"You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them." - Thomas Hardy





I mentioned in yesterday's post that on the way home from Seattle we stopped in Aurora to pick up some reclaimed (they look old to match Fred's vibe) 2x4's so I could make a ladder to access the loft in Fred.

I spent yesterday morning doing the tedious work of cutting the dados in each of the sides at just the correct angle, took a break for lunch, and then went back out to assemble the ladder.

Anybody else notice a problem?

Sometimes my ineptitude makes this kind of FAIL predictable.

We'll make a run up to Aurora Monday morning to get another 2x4. As an added benefit it gives us a reason to stop at the b'fast joint in Harrisburg that serves great BACON!

One of the hens has learned that she can escape Lucky by running under the end of the deck that's up against MoHo, where there's only about 8" of height clearance. She's also learned that when she eventually comes out he will be waiting for her.

If you're a car guy you'll like this very good, very well illustrated explanation of the differences between turbocharge and supercharge systems.

Indiana governor Mike Pence is officially Trump's running mate.
How ambitious does someone have to be in order to accept that offer?
