thinking of quitting

     I've been working on my dust collection system for the past week because it needs to be done and I can't really come up with anything to do as a wood project . As many of you know I am a school bus driver and school is out for the summer so I have all day to think and plan. I am coming up with things to build its just a matter of having all the materials at my dissposal so that I can. I will post a couple of pics of what I have done with my dust extractor later this week. In the meantime look over some of my older projects. I will answer any questions any one might have or if you just want to leave a smart ass remark that would be OK too .It would be nice to see if anyone is looking at this blog. I might just stop I have not decided yet.....................................Rick

flower bed

Well we got at least one flower bed done . Still got 2 more to build but that will be at a later date . My Wife and I both have back problems and we need to heal up a bit before we start on another. My wife did 90% of the work and preferred it that way I think . Time to start another wood project , don't even know what it is yet.......................................................Rick

Raised flower beds

                    Things have rather hectic around my place for the past few days ,My wife and I are building raised flower beds in our back yard. We are building brick retaining walls, while nither of us knows anything about laying bricks It has been a real learning process thats for sure. We have almost finished the first of three I will post pics later. I want to let her plant a few things in it so you can get the full effect of the land scaping..............................Rick

clean up / new project

  I have not done any wood working this week I have however , been doing a lot of clean up in my shop. Sometimes you just have to set aside every thing and clean up so you aren't tripping over every thing on the floor. Even though I have several trash cans scattered thru out the shop I can never seem to hit one when I have scrap that I need to dispose of besides the floor is much easier target to hit. I have decided on my next project and I do believe you will all like it. I will start that process next week  Wed. the 23rd.Hope you can stop by and check it out......................Rick

I have been racking my brain for weeks now trying to figure out what it's going to take to get people such as youreselves to follow me I've tried to stay away from being too politcal eventho whats going on is driving me insane .I 've tried to put up more post in the hopes I would say something that some one likes. Instead all I get is a blank screen on the comments. So tell me is the subject matter boring or typical and not unusal I have not yet moved too video which was on my mind but then you would probably throw rocks at you're computers. Should I tell you I oppose Gay marrage , Should I say I think we as a nation deserve more proof that Bin Laden is dead other than what the government tells us. Should I say "my Daddy he disowned me because I wear my Sisters clothes. He caught in the bathroom in a pair of Panty Hose"  May be I should just keep building stuff for no one to see Yea Yea thats it.................FOR NO ONE TO SEE........    I do have one person who comments from time to time and agrees freely with me Thank you Dr. I am sorry you are in pain.......................Rick
