Nice.
It warmed up well into the 50s in Denver today, but instead of having fun I spent my time in the sun working broken water pump bolts out of a Ford V8 in a van with a hammer and cold chisel.
I stopped at the $1.39/lb. Goodwill Outlet thrift store today, hoping to find some computer cords for pennies. I ended up with yet another Singer sewing machine. It's old enough I think it will have power to sew through thin leather, but new enough to have the option of two needles, which means...
Sounds really warm and cozy, doesn't it?
Just wait until I figure out how to make my images smaller for upload. You'll be thinking, "This guy needs a barn out back."
You really shouldn't be outside without a hat, brother. The sun will get you every time.

Over the years I have switched enthusiasms as well, Hector. In fact, the evidence is still around cluttering up the joint.
Because of that my wife has been very resistant to my collection of hats. After it created serious tension between us for quite a while she seems to have mellowed...

Nice job, Terry. It looks great!
Between stretching to size up and pouncing, do you thin a Western weight felt closer to dress weight?
That's some nice, even, small stitching. My back issues register down my arms into my hands, and I'm also developing arthritis, mainly in my thumbs. It huts to...
