Getting Bored Yet?
There is only so much you can do inside before you start to get cabin fever! I have been Christmas decorating, cleaning, made hot chocolate for my little guys when they came in from the snow, watched the usual array of man shows...you know, fishing, hunting, truck and hot rod shows.....watched Shane, ate lunch, threw out a bunch of magazines that I was done with! I do alot of reading and the magazines really pile up quick!  Have not done any shoveling though.....not yet....my kids did a little on the walkway but we have the driveway plowed by the landlord which is nice!  Gonna play Monopoly with my boys next, I so enjoy fleecing them of all of their cash and property...thus crushing them like bugs!   Hey...what am I gonna do....let em' win? Then how would they learn anything? They are getting good though! The old man is teaching them the ins and outs of a capitalistic system, most important lesson......try to own Boardwalk and Park Place with Hotels$$$$$$$$$$$$! How are you all weathering the storm?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Wrote an article for the spray, dropped my daughter off at work, went to home depot for 1 item (ended up spending over 60 bucks for a bunch of stuff), went to CVS for the misses.
Just got back home,,,,BORED ?????

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

I'm not getting bored yet, but as soon as the holiday season is over the cabin fever will set in and I'll start losing my mind.

Carving plugs
I spent the afternoon carving 3 plugs (My first ever!) from an old mahogany toilet plunger handle. No lathe, so I used a jacknife, file and sand paper. Very dusty work :-) They actually came out pretty nice!

Boy Steelhead...I hope your toilet doesn't clog up on you...it will be tough to unclog by shoving a 6" pencil popper down there! Is it possible for you to post a picture of the plugs you carved?  I love ww...wwwooooood! |

posting plugs
I'll need some help to do that. If someone can tell me where to send a picture so that I can have a url address that would be great. I do some fly posting on anopther site, but the guy w2ho runs the site is out of town. He usually sends me the url address all set up so all I need to do is copy and paste. I'm afraid I'm not much of a computer guy.

How I tried to keep busy:
Trudged through 4 inches of slush to the truck. While warming it up and sweeping off snow/slush found a dead mouse on the windshield. Coming back inside stepped in 6 inch puddle. Changed socks, shoes, pants. Went to grab coffee...mouth full of grounds. Got to work in Brewster. Forgot 5 gallons of paint. Back to Eastham. Back to Brewster. No power in dark condo. Wait. Wait. Wait. Work. Work. Break for luch. Forgot cash. No lunch. Work. Work. Work. Home at last!!! AOL file corrupted. Re-install. Ice cold Newcastle. Ahhhhhhh. Look at summer fishin' photos. Realise only 119 more days till I'm out there again. Priceless. Life in all of its many difficulties, is not that bad yet.

No snow shovling for me!! Thats why I had kids!! Son did the walk and drive last night late. The rain has washed all snow away!! Well not really but I have grass on the lawn right now so there is not all that much left. It is 39* in the Hyannis area right now!
I started to build a new rod today!! Got alot done. I got all the under wraps done and the corktape on. Real seat yesterday. I hope to get the guides all done tomorrow, and the Diamond warp on the foregrip.
I am going to get new tire on the Blazer Monday,There goes another $600 bucks!!!!!!!!!
So I might try to finish up the rod on Tue or Wed.
I want to get 5 rods done this winter at this rate I will be done by the end of jan. then what am i going to do???????  |
