Using power equipment and cutting things up.. What not to like about that?
They took out all the wood shop equipment after my senior year. Put in a whole bunch of computers. Sad, I learned alot in that class. I use things learned in the class everyday at work. The whole point of what I'm doing with them is to bring them back to basics, show them where their lumber really comes from and what's involved in making it. In the process, we'll also show them the positive points of sustainability in the forest. I have my forester on board and he'll be presenting with me. I also have the local Natural Resources office of the USDA as well as the Michigan DNR on board to do a few other presentations later in the year if this first one goes over well. Hopefully, we'll start a trend that will raise some interest in the woodshop program, (which is an elective), as well as raise some of their interests in careers in the wood and environmental communities. chaikwa. |

Jake! Can't say I could blame her - - she was 5'4" and 120 pounds. I popped out at 9lb14oz. I was a big one from the start - - 24" long - - doc told my father (5'7" tall) you have a 6'er, sir. Well, I finally stopped at 6'4". Afternoon gang - - busy day so far - - just got in from church and lunch. Now a committee meeting in one hour. Hey, I want my nappypoo. Heidi - - good to hear from you, gal - - thought you had fallen off the hog and gone to heaven. [nonono] And instant ph00 -- who are we kidding? There ain't no such thing as ph00 that is instant. Ph00 is never instant - - hear ye hear - - ph00 is not instant. [director][yuk] So, guess I will just have to drink that regular stuff - - horrors. Normal coffee - - horrors. Oh well. See ya, Bobby |

Had a really bad storm here last night in the middle of the night... came outside this morning to half of a big oak tree laying down in the yard. It was more in my neighbors yard, missed their house and cars by inches. Just the other day they were talking about wanting it gone... guess they got it!

JAKE! C'mere, do the history thing for 'B.O.B.' (Big Ol Blake).... All dogs can be traced back 40 million years ago to a weasel-like animal called the Miacis which dwelled in trees and dens. The Miacis later evolved into the Tomarctus, a direct forbearer of the genus Canis, which includes the wolf and jackal as well as the dog. Ancient Egyptians revered their dogs. When a pet dog would die, the owners shaved off their eyebrows, smeared mud in their hair, and mourned aloud for days. Small quantities of grapes and raisins can cause renal failure in dogs. Chocolate, macadamia nuts, cooked onions, or anything with caffeine can also be harmful. Apple and pear seeds contain arsenic, which may be deadly to dogs. Rock star Ozzy Osborne saved his wife Sharon’s Pomeranian from a coyote by tackling and wresting the coyote until it released the dog. Dogs have sweat glands in between their paws. In 2003, Dr. Roger Mugford invented the “wagometer” a device that claims to interpret a dog’s exact mood by measuring the wag of its tail. Dogs have three eyelids. The third lid, called a nictitating membrane or “haw,” keeps the eye lubricated and protected. A dog’s shoulder blades are unattached to the rest of the skeleton to allow greater flexibility for running. Puppies are sometimes rejected by their mother if they are born by cesarean and cleaned up before being given back to her. Jake! Afternoon folks. Glad to see the intervention is going well, no animals being abused.:cool: A few more months of shock treatments will have have you as good as new.[laugh] |

Bob, sorry for the instant phoo. We were out of coco and mushrooms for your home brew stuff.
Scott, nice program you're working on.:cool: I had wood working in high school and still use the lessons I learned there. The thing that stuck in mind the most, wait until the blade stops before sticking your finger in the saw.[duhhh] Shop teacher demonstrated that procedure while showing us the machines on the first day of class. The band saw kinda mangled his thumb a bit.[redface] |

So that's what that plate is for on the side.[duhhh][laugh]

for the most part, there usually aren't many ants in the sugar, but there is always a few. you find them after you mix your coffee, just pick them out and drink it.. or keep them in since its something in your diet that isn't rice.
