I know a lot of 'em are probably bots, but it's weird being right on the precipice of 1,000 followers for the first time since I started using social media in 2009. The highest I ever got in 14 years at the Bad Place was I think 480-something.
Thanks for following me, turkeys! #HappyThanksgiving

Major framing and structural woodwork done. Time to apply the base coat. The Gentleman homeowner seems pleased at the progress of Hellmouth Homebuilders LLC.

While drawing up the plans for my new project, I thought to myself while taking over the breakfast table, "I sure wish I had room for a drafting table." Then I saw this at Michael's yesterday and have since realized it can double as a laptop computer/writing desk too and now I am SO tempted . . . 😬🙈

Thanks for the lead! I was actually on the hunt for large (old mantle-clock-size) antique (19th century–early 20th century) brass clockwork with a nice patina like this:

Success! Tim found one for under $30! And though I'm ripping out its internal clockwork for my project, I'm gonna fix up the case and replace the clockwork with a modern battery-powered mechanism so the entire clock will have a new life.

kinda like a cloud
i was up way up in the sky
& i was feelin some feelings you wouldn't believe
sometimes i don't believe them myself
& i decided i was never coming down
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
it was just about too small to see
but i watched it way too long
it was pulling me down…

I hope
He never lets me Down Again.
Promises Me I'm as safe as houses,
As long as I Remember who's
Wearing The Trousers.

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face
What would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and Jesus and the saints
and all the Prophets . . .
Just a slob like one of us

and all the Prophets . . .
