rdb Report post Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) UPDATE: Since the Sunday Open Thread seems to be continuing beyond it's limited life, I've just renamed it to "OPEN THREAD". If it gets too bulky, We'll start another new one. If that continues, we'll do some merges. Have Fun. dunno, to me it seems the Topic threads are starting to spread out from the original intents. Everyone is looking to chat about all sorts of things, maybe it's time for a good old "anything goes thread". Got something new...post it. Want to discuss the price of Bacon in Tasmania...go right ahead. Found an old sewing machine nobody's ever heard of..please let us know. For me, today, I have to hang curtain rods, take down the targets I have left up on the yard since last weekends "Get Rid of Old Ammo Day", and make a trash run. After the "Honey Do" list, I'm cleaning the shop. It'll probably be a "second shift" day in the shop afterwards to try and catch up. How 'bout You.

Hilly Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Gonna go get a couple ground blinds set up for deer hunting, and then go and sight in the scope on the muzzle loader my husband gave my for my birthday. Then, tonight I might work a little bit on a leather project I have going. A nice day ahead to be sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Today is catch up day for me. First, catch up on sleep, then catch up on LW, then catch up housework/cleaning. Sometime after I get done with procrastinating, I fully intend to catch up school work. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll remake the IWB holster for my Colt.....nah, I like the ugly one I use now.

UKRay Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Today is already half over for me but after breakfast I enjoyed a walk up to the town square to see the book and craft market and pick up a dozen yew wood pegs that I use as bag fasteners. A lovely old guy turns them on a lathe out of wood he picks up in Mortimer Forest. I like the idea of using local materials whenever I can. Just planted up some bulbs in the garden ready for the spring and spent a few minutes of pleasurable pontification elsewhere on the forum. I have a bag and a belt to complete then next stop the pub; but home in time for a new weekly TV program about all the US states - effectively a guy travelling through each state commentating on what he finds. It should be fascinating! 'Get rid of old ammo' day sounds like fun... We don't tend to do that sort of thing over here! <grin!> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted October 12, 2008 'Get rid of old ammo' day sounds like fun... We don't tend to do that sort of thing over here! <grin!> So....it's more of a hide and hoard what you've got, and hope nobody ever finds out about it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Oh No!!! Jordan it's too soon...brrrr, but it looks wonderful, just glad to be in NC, though, shoveling sux. I do miss tramping through the woods in a light flurry though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted October 12, 2008 I love the sound of corn flakes when eating it!!! Ok back to leather topics for me. Had a bit of a slacker weekend so slipping into my best pair of leatherworking moccasins today, I have all week free to do what I want! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClayB Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Woke up to this today. And so it begins. Jordan, You're not alone. Here's what we woke up to and it's still coming down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Just some pix of my backyard to warm ClayB and Jordan up. High 70's today (hmmm that seems to go together). Trash - done curtain rods - done sunday family calls -done floors washed -done target down - not yet, I might still need it...lol clean shop...dunno, maybe a nap first. leather related - there may be quite a few guitar straps in the near future, but at a steep price to me. I may have to finally learn how to line dance, so I can network with the potential customers at the Country Western club... sheesh, and me with six left feet, and a Yankee accent. The things I get myself into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradB Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Lets see what all was it the wife said I had to do... :-P Oh yeah: Mow the lawn and spread lime. Make a trip to storage with somethings and pick up Halloween decorations. Laundry, we all do our own at my house. Then I have to go to my mom's to fix her bathroom faucet. After all that is done if I have time and energy then I can work on my wife's purse and restitching an old bag and maybe finish the belt bag I started... Hmm.. This goes against my raising of Sunday being a day of rest..... It was cold and rainy when I woke up this morning, but the sun is out now! Have a great Sunday everyone!!

tonyc1 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Woke up to this today. And so it begins. Diff. here Jordan. it was 25c, summer is coming. There was a small scrub fire about a mile from here when I went to bed and when I couldn't sleep due to back prob. I got up at 3.45 and it is quite large now. I'm just glad the wind is blowing it away from us. Tony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted October 12, 2008 tonyc1...that is SOOOOO funny, speaking of the price of bacon in Tasmania....You have to love this forum. So many people from so many places, all just for the smell of leather. It sure is a wonderful place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The things I get myself into. There's a special magic potion available for this. It removes inhibitions, and grants confidence.

Denise Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Well, we're going out to a friend's for Thanksgiving dinner. No, we are not celebrating early. It's Canada and this IS Thanksgiving. By the way, it is 60 degrees F, (15 Celcius), sunny and beautiful in northern Alberta. No snow, and only had a few frost so far. What's with the snow down south?

rdb Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Happy Thanksgiving Denise!! Stay away from the poutine! Hate to say it, but the global warming has the whole earth's engine in a funk. Pretty soon we'll all be moving to Canada for temperate weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted October 12, 2008 I lived in the deep south for eleven years, and I don't care how you fix them, grits are gross. Every southerner will tell you their "sweet tea" is the best, too, but plain water tastes better than iced tea. My dad is from PA and my mom is from Ohio, and when I was little I lived in "New Hanpshuh" so maybe I'm just an ignorant Yankee like they said. "Grits" in this part of Ohio is pork headmeat and pinoats. You bake it or fry it and cover it with pepper. Delicious! Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
