Saturday Fish Fry

I can only get a fraction of what’s going on in my life right now on this blog. I’ve never had so many things going on. I run from one thing to another. As I’m walking to my shop to get a tool, I spy something in the garden that needs doing, and I do it, forgetting the original task. It’s great!

In no special order, in addition to the publishing stuff, I’ve been making knives, that is, putting handles on Russell made-in-USA carbon steel blades, the last one with brass rivets and wood from a manzanita burl; making neck pendants out of abalone shell; getting my 12′ aluminum Klamath boat with 15 HP Evinrude back into the water after 20 years of hardly using it; skinning road kill animals, and treating (cleaning, bleaching) various animal skulls: foxes, skunks, bobcats…; doing homestead maintenance, which is endless, but of late, gratifying; listening to a ton of good music—boy between Grooveshark and YouTube, it’s a listener’s paradise; been digging clams, catching the occasional eel; making sauerkraut, pickled onions, smoking salmon and eels when available; trying out marijuana tinctures, other ways to get cannabinoids without smoke (or even vapor); hiking and paddling (not often enough); hanging out with my friend Louie when I can, going up to stay with him in the Mendocino woods in a few weeks…that’s just a small part of it all…hey, here’s what just came on, “Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky (From Now On)” by Lee Dorsey: https://grooveshark.com/s/Everything+I+Do+Gonh+Be+Funky+From+Now+On/4CPbfd?src=5
