Rob’s Update: Happy Halloween
Greetings all!
Sorry about no post last week, I had impromptu grandbaby duty that lasted longer than anticipated. Oh, darn, more grandbaby time!
It’s been a productive couple of weeks. I’ll send off a short story later this week. I made progress on the bigger projects too, plus did a bunch of cool stuff around the building.
Last weekend was the annual cleanup weekend where the Community Empowerment group gets dumpsters and encourages us to take advantage. Well, take advantage I did, getting six truckloads of junk out of the basement.
Yes! The basement. It’s not totally clean yet, but it’s close. It’s a big, open space of about 100 feet by 30 feet. My plan is to turn it into the wood shop. The existing shop is nice, but it’s cramped. This won’t be cramped.
Later this week, I’ll be recording a Blasters and Blades podcast show. I’ll get to talk about some of the gods I created for Okkorim and I’m excited. I’ll let you all know when that gets released.
Of course, it’s Halloween this weekend, which means trick-or-treating. That’s so much more fun with a grandbaby, just saying.
I’ll be pushing along on the various projects during the days, all of which are coming along. It’s a good time to get things done around here.
Happy Halloween everyone!
What I’m Listening ToWe’re watching the Addams Family, the original TV show with John Astin and Carolyn Jones. This particular one is the Halloween episode with Don Rickles. Brilliant stuff. Here’s wishing you some happy gloominess!
Quote of the WeekHappy birthday to Charlie Daniels. I bet you can get this week’s quote, because it’s perfect for Halloween.
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
‘Cause Hell’s broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
– The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Charlie Daniels
