The concept of State Trees originated in 1893 as states were a relatively fresh idea.

March 4, 20197 yr Popular Post I got the pens made using the .308 shells my friend had given me. I also had a couple .30-30 shells and made pens from them too. May get to making a couple bowls this week. You can see the pen thread here.
March 4, 20197 yr Went to the granddaughters band concert Sunday. This week I'm just waiting out the latest cold spell. Waiting until it warm some to get back in the shop. Edited March 4, 20197 yr by LarryS

March 4, 20197 yr Popular Post Oldest grandson & I went out to eat after Cub Scouts Friday night. Pinewood racer is going through technical inspection over the next two weeks. Finished another (#3) of @Buckaroo's Wiregrass & Grits series. Whacked another possum and tossed it across the fence across the road. Some errands after church on Sunday. Week ahead: Normal stuff; Shop is closed...y'all know the rule "If your tongue sticks to the metal, too cold to work." Grand-daughters asked me to attend their Swim Team banquet Wednesday night. "Free" meal so I'm there. Oh yeah, shoveled the snow @lewmissed just West of him.

March 4, 20197 yr Went to bed Saturday night feeling a little dizzy.... woke up Sunday with full-blown vertigo! Son took me to the doctor this morning. He said it's just one of those things that happen as you age. I called him a young whipper-snapper and tried to hit him with my cane, but got dizzy and missed! Came home with some medication to try. Almost gone now. No power tools until the room stops spinning! John

BTDT; that was 15+ years ago so it just doesn't happen to "aged" people. NOT FUN...took me 3/4 months to return back to "normal." I had to do exercises where I'd lay flat on my back on the bed with my head hanging over the side until I felt like I was going to barf...straighten up, then rinse/repeat. BTW...kiss your pilot's license goodbye once your gyroscope has become unhinged.

Lasted just a few days and never a repeat. You are under strict instructions to get better right quick, eh! Edited March 4, 20197 yr by hatuffej
