    My laptop is comatose

    I use a 1TB external hard drive for backup. Cost me $50 and I've only used about 20% of it in 6 years.

    What's everybody doing today?

    I'm right there with you. Woke up to 8F this morning. 20-30mph wind. I haven't even opened a door all day and have no plans to do so. Going down to 6F tonight but we should be recovering to around 28 tomorrow. Maybe I'll venture out, maybe not.

    What's In Your Toolbox?

    I never cared for icing on cookies. I sprinkle colored sugar on them for a bit of contrast.

    What's In Your Toolbox?

    Tools I have covered. Growing up my dad was one to fix whatever needed fixed so I learned the value of having tools for various needs. I've traveled light most of my life but tools are something I invested in; that and guitars. :D I have automotive tools mostly but have most of the carpentry...

    Been MIA for awhile

    Hey Dave! Big changes here too. That's the reason I've been gone all year. AuntJoe and I split up and I'm living alone now. Working on getting set up in my new life. Life is good here too. See you around the board. :)

The jars were acquired at estate sales for a few pennies a piece. I have them split between home and the hunting camp. There's something that is...
