Inspired by Richard Proenneke’s documentary of his solitary life in the Alaska wilderness, I replaced the handle on one of my most prized hand-tools. While I took a few shortcuts — no tree was harvested in the process, and I used the electric drill, and I worked under artificial light in a cozy 65 degree basement workshop — I take much pride in my accomplishment. See below.  Thanks for the video, Jeff and Anna-Marie.
The first flakes were seen here yesterday afternoon. Nothing stuck, but it was a “chilly” reminder that winter approaches. Bob and Lyn enroute to Michigan for a short getaway drove through white-outs. Early (maybe earliest) lake effect snow in Buffalo NY was mentioned on yesterdays weather. Brrr.
I thought the grandsons would enjoy these elaborate versions of the “marble run”.

Just noticed that we’re becoming a food blog. Maybe we need a new hobby. . . . Think I’ll bake some bread today.
