vegging out at the computer will be the theme of the evening.

Food heating. Figured out where some tools that I haven’t been able to find have gotten to. Trying to decide if starting a new project or

Back from trip to the folks, Tractor Supply, The Dollar Tree, and WW. In which WW was (as usual) the most irritating and unfruitful…

Well, lunch has been fixed and consumed. Showers finished. Trying to figure what to get done prior to dark thirty. For now heading to WW.

Not that there isn’t a bunch of stuff that’s calling at me to get done but am trying to ignore it all… 😉

Didn’t get up till 10:30 am. Have now eaten breakfast and unloaded the truck. Not sure if I’m gonna do much more today as am still tired.

Supper should be ready so till later folks…

Learned a few things, and saw some stuff we can make to sell that will fit with what we are already doing, so was well worth the trip.

We made a few bucks but not near as much as we had hoped. Suspect we will get an invite to the juried show in the spring from it though.

Alabama. Got to Jacksonville and went by WW for food and such. Then came home. Supper should be ready in about 2 minutes.

Was dark by the time we got back into

Will know next time what setup starts at 6 am really means… Got set up and started the day by around 9. Started tearing down about 5:30.

Twas a REAL LONG day. Left out about 5 am. Got there about 7:20 am their time. Nobody showed up for another 20 minutes.

Guess I have procrastinated enough so gonna go and see what I can put together for supper.

4 am is too early for me to be thinking about what needs to be done to get gone so am gonna lay out clothes and such tonight too.

Still got to get food done for supper tonight and whatever we are taking for eats tomorrow. Gonna go ahead and pack the cooler tonight.

Google says that it should take an hour and 7 minutes to get from here to there, and that’s going through Centre.

Heading out between 4 and 5 am our time to try to get there by around 7 at the latest their time. Setup ends at 8:30 so should make it fine.

Piles of crap loaded into the truck. Hope we got everything that needs to go with us tomorrow to the Cave Spring street fair.

And now to bed to try to rest. Think I still have a fever. Should be interesting dreams if so…

Clamped it into the hand vise after cutting it out and used a steel brush to clean the oxidation off. Vise works SO much better holding it.

Had to try out the tools I made tonight so spent a few minutes cutting out an arrowhead of copper on the bench pin. Works great!

Which also fits in my 3″ bench vise. Think I have done all I am gonna do tonight other than read a little more. So till the morrow… 😉

Went with making marks on the wood and just following the lines. Worked pretty good. Made a bench pin for cutting and filing items on.

Moved the band saw into the Q-hut Spent some time trying some adjustments to get it cutting straight, and failed.

Did manage to reopen the cut on my thumb but it seems to have quit bleeding again now. Think I am gonna do a bit more reading.

With the new 3″ metal bench vise, it works great for holding small pieces for finishing, filing, or whatever, without scarring soft metal.

Got the scroll saw off the shelf and after finding a piece of hard wood from a pallet, cut out a small wooden hand vise.

Think my fever is back along with the dizzies. Gonna do the couch thing with a book for a while longer. Till later…

Of the very sharp knife. After putting side of thumb back in place and taping it up, finished preping and cooking food stuffs and eating.

Decided on eggs and hash browns. Washed and peeled potatoes, then started slicing them. Got nearly done when my thumb got in the way.

Read a bit, then decided to fix something to eat as stomach was making noises and complaining about lack of food.

For now am gonna take some more time on the couch reading. Till later, folks…

Gonna try to get through the boxes and sort stuff out after while. Will try to not worry about it either way it goes.

Had hoped to have things ready today so we could pack it up tomorrow after work and be done except for the early morning drive over.

Right now am not sure if we will be up to the trip to Cave Spring to do the street festival on Saturday.

Need to get to the store to pick up a few things but think I am gonna put it off till the morrow and hope I am better/well.

Didn’t make it to work today. Seem to be on the mend now but this morning was still running a fever & didn’t feel up to the 20 mile drive.

Till later folks…

Don’t think the sinus problems are helping either. Think it’s time to hit the sack and see how the head is in the morning.

Trying to make sense of linking/knitting chain maile. Can almost get my head wrapped around it and then it goes haywire again.

Seem to have come down with a sinus infection since morning. Hoping it will go away as quickly as it showed up.

Looks like another very nothing day in Piedmont. Have had nothing but sales calls on the phone and I have talked real bad to them.

But am still feeling quite lazy and disinclined to do so. More into watching glue dry.

Found plans for a portable work bench that I am gonna see about building one similar to. Need to go out and see if I can round up the bits.

Home, after a long day with little accomplished. Got a laptop taken apart and bits that are now glued together drying.

Need to be doing something other than staring at the computer but am just not inclined to do so.

After spending Sunday and Monday out hunting a small = to or < 3″ bench vise, found one at Tractor Supply Monday evening for about $20.

Sitting in Piedmont listening to the wind howl through the cracks and slam doors.

Should have realized it but after downloading and trying to run it turns out that Libre Office won’t work on Mac G4 machines. 🙁

Got a yard sale to set up at Saturday, Oct, 23, out at Valley Antiques, so may just leave the tables and tent in the truck till then.

Truck is about half unpacked, but the bits that are left can stay there for a while without being in the way.

Well, shelves didn’t get done. Chair is still waiting the location of some screws that I KNOW I have but cannot find.

First lunch and then will see about shelves.

Thinking I should build some shelves in the back room for the totes so they can be stored in an orderly manner rather than piled everywhere.

And install and it should be a chair again rather than an obstacle to navigate around.

Trying to get the repairs finished on a chair that has been sitting in the way for several months. Got a couple of more screws to find.

Been clearing out and cleaning up a bit here at the compound today, to try to get the stuff in the truck inside and still be able to move.

Festival was a success! For us anyway, as we had cheap items for sale. Those with nothing but high priced stuff didn’t do near as well.

Some really nice Native American style pottery. Knife makers, and lots more! So come on out and spend the day. Lotta stuff going on!

Two different flint nappers. One is a vendor that has some wonderful stuff for sale. The other is a Forrest Ranger that gives demos.

There’s a food vendor that has buffalo burgers, Indian hominy, and fry bread among other things. Good stuff!

And by local I mean local to Calhoun County, Alabama. The museum, demos, and vendors are well worth a few mile drive.

Long day again at the Janney Furnace Indian festival http://janneyfurnace.org/events.html. If you’re local come on out tomorrow!
