Last of the Summer Weekend Projects

As I got home today, and set my groceries down to fish for my keys, I could hear the local high school marching band practising in the distance. Makes me think of that White Stripes song about going back to school. Anyways, here's a short of my last weekend project of the summer: a guitar I made out of an old neck and a couple of brownie tins. Many thanks to cigarboxnation.com for tips on how to wire it for use with an amp. I will definitely be making more of these!

As the Summer Winds Down

The temps are still in the hundreds, but the days are noticeably shorter and the talk of football is back. A nice weekend with not too many responsibilities left me no choice but to brew and bottle, and sail in the last race of the Summer series. It's been a while since I was under sail and without a paddle, and it felt good. Projects are limited with the number of hours I will be taking at school this Fall semester, but I'll see what kind of adventure I can cook up for the Winter break. Any ideas?

A 10 Foot Trailer for a 40 Foot Boat -

Hmmm... looks like some balancing will be in order. Here is the new (used) trailer platform for Long John Silver (name is not official) and a stack of lumber. We will soon begin building up a trestle on which to carry the new 40 foot aluminum. Wish us luck.
