It is finished

Mwuaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha I am the cast master................wait no that was taken by Ben.....I am the copycaster.

I have built a forge, because my brother Ben made one a while back and I got to mess with forge.It was simple enough to set up, I just hadn't got around to doing so until a couple weeks ago when i started and I got my main part (a clay pot ) yesterday.

I set up my forge, melted down some aluminum cans, and cast my Lee ingot as seen in pictures 2 and 3. Next I need to make some molds and cast some trinkets.

Cool a job found me

Yesterday while in transit during my job, my friend Jake called. He was wondering if I was still looking for a job.(I was)A rancher came into the feed store he works at and asked him if he knew someone looking for a job. He said "yeah I've got a buddy looking for a job"(or some such)well the guy called me today and was wondering if I was interested(yep) and when I could start.(uuhh, I'm free all day tomorrow) okay i will be working goats tomorrow.

This after I had paused in my job search for a while. A job came looking for me.

This was good because my brother in law Stephen I work for may soon be switching jobs from truck driver to pilot car driver,this makes me as trailer rat/loader/unloader obsolete.

When I had heard that Stephen would be switching jobs I asked God to provide me a job, and this looks like the answer.

Not Quite A Rabbit

I will start out saying I'm at my parents up in Arkansas.

A few minutes ago I went wandering the field in search of rabbits to pop with my .22 pistol.
Well I didn't see any rabbits so i started going back to the house, and I scared a rat up.I raised up and fired right before he ran down a hole.Surprising to me I got him.Well, since I got him I decided I would skin him out.(I've skinned out a fox and a coon before this so I figured i would get some practice.Besides no use wasting a perfectly good rat pelt.) Well the skinning process was uneventful, a little tricky because the shot broke him and his back legs came off. But I think it's the best job of skinning I've done. But I did leave him his tail. Now his pelt is in my mom's freezer.(I'm sure she appreciates it)

Now does anybody know what I can make with a rat pelt? A computer mouse cover maybe.

My favorite book of the Bible is Genesis

The longest walk I've taken in one day was a little over twenty miles.

I would like to eventually get a woodworking shop(but tools are quite expensive)

The book I last finished was "I kissed dating goodbye" by Joshua Harris

I will eat anything(some things are more palatable than others)But I can still cook pretty good if I do say so myself.

Contact

I have been contacted by the people at the Concho Pearl movie.I was called eariler and was asked if I was still intrested in working on the pearl,and I was. They said they need stage hands ang gave various positions.(I suppose I will find out what all I will be doing later)Before I was called I had given up hope that I would be contacted,despite the fact I have been kept up to date on movie progress via email.

I will keep you updated as the situation develops.

Ever feel like you need a new way to hurt yourself?

Today Stephen,Becky,Tyrel,and I were wandering around the Buffalo Gap flea market and Becky and I went 50/50 on a new toy.A unicycle!!! After we bought it we got a few comments from other people wandering the flea market.
When we got back to the truck I had to try my hand at unicycling.
Using the truck for balance I managed to stay on two or three seconds before it came out from under me. It turns out that I had people watching me, I know because they started clapping and laughing.

After getting it home I got it adjusted, and have been finding my balance and can almost ride it.

In other news, lately I have been hearing a bit on getting on with the wind farms. I had been kind of hoping to commit to one in Australia for two years but you have to be twenty one to go overseas for them.I may or may not be able to join on here in the states, I will be looking into it.

Oh yeah the old method of hurting myself was nunchucks. I can manage to not hurt myself with them so i should be able to conquer the unicycle
