Wow So long and no post.... I remember trying to post at least 3 times a day.... and it has been over 6 months.....
Well 2010 is over.... thank goodness... that was a HARD year around here....
I was traveling 100 plus miles a day to work on a broken turd factory... I removed nearly 250 feet of oleanders ... big ones around the back yard... and well a ton of other stuff....
The insurance company was better than I expected after the thieft.... I will stay with the company...but the next time I change the policy I will be changing agents....that man screwed the wife and I royally...
but the point of this is to put 2010 to rest.... last year I did something I am not proud of.... I quit several things... that will be the year I gave up on several things.... the whole halloween thing is sickly twisted.... I decided to do zero, not a single thing for halloween....and 2 young folks twisted my arm to do stuff.... and those 2 folks came up MIA on the big day.... leaving me up the creek.... so 3 other youngsters stepped up and made the day for me if no one else.... so this year if they get involved there will be a halloween here... if not it is done and over...
even if I dont do a halloween thing here I might go ahead and make some more props.... last year I sold all the big stuff and I made money on them........ and folks asked me to make several other things.... who knows I like building stuff so that might become a new direction for me....
I have a couple great ideas I want to try.... BUT one of the cool things I have been doing this year is focusing on getting the garage cleaned out.... Im real close .... I mean REAL close... this weekend should see the new shed in the yard getting all the yard decorations and yard tools moved out of the garage.... this will reclaim nearly 100 square feet of garage space.... almost 1/4 of the total.... silly as it sounds this will mean turning the mill on and and not worrying about the chips making a fire....
I was thinkin it might be fun to do some urban pranks.... my first idea was to make arrow heads and drop them in the area parks when we are walkin around.... but I dont think that would be a good thing it would encourage folks to take things .... not a good idea.... so thats out... BUT I did see site where someone has been posting TMNT party posters on random sewer lids.... I could do this.... I could even find some old unused lids to place in fun places.... ohhh the possibilities.... but hey thats another not alone thing... I would need help for the heavy stuff... but still.... hmmmmmm
night for now....
later and have fun
