I’m on the lookout for a Mustang again. Preferably a 64 1/2 – 66. Already
found a couple locally that look pretty nice. Unlike last time, I want this
one to be running and drivable from the start. Not having a garage
or easy access to my dad’s assortment of tools (and for that
matter, easy access to my dad) means fixer-uppers and
“great candidate for restoration” or more or less out of the
question.

Made yet another dangerous discovery about ebay. People
sell tools there. Lots of them. I like buying tools. It’s kind of
like buying books. A surrogate for actually doing something.
The unfortunate thing is that most of the tools seem to be
of the crappy flea market variety and generally low quality.
And it can be hard to sense that from pics.

Here’s a shot in the dark. Anyone have a email or mail
address for Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard? Haven’t had much
luck googling…

Skipped lug last night. Went to the trivia thing at King’s
Monday. Finished tied for 4th from last. Not too bad
for a two person team (other being deviant_)
with a max team size of 6. Ran into jason0x21.
He said nice things about my doodles.
Much appreciated.

Spent today generating kickstarts that don’t seem to
want to cooperate.

Things to do when your bored.

Scan small things at insane resolutions. Kind of a weird cross
between macro photography and Jasper Johns.




Hours of fun for the whole family.

Drove up to Virginia to visit sisters family. Nephew is now
6 months old and seems to be doing well.

Made some progress on wood carving project #2. Probably a bit
too time consuming, but an interesting diversion. Think the next
one will make more extensive use of the dremel to speed things
along.
