Good choice. Nice work.

Processed Pecans


End of last year.


16 lbs

Picking up pecans kinda paid off. Good exercise. Good to eat.

Pecans Vacuum Packed



Then sent to the freezer. Kathy made another pecan pie.

Went to bed in Arkansas, woke up in Winter/Wonder Land.

School closed today and tomorrow. Snow, ice, and really cold.

Lost track of the vacuum packed pecans. Opened the freezer and found them. Hum; time to hand out frozen packs of pecans to some friends.

Finally after 7days the temp is above freezing. We’re just not used to this type of cold weather.

Unfortunately, my forecast now shows rain for the next 5 days...

Yea, but I’ll take rain over ice and snow precipitation. My winter riding has been heavily curtailed so far this year.

The winter blizzard has passed, so back in the machine shop at ASU-MidSouth. Practicing turning, tapping, tapering, threading, etc. to make this hammer on old school machine shop equipment. Used to work as a job shop machinist 40 some odd years ago, back in the day.

Your hammer came out great Barry. It is a nice “project“ to bring back into the machining world.

Thanks; Ain’t done yet. Just the prelim’s. Trying to get my mojo back. Operating old school equipment without a lot of pressure on me. I’m a pretty fair fit 70 year old. Really kinda sad. I’m working in a fairly decent college machine shop. By my self. Not one other soul in the place. Other than the the lead instructor, who is teaching ‘one’ student in CNC machining. The hammer is still in process.

Empty except for me and my roll around toolbox. I’m speechless as to why.
