Did some photography stuff at the Rock Island Arsenal yesterday. Lot of history at this place from the Civil War & still an operational military base today.
Fences at the bottom were made by melting down surplus civil war canon balls.

Those are so cool!
I'm considering trying to get back in to woodworking a little.
I saw a project I wanted to try:
http://www.classyclutter.net/2012/05/build-your-own-extra-storage-diy-canned-food-organizer/

It would solve some of my issues in the kitchen. For one, it would make it easier to access some of the more frequently used canned goods and would make it easier to put some of the stuff away (since it is closer to the door). It would also keep my brother from throwing trash between the fridge, freezer, and wall.

I know I have other things that need to be worked on, but I enjoy looking up project plans and stuff.

talk about beating their swords into plowshares

I knew a girl named Vera way back when. I'd call her on the phone and say "Ahoe Vera" how you doin'?

as the nite went on, Boudreaux statred flirting with Pierre's wife,,,,long about 10 oclock, maybe 1030
Boudreaux drops one of his cards on the floor, He bend down to get the card, and Pierre old woman flashed him with a woo woo look see real quick like.
ohhh this got Boudreaux all twitterpated and ready for it...she went to the kitchen to grab beers for everyone
here go Boudreaux,,,,he sees her, and tells her. I gotta have some of that, She was acting all coy,,,tells him to be here tomorrow
while Pierre is at work bring $100.00,
so, he went over there the very next day, they did, he did, she did, it was done
and he left..
later on Pierrie comes home,,,first thing he do,,he ask her,,you seen boudreaux today ?
OOOHHHH panic,,she scared,,the jig, it up, cat he out the bag..ohh no!!
she is about to tell everything and beg forgiveness
When Pierre buts in real rude like,,butted in,,
he said,,did he give you 100.00 today...ohhh,,she freaking out..she tremble in voice..yes he gave me $100,00 BUT>>
Pierre he say,,you know woman, That Boudreaux, He one GOOD mudder,,he shore is.
he ask me this morning, If he could borrow a hundred dollars.....said he would drop it off before I got home
yes sir a good mudder..that Boudraux

Bourbon. I like bourbon. I also like making bourbon. (yes legally) I've managed to come up with a pretty good mashbill. And Im within six months of my first run of it to be done aging.

I also spent far too much time on my bikes. Or so says my wife. Im just about done with my latest bobber build and riding season is finally here.

I do enjoy hunting and fishing but havent had the time in recent years.

Well of course, between building bikes and making bourbon :trophy:
Let us know when that stuff is ready; we'll be the tasting committee

If yall show up to the toys for tots run this fall ill have some broke out for that. If its better than the bit i aged ultrasonically when I first distilled it then itll be a win.

I have the laser engraver pretty well set up now. Photo software arriving tomorrow & there's still a chuck rotary on back order to do round items.
Playing around today getting used to the machine.

Gary, that is really cool!
