5. After my second pot of coffee...

I kinda owe an explanation. Let’s board the way back train.

Back in the old days of BBS communications, I was in a Freehand users group. Macromedia Freehand was one powerful 2-D drawing program. We were starting up our business and I was responsible for the artwork and layout of our advertising. It was less expensive if we did our own “cut & paste”. This was before Adobe came in and bought everything up.

The group had artists, copywriters and a genuine bunch of crazies. A few of us would spark creativity by random prose in as descriptive words that we could…train of thought while thinking or gazing upon a scene.
It was all just for after hours fun.

“Some people eat soup” was our sign off phrase.

Couple more days of minus temps coming here but after that looks ok enuf.
Playing around growing in the tent onions and potatoes in the ground…inside.
You’re doing your living room I’m re-organizing my workbench. Harbor Freight is my new addiction.
Working with our local Indivisible group getting ready for the next “No Kings” protest.

But cuz of this cold weather projects that we could work on in more moderate temps are pileup like drift snow in the corner.
