Real Work
Well… I was planning on baking a huge batch of cinnamon rolls and freezing them. But. Cow work it was. My part was simple… I had elected NOT to ride. By golly, sometimes I’m gonna win at this Fairweather Cowboy Gig! When the thermometer said 2*… I voted to open gates, set out the CATTLE…
Weathering the Storm
Woooooh! Snow! And cold! Hiked out to the chicken coop, swept them a trail so it’s not so deep for those little chicken legs … they still like to free range and scratch in the dirt under trailers and such… guess I shouldn’t have, since one turned up dead. Its head was gone, so I’m…
Magnet Play
Playing… I’ve seen a lot of Harry Potter wood burned gifts… but, Harry isn’t my style. Since I’m rewatching, and enjoying Star Trek Enterprise, I thought I’d make myself a set of Star Trek magnets! I wanted to put this on one… from the title theme… But I think I need a bigger magnet!

Order Up!
I’m thrilled to say I *finally* finished my custom order for burned spoons! Just on the off chance that a recipient who will be getting one of these might read my blog… I’m not showing their names that are burned into the handle, nor the reverse little icon, either. I just finished the hawk tonight,…
