mothers day 

       happy mothers day to my mom , Florence . many thanks for a lot of things , and i guess the most important is to know right from wrong , now to do it all the times? don't think anybody is that saintly to live there life always doing the right thing. but it is nice to know the difference . 

      sorry i had to end the nuke house thing , as i would think it interesting reading , somehow i feel most people don't share that idea. if anyone is interested i will send them a copy if you request it from this web email address : kdavis3051a@gmail.com . it is a big file so may take awhile to download. this is also one reason i didn't finish the fallout shelter as i have been doing quite well at brief subjects . trying to keep myself relevant to a certain degree to the subject at topic. it is a serious subject and does require some thought . and i really don't want this blog to be a survivalists textbook . i guess my biggest question is if an atom bomb or hydrogen bomb is a weapon of mass destruction , then the manual should have been an instrument of mass protection. cant say that this one manual so adequately covered all we should know if there was a nuclear attack. well lately i have been attacked by those animals i care about. 

     having left the door to my house open on a couple of occasions as i went elsewhere close on the farm to come back and be invaded by animals.  those ducks were the first ones , having figured out where the fish food is stored , or duck food as they know it, anyhow they saw me away from the house and with door open decided to try and venture in for a morsel or 2 and possibly leave me a duck pile. well i snuck up on them and it was like daffy duck was a keystone cop as they almost flipped out as they saw me come around the corner. 

    this morning while looking out my back window and just looking up over hill i saw first one chipmunk then another and they started playing on this indian head sculpture , and they were funny you could almost see the smiles on their faces especially at the one breeding scenario. if i had only knew or realized this also was a prelude to a home invasion by the varmints when i least suspected it. again i left the door open for a second to fill the bird feeder there normal place of nourishment, and i come back to the house and started in door and noticed one of the chipmunks in side the house. freaked out he ran inside and i chased around living room and back out the house. its not your enemies you have to worry about its your neighbors you have to watch. mine are animals. 

       i finished carving on my tiki like head , and actually have it glued back together and excess glue peeled away in picture second pic down . this will be a neat tool to know how to do as it allows me to do larger pieces of carvings by gluing appendages where i need them . i use gorilla glue and it works extremely well in this situation and is excellent for use in outside environment. 

      also this is a project i have tried once before but made the boat out of wrong wood and it would only flop over on its side . it also did a good job of sinking. well i hollowed out more of the bulk and flattened its base to make it more stable and it seems to work as it is floating. still not finished with it and have some other ideas i dont want to spoil you with . so you will have to wait and see .this is all carved out of one piece of wood with a chansaw.
