2022 what did you do today?

[kennym]

DAMN !!! Hope you heal up quickly!

Looks like a staff infection there. Pretty serious stuff. I wish you a speedy recovery.

 I got staff in a little figure I cut pretty deep skinning a deer years ago and spent 6 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics. They were talking about cutting off my arm over that.  My finger swoll up so big the skin split….. talk about painful..

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Of all the Damn things..... Nobody sells Popsicle sticks anymore I know its goofy, but they are all I use for stir sticks. They work good also. I think the last box I bought must have had 500 sticks in it. Cant believe I have to buy them online!

Guess nobody makes their own popsicles anymore

[B-JS]

I use leftovers from my core lams.

[Kirkll]

I use a 1" paddle bit in my drill with the point ground flat. It mixes EA 40 real well. 15 seconds in the microwave, and about 90 seconds with the drill & its creamy and smoooooooooth....as in smooth on....

I bought a bag of pop-cycle sticks from Big Jim a few years ago...maybe he still has them.

I found these on Amazon.com

Dave.

[Roy from Pa]

Great, now Flem will be making popsicle's.

[Crooked Stic]

Scrap core sticks.

[Mad Max]

Amazon is "shopping at the house" everything is there

[Shredd]

  I been using the same stick for about 4 years now...  They don't go bad...  Just wipe it off when you are done...    

[Longcruise]

Hobby lobby sells them.

[Flem]

I ordered 1000 of the little devils. Should be a lifetime supply.......... maybe.

I’m in Shedd’s School of Reuse, same sticks forever.

I’m in Shedd’s School of Reuse, same sticks forever.

  It's kinda like the principle of the whole thing or how long can I make this stick last...  Plus it's always better for the environment to reuse things as much as possible...  We live in a throw-away society...

  I have a stick marked 'A' and one marked 'B' for using smooth on...  I use the sticks to dish out the resin...  I usually dish out part 'B' second so that is the stick I usually mix the resin with... Wipe them both off when I am done and I am good to go for another round...

   Flem...  If I just used them only to mix resin those sticks would last me about 4,000 years...   

[Crooked Stic]

So ya must be about 2000 now ??? 

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

So I hobbled outside and shot my bow today for a few rounds. Got me to thinking, I need a really short bow now, in case I ever do get disabled and have to shoot from a seated position.  Shortest I have is a 56".

Thinking a short draw, heavier poundage to end up around 40lb at 24".  Shot my grandsons 48" longbow drew to my nose and it was rather quiet fun!

[onetone]

Good to hear you’re feeling better AH!

Not necessarily today but..

Moved into our new house last weekend and finally have my own shed/garage to get back to work in. Only down side is I have to share with the new heat pump hot water system, so I'm contemplating a "dirty" and "clean" side and throwing up a partition in there to keep the dust out of the good stuff. Plus that will give me somewhere to spread my fly tying gear, RC equipment, batteries and other goodies that require a dust free environment for optimum longevity and performance (whatever that is  ). Can shoot indoors to about 7m/20' with a bit of care so I've grabbed my light bow and a few arra's out to find out how much form I've lost in the last year or so 

I can finally go get my staves and log stash that the folks have been patiently babysitting for me for the last 2 years or so - even a large tree taking out the shed they were stored in hasn't caused any damage. Got some nice osage and ash with my name on it 

Kinda eyeing off a few trees that need to get cleared too. There's certainly plum, ornamental cherry (weeping vertical form) and ash, plus I'm pretty sure there's a hornbeam there too that might be on the chopping block - if so I'll be keeping the cherry at least as it's beautiful timber, plus the hornbeam if it gets slated for removal.

Got 10 weeks or so of long service due this year, so hopefully can get a few projects knocked out while I've got the time
