I have an electric kettle; it is called a Keurig. I use it to heat water for both tea bags and instant hot chocolate. Works great!
Sorry, I haven't been active the past few weeks as I am recovering from a crushed vertebra from a fall. Five minutes on my feet and I am in agony.
Hope to post new pictures of my lambfoot soon.
Good evening guardians, hope you are having a good weekend. I have to go back to school, i recently posted what is not allowable in the Guardians thread, i have deleted said thread and put myself on notice. I have to redo my learning of the threads rules. Hope you all have a good and safe week, and please take care.

Good evening guardians... Haven't checked in for a while, but while putting the finishing touches on a couple of slingshot frames I thought of my friend Jack. Been using the lambsfoot to clean up some rough carving marks and round the tops. In the left is a honey locust, and the left is sugar maple...both taken off of removals we were doing when they caught my eye before going into the chipper.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Great to see you here Willie, and you did a great job on those two slingshot framesI hope we'll be seeing more of them
Have a good week my friend

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekendWine and a movie on the menu at Grumble Towers last night, and I managed to get my Christmas lights up, which was a bit of a struggle with my back - a far cry from 1977, when I put up most of Sheffield's Christmas illuminations, over a period of several weeks!
Have a good week Guardians

Beautiful crisp pic of your Hartshead Barlow my friend, I hope you get your chores done![]()
Thanks Jack. Just going through a lot of my tools and automotive stuff and cleaning house of the things I don't use. I must have over 100 screw drivers; so it's time some of them find a new home(s)
They sun came out just now - for how long, who knows?

I must have 100 screwdrivers, unless they're emigrating and not just hiding. I have to keep buying more.

I've always said that your HHB is the bomb!With me its hammers, I probably only have a couple of dozen, but that's a lot more than I actually need, and they take up quite a bit of space
I also have way too many hammers like you Jack. Got to give some away.
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing OKSticking with my Hartshead Barlow

Gets dark here earlier now with the coming of winter but not at 3:40 PM like where you are! Yikes!Can be a very depressing time of the year.
I've always said that your HHB is the bomb!
