DwightT Report post Posted August 6 Hi all - Been gone awhile dealing with life stuff. But with the heat outside lately combined with the smoke from the wildfires all around us, my wife and I have been fairly cooped up inside for a while. To keep from going completely stir crazy, I decided to make myself a new wallet since the one I did last year didn't quite have enough card pockets. I took the pattern from that one and made it a little longer, then added an insert to hold my license and insurance info. The nice part with that is that I can pull the insert out and only take that if all I need is my license and insurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mablung Report post Posted August 7 I like it. That insert is a neat idea, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aventurine Report post Posted August 7 (edited) Nicely done! I'm awful sorry about the wildfires affecting you and your wife. The news emphasizes how that smoke plays hell on people with asthma and those living with long Covid, but it's bad for *everyone* so I am glad you can stay indoors. My sister got me a one-room air purifier that I at first thought was just trendy nonsense but it is making a huge difference for me in the office. I am changing the filters very often, which is expensive, but I can sure feel the difference on my lungs. I recommend getting one.

We have a fairly decent air filter on the house HVAC system, so if I keep the fan running to circulate the air through it we typically aren't too bad in the house. However the Air Quality Index hit 202 this morning, which is very unhealthy for everyone. It may be time to run away and try to find some cleaner air. /dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well since fire conditions are decades in the making, I seriously doubt that it's any one administration at fault. On 8/8/2024 at 8:15 AM, Gezzer said: Nicely Done !!! Is the inside ostrich ? Thanks. It's actually glazed pig skin. Makes for pretty decent wallet liners. It's kind of stiff at first, but loosens up over time. I made a small wallet for my wife entirely out of the stuff and it's working out quite well for her. /dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
