New tools

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

George and I went to the homeshow yesterday and had a great time. I succumbed and bought a set of battery-powered tools. Thich come in a box that does double duty to create a set of table tools - in effect it is a tool system rather than a tool collection.

Included are a drill (drill press), jig saw, circular saw (table saw), and a light. It comes with 2 18v batteries.

For me the interest was in having a set of tools that could be used where there is no power.

Cozy Fire

We have gone north to the cabin for the day. It might only be a short trip but we were not able to do this before the fireplace addition.

This fabulous old barn belongs to Lou. It is absolutely stuffed with interesting stuff but is also worth the visit just for itself

This shot does not really do the beast justice. Walle can throw snow 60 feet and will eat through anything.


This is a Honda hs1336i. Each track has its own electric motor while the engine runs the auger and impeller (and the generator). While the auger has skids, the height is actually set electrically and it rises automatically in reverse.

Kickoff / Welcome

ParQuin is a contraction of Parrish and Quinn and here you see Garnet Parrish perched on the logs that will become her log cabin over the lake.

Today that cabin is our home.

This blog is simply a journal of things as they happen - or - as they are remembered and enjoyed once again.
