Man's Work


The table that I use to make models was put to another use today.


She has me putting sequins on skating costumes.


This stuff is actually pretty cool. I'm wondering how I could use it on a car.


 Right now though I have to get it stuck into a bead of glue without making a giant mess of the thing. It's not as easy as it would seem.



Not bad for an amateur.

Woodchuck

 They say it's going to get cold. I'll be ready.


 Someone thinks she is helping.

 She's really just stealing my gloves. I've learned to bring a spare.


 Chopping and stacking is tough on the back.


Having that pile is worth it though. It's going to be a long winter when it starts this early.

Man Versus Tree


 We have a very big limb that has broken off a very tall tree. The problem is that it is stuck in the leaves.

Another problem is that it is dangling right over her beloved Mini.


 Thinking I could do something about it, I climbed into a nearby tree and tied a rope to it.


 I had on my bike helmet. She thought that was hilarious.


With the car safely out of the way I gave that tree a yank hoping the branch would dislodge and fall out. Did it? Nope. Now we can't park on that side of the driveway until it falls down of it's own accord. Damn branch.
