When I Build My House….It’s Gonna Be a Party….

Here’s a really nice video from Jeff Waldman.

When I do a project, I hope it’s like this…a bunch of friends around for the heavy lifting….weiners on the grill.

Usually, though, it’s just Jenny and me when we do a big project.

We repaired the gable end on the old barn…and Jenny was the one up on the ladder….holding the  end of the 2×6 while I screwed it all up from inside the barn.

Of course, I didn’t screw up with my screwing it all up.

We did a good job.

That’s spooky being up high on a ladder.

Jenny can do it.

It’s a party of two when we do our work.

I don’t remember any big crowds around when we were working like that.

I mowed some over on the property yesterday….pushing a mower….getting some exercise.

There are a lot more efficient ways to mow 6 acres than using a push mower.

It does give the neighbors something to talk about, though.

Seeing me out there doing that must be kind of funny.

You work with what you have, I guess.

A party is a fun way to build something.

We have fun working by ourselves….imagine how much fun a party would be!

 

Flathead

A buddy mentioned this guy about 30 years ago to me….before my marriage….before the kids came….before anything, really.

It’s funny how things stick in your head.

Flathead….aka Ned Landin.

Here’s an example of a guy that I would stop my walking and give a listen to if I almost passed him in the street….singing his song….playing real good….”for free”.

This is good stuff.

Here’s a link to his website….https://www.nedtv.com/

Dave 2D….smartypants

Awwwwwwww.

Here’s a smartypants, for sure.

Of course, he’s a potty mouth, too….so if you get offended easily, look away.

Don’t watch this if hearing a more than occasional F-bomb offends you.

Here’s some folks spending big bucks for a vanlife conversion….and getting made fun of it by Dave.

Funny stuff.

Soul Music

Here’s some soul music, for sure.

Jonny Lang….That Great Day….live.

Man, I love positive messages….and this is about as positive as it gets.

Here’s another one from a different show…this one featuring Tommy Sims….and….Phil Keaggy!

Good stuff.

 

When I Use a Chainsaw….

OK.

When I use a chainsaw, even if I’m being careful, I sometimes hit a rock or a piece of barbwire embedded in the log, and my chain is dulled almost immediately.

It’s easy to do…even if you’re being careful.

You can’t cut much with a dull chain.

When the chain is dulled, it sort of rubs through the material you’re cutting.

When it’s sharp…it cuts.

When it’s dull…it doesn’t cut.

Get it?

Here’s a movie where the evil character saws though the roof of the van, and when he’s ready to start killing again (which is all the time), his saw slices through everything in his reach like a hot knife through butter.

What kind of chain is he running?

I need a chain like that chain.

I don’t want to hurt anybody, but I need a chain like that.

I found that part of the movie highly illogical.
