to buy four casters to wheel it around and it's perfect, oh and oil it, should help that piece I salvaged from the back to put above the top drawer pop and not look so dull.

Puppy avoids the heat his own way

Image
 Saw the neighbor puppy laying across the foot area of the riding mower.... He still does this. he was so tired I had to ask him several times to pay attention.... See he's alive, though how that can be comfortable.
