Kid's Creations

Thought I would share a couple photos of the type of woodworking Kid did.  It was amazing the type of inlay he could create.  Notice the detail.

This is the first thing I had asked him to make, a writing table.  The table is made of Mahogany, but each of the inlay pieces is an exotic wood.  Kid cut and shaped each of these pieces.

 I am re-posting this from earlier, with some updates:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those that still visit the Kid’s blog site:

This is Kid’s wife.  To honor him I am attempting to update his blog.  The main reason being how much this site meant to him and all those he was in contact with.

Thank you to all that have been his friend, I know how much each of you meant to him.  We had many “discussions” about how I thought all of you were more important to him than I was!

Bear with me as I am learning to navigate the blog by trial and error.  I want to be able to respond to comments that have been left, but haven’t figured that out yet.  I still haven’t figured out how to leave messages/comments on the site which is why it is just a post.

Update: 

I think I have figured out the whole issue I was having with comments.  An email arrives stating "A New Comment On" and gives me the option to Publish , Delete, or Report Spam.  When I select publish, I can see it on the blog and respond to the author of the comment post.  Does that sound about right?  Let's see how it goes moving forward.

No Politics Here

Take a break and enjoy just a few space objects among the trillions floating around out there.

As always, click the pick to go to the APOD website and read a description as well as click the pic there and get a very large version where you can play "Find a The Pope a Inna The Pizza' among other exciting cocktail party games.

30 Short Years Ago From Today

Nothing surprises me, but I do still wonder on occasion how in Hell we ended up here with three imbeciles in the top three positions of government and an entire government leadership which is corrupt, criminal, anti-America and actively selling us down the river to our enemies like China.

Well, enjoy this look back.

This is as he is leaving office of course.  It is clear to me he wasn't suffering from dementia.



It's The Science !!



In another video, two recent high school grads whose favorite subject was Science answered Jay's question of "what is bigger, the sun or the moon" with "The Moon".

I've personally seen people buying a 64 oz bottles of water labeled Smart Water for $1.99 at the market.

Is it any wonder these young geniuses will believe anything they tell them?
