It's Finished!.....Ya Right.........

All these little pieces needed to be made up because I'm really lousy at making extra moulding.

Today I rehung the doors now that they have glass in them, I know it's hard to tell but it's an artique glass that Bic cut to fit. All those little, little pieces went all around the mirror edges (yes I had to move every glass and bottle) and a little baseboard around the posts.

I installed the last skeleton key locks on the doors and cut in the strike plates as Ken showed up and we started drinking......................at his bar!

OK the unfinished part, that's on Wednesday, the cabinet guys are coming back to change all the hinges to push to open hinges and install brass inserts for all the skeleton key holes. Also there is one place under the bar that has to get covered with stained wood to match the rest or the bar ( that's what I'll do while I harass the cabinet guys to do a good job). HA

Here's a really lousy picture of my deers of yesterday. You know, the ones that listened to my deep discussion about how safe they are here? That's moma to the right, babies front and center and who knows those other two could be last years twins to the same moma. She does look a little haggard.

No Deers Here

Yacking To Big Ears

Sorry! Blogger didn't want me to upload the pictures and I don't have the time to load up the video.
The twins came for a visit while I was working in the shop. I had been working inside and had to come out to cut a piece and they were 10 feet from the garage door with mom just behind them. Hello "I said" and mom twitched her tail and the babies moved to her. They stood there, just 15 feet from me and listened while I talked to them. I told them they were safe here and please do visit often. I knew I would never make it to the camera and have them still be there so I said, OK I have to cut this piece now, cover your ears". When the saw screamed the little ones booked it to the woods edge but mom just stood there for awhile looking at me and then slowly meandered back to her babes. There were two other deer there and they all just listened to me talk to them every time I came back to cut a piece which went on for at least a half hour. They seemed comfortable with me.

This Makes A Lot Of Sense To Me

“When you think of news as a business, except in very unusual circumstances, the sources never got paid. So the news was always free, it was the reporting of it that cost…."

“http://www.buzzmachine.com/2009/07/04/journalistic-narcissism/

"And that’s what Winer is trying to do when he reminds us that the important people in news are the sources and witnesses, who can now publish and broadcast what they know. The question journalists must ask, again, is how they add value to that. Of course, journalists can add much: reporting, curating, vetting, correcting, illustrating, giving context, writing narrative. And, of course, I’m all in favor of having journalists; I’m teaching them. But what’s hard to face is that the news can go on without them. They’re the ones who need to figure out how to make themselves needed. They can and they will but they can no longer simply rest on the press and its myths."

Brass Foot Rail On And Making Very Little Sticks.

I feel a lot more like I do now than I did a little while ago.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It lets me recognize a mistake when I make it over and over again.

Health Care (or lack of) In Our Country

"With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack our health care system and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform".

Please listen to ....Wendell Potter... It's a long, very frank and informative video that turns my stomach on Healthcare Insurance Company's and all the politicians and pundits who would fight to stop a government run health care system. He lets us know that Michael Moore "had" to be shown as a radical with a "Hollywood" label so all the facts would be looked at with possible fantasy. He admits that the movie Sicko was accurate. If you have time.....check this out too

What's really nice about this site and interview is you can read the transcript just below the video, which sure did help my simple mind.
