Overrun By Cats
Jade's kittens have been moving off of the back porch and roaming around in the trees now. Yesterday their Uncle Momo (our Japanese Bobtail cat) taught them how to climb trees. Now it's all they want to do.

Pipe Making
It's raining today so I don't have enough power to do much in the workshop, and can't work on my other projects outside ... so I tried my hand at something new. Pipe making, as you may have guessed from the title.
From some scrap wood I had laying around I was able to carve out a decent enough pipe. Certainly not bad for a first try. So I'm going to go back to the University of Youtube and see if I can't learn a little more on how to do this, and then find some pipemaking supplies online and see what's available.
It uses all the tools and skills I already have and handcarved pipes would be a nice addition to my shop, I think.
Here's to expanding your base!

Time to Think
One of the problems with the internet age (and there are many) is the lack of time to sit back and ponder.
A person asks you a question or makes a statement, and you respond before your thoughts have fully had time to gel. Some questions could take ten years or a lifetime to answer properly, but we must respond within minutes.
This hurried thinking and speaking is foolish and I wonder what it is doing to our minds when we do not have time to pursue thoughts down and properly digest them. A man whose food was not properly digested would become sick; do not our thoughts need also time to digest?

Garden Hoe
I must get back to the hoeing of the weeds, or else soon I shall not be able to see the garden, much less harvest in it!
A sharp hoe, a cold glass of tea, and many long breaks makes the work easier, but it doesn't accomplish as much as a sharp hoe and a strong back.
