Mortal Shell
One day my soul will leave the body
Like an empty shell on the beach
Surf will play with my bones as a hobby
Till the sun begins to bleach
Day and night on the changing tide
With every passing wave
The memory of me will churn and writhe
A lost pearl soon to fade
The fragments...
I’ve had a few Stihl saws die like that and it turned out to be part of the retaining clip that holds the piston on. The little ear that sticks out would get sheared off by a port and then it scores the piston and cylinder. It might be fixable with a new jug kit.
Thanks Rico, the top was my first epoxy resin pour. There is no caulking, on the third coat I dropped in the sink. Funny thing is that I still haven’t put the last coat of varnish on the door under the sink. My wife reminds me about it every so often. Ha ha!
Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus verginiana) makes decent lumber. Although it does tend to split easily and it’s a little softer than true cedars, I love to make things with it…
The Forgotten Orange
I came upon a pitiful sight a fruit tree all forlorn and all it had upon a twig was a tiny, little, orange
The orange was rather shriveled it's skin was dry as bone you could tap it with a finger and hear a dreadful tone
With a hesitant sigh I picked it though it rattled...
I climb on the BDB. Hyperclimb is not very durable. Xstatic had glazing issues, bad knot ability, but functioned well in the device. Tachyon is my favorite because it is very durable, knots easily, and functions very well in the BDB.
