Was wanting to do a post about the over commercialization of the Easter holiday. Thought I'd try to find a clip about Linus and his thoughts on Easter.
Instead, I found this. Pretty much sums it all up.
Bunnie Picnic and other TV Specials
He has risen.
It's pretty much all there is to say.

Pretty good day to catch up on things, not to mention getting my March post done.
Tried to catch up on my reading of my followers. Got caught up on one (again) that seemed to make my day. Not so much for the subject matter (interesting), but for the things I learn figuring out what he is saying.

Now I'm fairly knowledgeable about tools, so when he came up with the Froe, I just had to look it up. I had seen one when I was growing up, (like that will really happen) and I had never had a chance to use it. I went and Wiki'd the Fro.
Wiki'd. Hmm. has this word evolved? Digressing Bobby, move on.
This led from one page to another and to make a long story longer, I just had to go back to his blog and see what other tools he could come up with.
And there I found the Spokeshave.

Now I've owned a Studebaker, but not the Conestoga wagon, so I've never had a real need to shave my spokes. I don't know anyone old enough who had ever shaved their spokes, so I figured I needed to learn how to do this also.
Course then I'll have to buy me the wagon.
Furthering my education, (yep, that's what I call it), I found this wonderful video on how to use it.

It is the Song of the Spokeshave. Wow. Words can't do this justice. This 7 minutes of my life was well spent.
Well Gorges, You've done me in again. Thanks for the learning experience.

ps, I'm still working on publishing links. Gotta figure how to make them say other things. Probably have to copy and paste these.

Thinking and Organizing
Hello again to all of y'all out there. Things are still progressing as usual.
Using some of my time getting my garage a bit more organized. Now I gotta let you know, it takes time to organize a garage. You have to sit out there and look at the stuff, figure out where it should go, figure out that it won't fit. And then figure out another place you can put it. Then you only have to move a few things to squeeze it into the spot, only to realize you now got a few other things that need to be moved to their "Forever Spot". (kinda like a "Forever Home" for pound puppies, but for tools). And then you repeat the cycle over again, knowing you'll get the same result. Lots of sitting and staring into the distance is needed at this point.
I finally cut the tree off of my back fence. It had fallen across a corner, but missed the corner post. New caps and top posts and it will look as good as used. A lot of thinking and staring will be required for this job also.
Well, my head is about empty. Time to head for the garage for more of that work.
