How'd it go today?

[stig]

Give me a break.
Some idiot on a backhoe clipped my land line and the new software won't let me log on from my phone.

So if I'm a bit off from things happenings, it is not only because I'm stupid.

 

[pantheraba]

Just in addition to....

I interpreted the "just us" as y'all being the ones without grandkids....I'm kind of stuper, too.

 

[stig]

Thanks, Gary.

I feel better, now.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Trying out my new basket weave stamp.

I am horrible at this....but I like it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Groovy beans!

 

[lxskllr]

Looks really good Jim. Do a lot of leatherwork?

 

[FireFighterZero]

No! Just getting started.

 

[lxskllr]

Leatherwork's cool. I've made some crude pouches and stuff out of old boots for work purposes, but nothing I'd show out in public. The arts elude me. I'm pretty much a hacky technician with everything. I'm envious of people that can make things look/sound good.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Well, you wouldn't want your glasses very clean if you were gonna look at my leather work.


Its terrible!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Or, just squint your eyes like I do when watching pro 'rassling!

 

[Dave Shepard]

Looks good from here, Jim.

I want to try workiing leather. Maybe this winter, if I've got the spare bucks. I've got a lot of axes that need sheaths.

 

[Jonny]

Very cool Jim.
I’ve been thinking about getting the stuff for tanning, looks like it’s a lot of work, but might be a fun and satisfying hobby. There’s tons of deer hides that go to waste around here. Everyone harvests the meat and occasionally a head if it’s worth mounting, but no leather.
I don’t hunt, except pheasant a long time ago, but got enough friends that hunt deer, there’d be plenty of free skins.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Did anybody get any trick or treaters? I had a gang of thugs with their kids, all in street clothes and Walmart bags knocking on doors. I didn't answer. They coulda at least got the kids cheap plastic masks and one of those halloween pumpkin candy holders - 99 cents apiece.

 

[pantheraba]

My grandson and his cousin and 2 friends....all decked out very cool and Halloweeny...T/Ting together. No others, though.

 

[pantheraba]

Here you geaux....

It rained all day, but stopped in the afternoon. They were calling for more rain and a tornado warning, with some beefy winds(I pulled some hangers out of my locusts with my throwline to be safe), so the turnout was somewhat reduced. Got 34 kids altogether. I have a box of Toblerones left. We don't get tons of kids, and it's a little stretched out here, so I started giving full size bars a few years ago. It isn't a huge expense, and it makes it cooler for the kids, so I figure why not?

[Ryan]

We had about 80 kids. I walked the youngest and some of her friends for a couple hours and ended up hauling around a bag of 15 cans of pop to lighten their load. No one ever handed out pop when I was a kid.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Who wants friggin soda? CANDY!!!

 

[Fiddler]

Snowing here...no one, but that's normal...we're an industrial drive now with only four houses & no kids so not worth it for the T&Ter's .

 

[lxskllr]

Rain's really coming down now, and lots of wind. Had one really loud lightning strike, but nothing since. Laying in bed with my phone. I usually go to sleep to music, but I think I'll listen to the storm tonight.

 

[Jonny]

Aww Roscoe looks so sad!

 

[BeerGeek]

We had about 20 kids tonight while I was home. Stupid orifice job took away my teleworking so I probably missed a bunch. Looking forward to being a tree monkey full time next year so I can schedule accordingly and get the full shebang.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Halloween has been dead for decades here. That group I mentioned earlier? They were all I saw tonight walking my street.

 

[Bermy]

Its not a thing in my town...few decorations in the grocery store but thats about it.
