weathered wood, thanksgiving and Bill's unisaw
Dang I stay gone a few days and Bill gets a Unisaw- Congrats.
I skipped out to Florida for Thanksgiving and all the associated festivities that go with it. In my traveling around I came upon this is Carrabelle, FL, no chainsaw, no pickum up truck and no backhoe, all I left with was pictures. I like this sort of stuff and the pictures don't do this field of gold justice. http://www.woodwrangler.net/beachwood.html basilisk |

Invariably covered with epoxy pour on finish a half inch thick. I even worked for a place that produced this crap, the first piece I saw, I liked, it wore off rapidly after that. basilisk |

I refer to it as part of nature's art and prefer the works as is, no or little "enhancements". I may collect some pieces, these days, but usually just the small stuff, not the truck loads or large pieces I collected long ago.
Walking along that beach would be nice. Sonny |

Last I visited, this past summer, the misguided folks in charge had commissioned an exhibit of gaudy, glass baubles by some pseudo "artiste" glass blower, with more hot wind than artistic sensibilities, and populated the entire naturally beautiful surroundings to the point that you could not take a photo without some garishly colored colored piece of glass being in the frame. It was so disturbing to the usual, and natural, beauty/peace of the place that I jokingly asked for my entry fee back, and apparently was not the first. I did write in their guest/comment book that was on exhibit was not "art", but "arrogance". -- www.ewoodshop.com (Mobile) |

There's a $100 loading fee for some tools. http://irsauctions.com/index_lots.as...tails&id=17452 BTW, are you a War Eagle or Bama fan? I don't recall your mentioning either. Sonny |

We lived in Auburn from '08-'12, so my wife was going nuts at the end. ;-) I only watched the final quarter or so. My alma mater got beat by Northwestern. Oh the embarrassment! |

I do hope that since Auburn has put Alabama out of the running they can take the championship. I live on US 82 about 24 miles from University of Alabama, when you consider the population of Tuscaloosa doubles during a home game it is a major annoyance for those of us that aren't that interested.

The AU airport fills up with corporate jets the day of the game (no scheduled airline service since it's only 70miles down I85 from the Atlanta airport). The Alabama fans (both stripes) are simply amazing. ...and that's in a losing year! |

Ironically, that was done by someone living close to Auburn (though a 'Bama fan). The idiot bragged about it on a Tuscaloosa call-in sports show. They turned him in. To the credit of the 'Bama students, they sent a pile of $$ to try to save the trees. It didn't work and AIUI, the trees came down this fall. |
