New workbench storage — I have finally updated the storage area above my workbench. There used to be five plastic cat litter boxes on the shelf. I made these five wood boxes in an afternoon, so the finish isn’t furniture level, but they fit the space well and look much better. 2
Hitachi C10FR Table Saw — My next project. It’s a very well-used worksite jobbing saw, and it is time to make some improvements.
Rumpled — I loved the play of light, how the duvet mimics the shapes of two people lying back-to-back, and the stories implicit in the folds and wrinkles of the duvet and sheet.
Nightstand. Lighter, knife, and wallet — Little quirks that may be missed when I’m no longer around. And yes, I do lay them out like this every night.

Sunday cleaning & oiling. Sig Sauer P938 – I’ve been trying to get my hands on a P938 for a long time (over a year). Everywhere I’ve checked they have been out of stock. This is the 9mm version of Katie’s 380 Caliber Sig Sauer P238 handgun. 2
March Hibiscus – we moved our hibiscus plants inside for the winter and they have rewarded us by flowering every now and then.
Bedroom Plants – Same old story, I liked the light.
Fronds and bottles – Testing my new cell phone’s camera in the dark. +3

Storm clouds over Ozark – checking on the radar, the storm was nine miles away over Ozark.

My lakeside camp at night – I love this spot.
Setting up camp at dusk – The sky is so light because the nearly full moon has already risen.
Camp Life – Journaling – Today was one of the few times I’ve actually got round to writing in my journal while I’m out backpacking. 5 pictures
Chapel Cross – St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Kansas City, Missouri.
Ginger recently undertook a project to make a vessel a day for 100 days. Most days a new vessel of some sort would appear on my desk. The vases came with flowers, and the pots came with small plants. One-minute read, 2 pictures
