anudder day at home: bad weather

Its not supposed to be near as bad today as it was yesterday. That said, it is supposed to take all day to get better,,, so,

NO work today,,,

sigh,,

Whats a grumpy curmudgeon supposed to do?

Make bow strings. Thats what I did yesterday, fully intent on NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE since I leave the house, I spend money. I have some, but spending when income is NON-existent is silly. I’ll hold off on any runnin’ until I know I am offsetting any spending with earning.

BUT, I made bow strings yesterday. Been a few years and my first one was ‘Meh!’. What can I say: I’m a leetle rusty at this skill. Second one was spot on, only, not spot on,,, My loom needs remade. It ended up an inch shorter than what I was shooting for. It works, since I was trying to make a string an inch longer for this bow seeing I want to alter the Fistmael on it: the string to riser distance. Currently its at 7″ and I prefer around 6 1/2″ Lengthen the string just a touch and the fistmael ‘shrinks’. Sometimes you can do that by twisting or untwisting the string, but the factory string was dead straight, no twist at al: Makee new’un,,, (note ; fistmael is an anthropomorphic measurement. Its a closed fist with the thumb raised. the base of the fist on the riser with the thumb touching the string. I’ve become very used to using anthro measurements since I started building kayaks. It makes for a truly ‘personal fit’ in those.)

Today though, I remake my loom, so it doesn’t ‘give’ under the stresses of wrapping the serving material.

I also have some parts to pull off donor truck for the Buffalo. Not going to install them yet, but get them out where I can inspect them first. Cursory check, they seem fine, but I wanna look closer before I give the greenlight.

And no, nothing mission critical here,,, just details and whims. “I has it, use it” sort of thing.

Mostly, trying to keep myself from getting bored silly while stuck at home.

Like pulling the ergometer out and putting some “miles on” paddling, limbering up the lower back n hips, PT for stiff and uhggy shoulders. Thats limely gonna be a thing today: get ready for warmer weather soon.

Yup,,, just stay bizzy, keep’a’movin’, this too shall pass

LLLLL!
