I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

More wisdom next week,

Wednesday Tools

Posted on 09/28/2016 by Andrew Reynolds

Nothing happening in the shop this week, but here’s a picture of a tool I’ve had since 1972. It was the first pair of pliers I owned. Bought them myself from money I earn mowing lawns.

70’s pliers

Yes, you can still buy them today, but these are mine and no you can’t borrow them.

I painted the number eight on them along with the letter ‘A’ because my brother and I used the same workshop and he kept stealing my tools so I did an inventory and marked mine.

I didn’t need to, because when he moved out later in 72 he left all the tools behind for me – still have the vise-grips and hammer.

Hopefully there will be a real project next week.

A Few Holiday Snaps

Posted on 09/25/2016 by Andrew Reynolds

It’s been a great time so far, except for the cold I managed to get this week. Mostly over that. Here are a few pictures of the country lodge we stayed at this week:

Back of the lodge

Here’s the front door:

See, it’s “the lodge”

And finally a view from the top of the hill nearby:

View of the countryside.

We’ll be on the road soon and I’ll be back to writing next week with a post on either potatoes or weddings or possibly about hops and the adventure of the Hop Pocket.

Till next week,
Andrew
