Thanks Mike. I seem to like to stay busy. I think it’s because when I was younger. We learned very young not to tell dad we were bored. He would find something for us to do. Realized we could probably find something to do ourselves that was more fun.

PS I really like how this one turned out and how the base turned out too

Well what do you know. The Lions won a playoff game. I’m not going to jinx them by saying any more than that.

I have mostly been doing paperwork and computer work which I really suck at. I have a hard time with it and I feel like I need a break. I have been getting some therapy with my hobbies.

Got a pretty good inventory going here for my retirement fund.

My first arrow of the year. Looks like a good shooter

Here’s another one for Bob.

The freighters have had a pretty easy season so far but they are moving pretty slow this morning. Slushy ice is trying a freeze over.

Did see later yesterday, they closed the Soo Locks for the season.  (=) Bob.

Yup the weather made the big turn pretty fast. My brother didn’t have his heater turned on in his well house. He spent several hours getting everything going yesterday morning.

I certainly wouldn’t want to be on that big lake today. Winds strong out of the north east. Snowing pretty good. It is a little warmer thought. I think it’s high teens maybe low tweeties but the wind and the lake would be nasty.

There were a lot of old timers around here that road those freighters. Think I’d rather stay on the farm. That big lake can be very unforgiving.

I did knock this spear point out a couple nights ago. Doesn’t show up good in pictures but it can see light through it and has streaks running through it. Not finished yet but pretty close.

Had to blow snow for first time this season. This cold snow blows nice.

Yup. Lake had been keeping us “warm “ enough that we got rain, snow and slush earlier. Now the temperature dropped and it is giving us snow. I prefer the snow. I really don’t like the slush and mud. This I can deal with.

I was over to my buddies shop last weekend and he was carving mushrooms. I have several friends who hunt mushrooms. Some of them like a small stone knife to use to harvest them. I got thinking.

I think they are going to like this design
