Weather, or not


The weather did turn off pretty nasty, but not near as bad as it could have.  It got to just below freezing with light rain coming down.  My old compadres from TxDOT were out closing some of the overpasses due to ice.  No major road closures though.  Glad all the TxDOT folks made it back home safe.  We were sweating out whether Kim would be able to make it over to the resort.  Last week was not profitable and the previous week she was to ill.  So she really wanted to be able to get there and try to make a little.  This time of year it is very little.  The resort slows down and not a lot of guests.  This weather helps Kim with the guests that are there.  They start looking for something to do since the weather has kept them inside.  And there she is with her crafts and she loves working with people.  She would probably do it for free she likes it so much.  Well maybe not free, but you get the idea.  She was able to go as the roads never froze, however, there wasn't much business anyway.  Seems to be that way every January for some reason.  Grateful for what she was able to do anyway.

I was able to spend some time working leather.  It was a perfect day for it.  I think that rifle bolt carrier is going to be pretty nice.  I got the tooling done and it's oiled up and waiting for a resist, antique and then stitching/lacing.  Another couple days and it should be done barring any interruptions.  There is no hurry on this so it may get interrupted anyway.  I am getting antsy for a long drive with maybe some good Bar B Q as a destination.

 

Happy Trails.
