Hopefully it’s not still active, at least with that equipment.

that's what had my attention a mile away.
you guys would have had a good laugh if I pulled out the Reynolds Wrap
and made myself a big hat...

Thanks, Dennis. One thing I’m avoiding this trip is car rental. Expecting our son will be chauffeuring in Dc area, as will Sophie’s sisters, except when one lends us her 2nd car to visit our old friends in AZ.

That said, am hoping we get to visit when you come to Big Island, Hilo side. Just you and wife or a group?

Wife and I and oldest son coming in Feb.

Grandson (7 yrs old) got his first deer last evening. Using my .44 mag rifle, got himself a little button buck, at about 40 yards. Momma came out a few minutes later, to see what the ruckus was maybe. We let her check us out for awhile, until she winded us and ran back off. He made an almost perfect lung shot and he only went about 30 yards. We were able to teach him about blood trailing and field dressing. Proud Dad and young shooter:

I'm getting my second dose shingles vaccine this morning. First one hit me a little hard. Hope this one is better.

Good teaching.

Mrs. ask another hunter to leave property,hunter told Mrs. " I didn't think anyone would mind" as he park by HUNTING BY PERMISSION ONLY sign.

Maybe the first word on the sign should be NO. And Only put out NO hunting signs otherwise it looks like you permit hunting or really don't care if people hunt. hunting by permission is interpreted as hunting is permitted.

Good Afternoon m7040,
I was a toolmaker/modelmaker for almost 40 years, and did have a Gerstner tool chest. But as a woodworker my plan was always to build my own chest !

I built this chest about 25 years ago. The carcass is black walnut, the drawers are butternut and the diamond inlays are rosewood. The drawer pulls are brass that I turned on a lathe. The drop front iinset is birdseye maple, and I also made the spring loaded locks that hold the front up while in the locked position ! Fun project !

Beautiful chest! That is some fine precision work for sure!

Looks like I need to replace batteries already in my lot camera. Just noticed no pics the last 2 days. Put new in Aug 12, just under 7 weeks ago.

I got all the grass mowed today. it was really tall and thick after the recent rains. amazing how fast it turned from brown to thick green. 3 hrs on the meter today.
There were 2 apples on my northern spy tree, first i've seen on it. I picked them and will try them. They are more a cooking apple.


scott, nice chest.

Don, sorry the 'good' knee is acting up so bad. ---- not that I know what you're dealing with.....

Kilroy, you could get another few years out of that anode....

RNG, hope you can find all the parts!

Costco run wasn't too bad, got out under $200.
HD, well, one very small box of electric stuff, 100' of 12/2 wire, and 2 gallons of paint---- $258 after a 10% discount. The wire alone was $80. Paint=$76.

Expensive day ---- I'm sure not as bad as David's reservation expenses, but still a chunk.....
