What am I thankful for?

I am thankful no one got squished! XD
18 people, 5 dogs, two turkeys, 3 gallons of mashed potatoes, over a gallon of stuffing, mushroom gravy, homegrown beets, wine,beer and a whole bunch of brush that needed disposing of.
The pile was too ...

You need Gas Money, I need to get some stuff to Black Rock City
(blog entry)
My truck (the Golden Behind) is not shipshape for the trip. I have some theme camp parts that I would like to get to the playa and I can kick in some fuel money for the help.
I have a big old tent, a box of kerosene lanterns, lantern standards ...

Significantly less awesome
(blog entry)
Truck problems mean that I will be flying to Reno, where some of my camp mates have offered to pic me up. It beats the hell out of staying home but it does mean that I will not have a truck full of awesome stuff. I am trying to decide about the bi...

Progress at last
(blog entry)
Finally moving forward on the railing. I got lots of drilling and tapping done today. All of the pickets for the flat section of railing and one of the staircases. Tomorrow afternoon I will twist one third of the pickets (about 30 total and only 1...

Must stop thinking so much.
(blog entry)
I have to twist about 30 half inch bars. I was thinking about how to do it in the lathe without overheating anything important but the whole time I had this nagging feeling that I owned some thing lathe-like that would be far superior. This mornin...

The pile was too loose to sustain combustion. Really. It's not drunken bobcat driving for the hell of it. It was necessary.
Marz drove down from Alfred University with a couple of friends. I dragged them out the country for Thanksgiving Dinner and I think they we...

I have a big old tent, a box of kerosene lanterns, lantern standards (steel, kinda heavy), and my bike. That is in order of importance.

Finally moving forward on the railing. I got lots of drilling and tapping done today. All of the pickets for the flat section of railing and one of the staircases. Tomorrow afternoon I will twist one third of the pickets (about 30 total and only 1/2 inch square), followed by a little wire brushing and these parts will be ready to paint. I can squeeze the painting in between art car events this weekend and then the dry time on the paint will not be holding up any work. I like it when things co...

I have to twist about 30 half inch bars. I was thinking about how to do it in the lathe without overheating anything important but the whole time I had this nagging feeling that I owned some thing lathe-like that would be far superior. This morning as I was getting started on the tooling I remembered that there was a pipe-threader tucked away in the storage room. Perfect! It has more torque, slower speeds, and a big through hole so I can put a piece of pipe in as a heat shield.
I spent th...
