Also no longer complaining about today's rain. My jeans will dry....
Mine are almost dry. They're hanging in front of the wood stove, along w/the quilted shirt I was wearing.

Crazy. You just don't think of flooding like that this time of year. It seems backwards and out of sync.

Congrats on the booming business. It's reassuring somehow that people still buy and appreciate quality and craftsmanship.

Pics of the farmers market or last of the season of local goods...

Picked up a couple quarts of apple butter, some cherry cider and a couple gallons of apple cider.

I have been working on a couple projects as some of you know that are 100% green, 0.000 impact or footprint on Mother Earth with a gain to my wallet. I now have a 100% water based clear coat that has no impact on the environment other than trace elements, and has 0 impact in the air.

The second project is a solar idea, a simple outpost light on a 15 amp circuit, works great. I have tied in several lights that are dusk to dawn around the shop to the same circuit. :rolleyes: Up until the recent snow, it was doing good and I was looking forward to a going green news letter to clients. The light burns 13 hours and the power starts to die.

I plan to lower the watts in order keep the energy. The total cost of this project was just under 4k and I should get that cost back within a year.

Still getting my head around battery/solar power verses plug it in and go. I am learning to be more aware of any energy I use now. I can say I have taken a lot for granted in my life.

The new windows are great!!!!

Same here, especially since he called it cotton candy. I was thinking it was the weirdest cotton candy I had ever seen!
