So, that makes you one nut short of a funny farm?

My shop troll is apparently also involved in woodworking--it is always taking my tape measure and pencil. I just wish it would get frustrated by the condition in the shop and clean it up a bit. Wait a minute, maybe I haven't been making as big a mess as I thought. What in the world is it building?
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Oh yes, shop trolls are know to steal tape measures. They also often change the numbers on tape measures. Maybe that's why I so often cut wood incorrectly..............ya think? :lol:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

:rofl: :BE
Must be it. Trolls. I have even looked in the fridge. Not one nut shy but two. I had an extra. No funny farm here. Well I guess it was funny cause I decided it must be under the trailer and got my hand in black gunk. Touched the fridge, and the door and the bowl in the sink, and the sink handle, the zap bottle and a few other things. Seems the madder I got the more black stuff appeared on stuff. :roll: :duh:
:grouch day1:
Oh yeah and it rained too hard to pick up my side wood. :cry:
Then I realized the drill wouldn't tighten the bolts completely.
Yep you guessed it, not did I get my knuckles once, 3 times on the same bolt. :DOH2: :baby:

How to know it is break time. Good thing you guys are here to cheer up this thread.
