Like I really needed any more reasons to not move back to #Florida. Sorry, Mom.
So far, so good. The pen drill worked well for setting the pegs. Hardest part of making this basic lap loom was measuring the spacing in bad lighting. Even with a neck lamp the counts on top and bottom were mismatched. Was able to make a 1cm wide band to fasten around the frame which was slid to mark both top & bottom peg locations in pairs, thus ending the one-off counts.
Okay, 15 & 23 are both out for the night. Cat is fed and napping. Got plenty of SF beverages, and a variety of NatGeo/Nova/History Channel episodes to enjoy. It's time for the measuring and drilling to begin! 😀
Yes, that is who you think it is. Sincerest apologies to the Amish and Mennonite communities.

Looking forward to the arrival of an early birthday gift to myself. First project, a basic lap loom made from a recycled wood picture frame, is ready to happen. Been fighting impatience; at only 8mm apart, hammering brads into the frame would likely split the wood. Why manual drilling? Focus, plain and simple.

“Oh….Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” White began. “Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.)” he continued. “Have a great day at work today Margo Martin. And as long as I’m here, a double f–k you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum. You should lose every military family’s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore.”

A couple more plots harvested with the bounty from their labors. One from a gentleman who never in his life had the opportunity to have his own garden. He is so proud! The other from a young single mother on her own for the first time struggling to keep food on her table. She and her young one have a few fresh vegetables to enjoy. Both of these folks have sought to keep on keeping on. 💜

Time to scoot along. A few more hours at the Community Garden should do the trick at this point in their growing season.
The success of their plots this year is so gratifying to witness. Food insecurity nipped in the bud, one plot at a time. These folks are so proud of their gardens. For me, seeing them able to feed their families is just the best gift.
Later COSO. Go do something. 💜

Man, the right is bad this internet thing. The "Never Walz" group didn't think about securing the domain....

People who feel that they need to tell you, a lot, that they're "perfectly normal" are usually pretty weird, and not in a good way.
Normal people don't even think about being normal. People who are weird in a good way are happy to admit they're weird.

It's not really a contest between the Democratic party and the Republicans: it's an effort by anti-American forces to overthrow the Constitutional government of the USA, with GOP complicit, and Democrats defending.
