A few edits from the cemetery today. They're cell phone photos. There's only so much you can do with jpg photos but these turned out pretty nice. Full sunlight can be a photographer's worst nightmare

Not sure why Google decides to place Phillies and Dodgers notifications at the top. It knows I'm a Braves and Red Sox lifer

Wonder when Virginia's Walmart stores started this? Why do they need to know about a user's baby registries, and their products for sexual health?

Finally did it. I truly was hoping to wait until The Rings of Power aired this season. I was a Prime member for at least the last 13 years. Premium prices for TV AND ads to support a filthy rich billionaire who supports a corrupt, vile man? No thanks

It amazes me, but also drives me batshit angry, that this administration still has people loyal to them that will do their bidding. Pure unadulterated hate, hypocrisy, and idolatry

"Didn't know"

Pardon the French but it's your fucking job to know. Probably didn't read any of it until President Obama pointed it out

She honestly should be fired, along with any other politician that doesn't bother reading what they're voting on

New bird feeder added. Made from cedar wood. The exterior is stained with Minwax Golden Pecan Stain. The food tray and interior is finished with linseed oil and beeswax

The ducks seem to be enjoying it. That one duck is like, "What you looking at?!" 😆

*Not my photo*

I saw one of these this evening hanging out on my bird feeder. First time I've ever seen one

Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Think I'm gonna set my camera gear up one evening soon

Bird feeder #3 completed

I used Apple Barrel acrylic paint on this one. Much better looking than the Rust-Oleum. I put two coats of poly-crylic clear coat on. I finished the inside and all food surfaces with linseed oil & beeswax, red mahogany stain on the roof

I made some homemade wood finish using 4 parts linseed oil to 1 part beeswax

First picture is a comparison: cedar wood treated with the homemade wood finish vs cedar wood treated with nothing

I think I like it 😁

In honor of Hammerin' Hank Aaron hitting Number 715, here's a portrait I drew a few years ago

Bird feeder No.2 nearly finished. Gotta trim the glass and wait on the food tray to finish drying from linseed oil

I don't care much for the paint I used (Rust-Oleum). Some of its still tacky 3 days later. The red is too saturated

Pic 3 is linseed oil vs nothing

Quite a bit before AI, no tablet

Charcoal on Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper

And trust me, portrait drawing did not come naturally to me. I had to learn, study, and practice extremely hard. And I still struggle

Except for the ridge caps, construction on the cedar birdhouse is completed. Ton of mistakes but I'm satisfied overall. I got my gable ends off which caused my shingles to be off. Now I have to do something about the ridges. Probably apply stain this weekend

Worked on my cedar birdhouse prototype this evening. I meant to give the shingles little dog-eared cuts but got ahead of myself. Learning a ton from this one too... like add a couple more rafters so that I can nail the shorter shingles to something 😆

Trial, error, winging

So...

Fixed my mistakes with my covered bridge bird feeder. Probably wait til warmer weather before applying linseed oil and beeswax. I learned a lot!

Also started on a two story bird house

Covered bridge bird feeder prototype, using cedar. Twas going okay until I didn't cut the glass wide enough 😆

Apart from building concrete forms and remodeling, this is my first real attempt at woodworking. Lots of trial, error, and winging it. I'll fix it tomorrow

It's been three weeks since a massive system caused major flooding, destruction and death in eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, and southwest Virginia. Just today it hit me why Virginia hasn't received anything from Trump's FEMA...he lost Virginia to Harris. And yes, he is that petty

Another day of shoveling 10" mud and hauling with a wheelbarrow. Almost finished. Another good day should have it finished

Current situation. Water has never been this high before. Had to evacuate. It came quickly. Two people have lost their lives so far. Still under a severe flood alert until 8:45pm

I was dreaming about flooding a couple of nights ago

There will be massive damage. I wonder about the FEMA situation 🤔

Ridiculous

Here is some. I've never tried the Clove or Beemans. The Teaberry is really good but the flavor only lasts about 10 minutes. But the Black Jack 🤢
