I enjoyed Steve's story the other day. It is interesting to here aboutthe things we all do when it comes the hobbies that we enjoy, and thefamilies that we share life with..Three or four month's ago I had acquired about 850 bd ft. of 2x8x16spruce boards to be use on my piet project. Needing about eight feet tofinish the roof of my work shop I used one of the boards as it wasavailable and I had to finish the project.( if I need that spruce pieceI will tear my roof apart to get it ! ) After cutting the board andusing half for the shop, I was curious to see what the spruce would looklike for the piet. I proceeded to cut a slice off the other piece about1/2"x 1" x 6". I then sanded it smooth and noticed how light and strongthe spruce wood piece was, all the while envsioning myself building ribsand other airplane parts. Then I was interupted and stuck the piece inmy coat pocket. During the day as I worked in my wood shop I would oncein a while reach in my pocket only to be reminded of the wood piecestill there and then start to build airplane parts in my mind again! Asa couple weeks past I would find that piece still there from time totime and start to daydream again. The other day my wife came over to do the usual paper work for ourbusiness and said she was cold. As I had already worked up a sweat andshed my coat, she promptly put my coat on. About ten minutes later shewalked around the corner and asked me what the wood in my pocket wasfor! I hesitated answering, trying to figuare out some quick replywithout having to come clean as to why I really kept that smooth pieceof wood in that pocket. Needless to say I just spilled the beans, sherolled her eyes and left the room. But I know she was smiling inside asshe left but I didn't notice. I was dreaming about ribs and--Check out Crusader Toys @http://www.thegrid.net/crusader/_______ ... __________
