Another benefit of being retired

Being old and retired means A) I have my own shop, and B) There are no kids around, therefore C) I'm the only one that uses it.

Re: I'll see if this generates any interest

I've been making lawn art for years.

The "business" part of it has pretty much eluded me tho. Everybody comments "how cute!" but nobody reaches for their wallet.

Re: Picked up my annual "Winter Project".

cxshop.jpg Today's task was to make room in my heated shop to wedge the bike in so I have a warm place to work on it.
