We’ve have a base camp here also. Patadise, Hagen etc fires…..

I saw Jethro Tull back in the mid 70’s a couple of times. Possibly the loudest concert ever, except maybe for Alice Cooper

Walla Walla

We got some more this morning, but we’re no where near 1”. At least it’s cooler!

Oh, and I made this:

Well, I stood just outside of my shop feeling, watching, and THANKING for the first rain we’ve had in about 2 months. I sure hope the folks working on/in the fires around the area can make some headway…..

Just for fun…

I miss-posted this in the garden spot…. Here’sa tree-file! I’ve been experimenting making walking sticks and Shillelagh. Just got this short one done: one piece plum stick with a natural gall

I grew up just north of Boulder in Timnath, just across I-25 and just off Harmony Road on the banks of the Poudre river. It was idyllic. FoCo had about 35,000 people when I left town: virtually no air pollution, driving College Ave end to end took about 20 minutes. Just after Boulder started...

One of my pet peeves: I live in a rural area. I really don’t care if someone’s dog takes a dump along the side of the road by my place, but it REALLY pisses me off when they put it in a bag and then either stealthily drop it on the side of the road or worse, throw it in my pasture. In my mind...

Another cane! This one is a Turkish Filbert stick with an Osage Orange handle grafted on.

I was extricating a master cylinder from a 1948 Plymouth with the help of my friend. Trying to pry the clutch pedal off with a 5’ spud bar with a 4’ pipe cheater: slipped off and smashed my thumb between the spud bar and the frame. A red hot needle and a red geyser, and I was fine.

My BMW 1600GTL is fairly easy to service, but simple things like cleaning the windshield is a pain: of course the part you look through is easy, but to clean the whole thing it must be removed. Adding coolant is also a pain. Adjusting the valves is an all day chore…..

Better pic - this one is 55” long
