Paul on a bike, except when I'm working on the new house...

 Weighing in at 3.5lbs this little beaut is a blacksmith's hammer, and I think it turned out great, used it to pound the pry bar so I could take apart a pallet after I welded it together.... The hole on the bottom is smaller than the one below which is the top. I had a lot to fill up with weld. Light weld on the bottom. Lot o' weld on the top, feels solid, and I think I got the hammer head to melt which since it's different steel than the spike. And here it is finished, wrapped with some rubber inner tube and some exterior grade electrical tape.

 Wednesday's stormy night I heard a crack, which would be a tree falling, or a big limb, didn't see it until this morning when I looked across the street and there she was, right next to the tree the eagles like landing on. And this is the downpour that happened about 30 minutes after I got back from my run... https://youtu.be/QeEnyWPhhzo

 Went Ninja this morning to check out the property across the street, the neighbor said he takes his dogs down there all the time, the sheep guy goes over there, an so does the lady who runs the goats, so since I was actually cleaning stuff up, me going over there should be fine. First up was what was left of the foundation of the house that used to be over there, tales of how it was set up like a sea ship might be true, but it was probably patterned after a single wide, nothing but bricks and tires left now, and a whole lot of ferrous metal, bits of old cans and wire. Then onto the pit, across the street is like a small peninsula with a small stream as a border. After I had done a circle of the peninsula I took a pic of this tree that stands on the retaining wall, sort of like you would see in New Orleans as you look up to see the boats go by. Turn to the left a little, and that mound is about the direction of my house, being about 100ft behind it. The green part is the high part wher

 Looked out my window and saw a herd of them, guess since the dogs are gone they aren't afraid to come by for an acorn or two....

  Okay lets try typing this again, google is evil, so the pic below is the back of the knob, since there isn't room for a whole door knob on the back, look at all them holes in the door. Locking mechanism, true it's upside down and backwards, but that's where it was, look at the pretty brass screws....look at the pretty. And this isn't the knob I wanted to use, but I don't have a shaft that will work with that knob, so this one will do. Door. Here's before I put the knob in. Look at all them cat tracks, they were some busy little vermin.... Gonna have to get a trap, and turn them over to the pound, might also catch that HUGE opossum I saw last night, he's a brute, like a NY rat, or Democrat politician....
