I got involved with a bunch of details around the house here after breakfast and before I got here to write the post. This is deadly. Nothing like a plethora of little stuff to fog the mind. This is also why I’ve learned to not read other people’s blogs before I do mine. It loads too much in my little brain hopper. I’m much better and clearer to hit the blog shortly after awakening in the morning, like yesterday’s with the little white dinner jackets.

But here I am and we all know that we need to make something out of it anyway. No excuses for our team. Kind of a big day today as I am going to start the first cabinet job in the new shop today. The last two weeks of free time was used to clean, install lighting and build benches. Got the tablesaw and the chop saw set up and yesterday spent half a day in Seattle rounding up materials. So, today is the day to start making sawdust, oh boy!

I see Steve Watkins is going to start a new blog first of the year. And you know it’s the time for New Year’s resolutions. Time for a fresh start on stuff. It’s been a great year though, I can’t complain. Well, other than I didn’t get enough time out to hunt and fish. But that seems to be a given, there is never enough no matter what.

But time that I used to spend on outdoor pursuits was spent on the road being with the audiences of Phil’s Camino hither and yon around the country, well west of the Mississippi anyway. That has been pretty darn great to be with you all. The film has done so much and meant so much to so many that it is an honor to be with it when it travels. It has a definite life of it’s own.

And there are more trips to come in the next few months so warn your friends. That I know about are San Diego, Victoria (British Columbia) and Denver and Breckenridge, Colorado. Look at Phil’s Camino FaceBook page for the details. I have a couple of local showings here on Vashon. One is Sunday the 15th of Janurary at 0900 at the Episcopal Church here on Vashon Highway. The other is at St. John Vianney Church but hasn’t been scheduled yet but is in Janurary or February.

OK, have to go to town and buy a brand new tape measure to start the new project. Yup, fresh start. Loving you on a Wednesday, Felipe.
