Deck Completed

Thanks to Matt Drahms (Irondequoit High School Tech Teacher) and Student worker Harley, we were able to finish this deck before July 4th. A lot went into this from planning, demolition and finally construction. I played the role of simple laborer, where I learned many new skills and muscle aches.

Family fun in the pillow pile.

Welcome to Harbor Fest

2 most useful books I've held

I received this as a gift today, my buddy had ordered one, but received two copies, and they said just to keep them. By far the most useful book I've ever held besides the: "ADK High Peaks Region Guide To Adirondack Trails".

Glass Fusing

This was first attempt at glass art, I fused colored glass and clear glass, then re-fired it in a mold to "slump", or create the concave depression in the middle. It's titled: "Hurling Our Instruments Toward Space".

Weird drive home.
