Miles

It has been a good week for me.  I managed to get off my ass and walk just about every day this week.   From Monday to today, I covered 45.03 miles.  It's not a record-breaker for me, but it is the most I have walked in a week in many months.   Hopefully, I can keep after it.

Other than that I have been occupied with work.   I did start a new project.  I am building a balsa wood aircraft model.  We will see how this goes.  Never done one before so it should be fun.  I haven't gotten very far, so there is not much to show yet.

Oh, I did finish a project that was a lot of fun.   I painted a silhouette of Aemon.  I think it came out great and will be looking to do more.

They Call me Aemon


Go LEO

I came across Leo one evening when searching for new music.   This guy is pretty amazing and I wish I could play a single instrument and he plays them all and sings too.   Go LEO!  I love his contacts as well.





Second Chance

Cufflinks

Well, I think I finally have my process worked out for making cufflinks.  I made about 40 different pairs this weekend.   This has been trial and error over the last six months, but I finally found the parts I needed and a couple of vendors to order what I need.


I got my assembly all worked out so I can make them quickly.  It cost me $1.98 per pair to make these cufflinks and they look amazing.   
I am not going to explain what I do to make them or the parts I order.  These are for me and at some point maybe I will see if I can sell some.

Shinedown - Through the Ghost

Trying to get back in the groove of blogging and thought I would start off with music I am listing too.  This is one of my faves and wanted to share.



Speak of the devil
Look who just walked into the room
The guilted and faded
Notion of someone I once knew.
All the perfect moments are wrong

All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us
Did you hide yourself away?

I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the color of your soul
Did you hide yourself away?

Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do
So many silent sorrows

You never hear from again
And now that you've lost tomorrow
Is yesterday still a friend?
All the bridges we built were burned

Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust…
