While going through our cleaning and cleaning out a friend stopped by with an amazing gift just what a chubby Cajun loves to see.

I know its just Tuesday every where else but down in Cajun country its Mardi Gras in english fat Tuesday. The tradition started back in the pre refrigeration days. Since its the day before the lenten period Catholics would throw a clean out the smokehouse and root cellar party Lent was a period of strict fasting and sacrifice and they didn't want stuff to go to waste. So they partied and celebrated the day before beginning a 40 day fast. So that's how it started and now its a big drunken debacle. So now ya know. Happy Mardi Gras yall! 
Been a long week of rain and warmer weather. Got my gunwale strips on and bolt excess cut and ground off. I've got to attach pieces on so I can mount my thwart then put pieces on top the gunwale edge, and then put in new seat. Drawing pattern out for thwart attachment piece. Maybe make back rest for it also? Back rest in the future of course.

Curling..... who knew?
http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2018/02/curlingwho-knew.html
we are currently playing fancy pants we lead by 1 and in the 5th end
They call it sweeping but to me it looks like sponge mopping

Each to his own I guess I find my self enjoying it.
What little I have watched curling it kind of grew on me. But then the only times I have watched it was winter olympics and that is in February. Not much else to do. Like bowling, there's a lot more too it than just hucking the ball down the center of the alley.

Today we beat Canada in overtime. If ya remember that they are shooting 2 or 3 turns ahead when they place the rocks it begins to make more sense. Big womens match fixin to start so ice down a few and cock back and watch. It's kinda exciting.........maybe
Got home from work my usual 7am. Wife going to sub at school, so I hit the basement for an hour before bed. Glueing my top gunwale rail on, of course a few galvanized Brad nails help along with bunches of clamps. I still don't have enough clamps though.
I wish I was camping, like some people.

Got that right ya ole fossil you! We are still hard at work house de moldifying. Very tedious to micro clean every square inch and every lil thing.
We are in a Febuary warm spell and its been in the 80's all week I am building a small burn fire in my ole fire pit and its too hot to stay out and tend it I just run out and put a hand full of branches on it every once and a while.
Thankfully the women are playing a very tough south Korean team right now exciting stuff.......almost

If you own two dozen Jorgensens, invariably you'll wind up on a project where you'll be four short.
Well, black ash is not a good hard wood. I thought all ashes would have close to the same properties. I did finish the gunwale trim, but the seat will have to be made from a harder wood. Live an learn. I'm not giving either, just taking a break. Rubbed in some danish oil on the gunwales, and I'm happy with it.
