Ideas

 

Ideas, sometimes you have them sometimes you have none. I fell into that category lately, this week was
busy, no time for planning we are shooting from the hip today.  All week I struggled for ideas for this post and it happens to be the letter 'I' week anyway... so it only makes sense this weeks topic is about ideas and how some of the best one form randomly.

Although it was busy, I did have a fantastic week.  I managed to get out in the woods last weekend with some good pals to cut up a big old fallen log.  I had to cobble together some old door parts to make a locking handle for our new house mate.  I also had an inspiring moment after looking at the giant log I brought home and decided it was perfect time to take apart an old electric lawnmower to use the base of it as a log hauling cart. It's been sitting in the garage for years collecting dust and it worked well so I'll probably end up modifying it for some off road hauling in the woods.  Been jamming lots lately too, trying to get myself ready to eventually perform some open mic sessions.  The hardest part is getting up onstage, it's mostly nerves, and even if you know how to play folks like me tend to blank out at first, just have to ease into it. I've been on stages in the past so probably will be more worry than actual problems so I'll keep at it because it's fun.  Still have some bathroom renos to work on but I chip away at things slowly.

Here's what 15 minutes of inspiration got me this week, I want to add larger wheels, some straps and maybe an electric motor assist to get up larger inclines. That's a longer range goal but I do have a motor from this lawnmower still kicking around.... Hope you all find some inspiring ideas too, until next week, keep it tidy!
