A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger... Would you rather be a sailor, or a shipbuilder? ![]() ![]() I'm mentally not suited to long voyages across the sea. I would rather build a ship. However, I don't think I would like to weld so I would rather design and oversee the building, than build it myself. One time I wanted to build a kayak. I did not have time to put into the project. There were easy plans available on the internet to make it possible. Tools for these kinds of projects might be a problem. It's better to think it through first than build if you have equipment to finish the project. Unlike Gibbs from NCIS it would not be fun to just build each piece by hand and take years to finish one boat. There is a game podcast on YOU TUBE that involves advertisements for games to build pirate ships and space vessels. After the building is complete the ships are used to fight or destroy. Quote: If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
