Last one I got... Not counting the brad nail that went in low and hid under my watch band...
Step one: Find it
Step two: Measure it so you know you get it all
Step three: Extract using ice cube, sharp blade, hemostats and a fan blowing directly on my sweaty gonna pass out ass...
Step four: Measure extraction and compare with first measurement
Step five: Drink liquor

I don't have a micrometer or hemostat, but Russ's advice is what I've been giving myself for the last hour.
Thanks.

So, my wife came home from work and she took a look at the hole my grandma had hacked into my thumb. I've been seeing a big piece of material in there, and grandma had been picking at it with a needle. Llama took one look at it and went for the tweezers. What I thought were two splinters was actually one that went in through the base of my right thumb and came out about an inch lower in the meat. She grabbed onto that puppy with a pair of tweezers and the sliver that came out was the same length as the distance between the two punctures in my hand. A through and through. Good times. Love you Supertopo.
1 1/4'' by my reckoning, in one point and out another. I'm thinking the huge muscles in my hand deflected the tiny spear and sent it shooting out the weak side of things. Lol.

Hocking beat me to it, but Step 5 should also be Steps 3, 5, and 8.
You guys need to get the really pointy Xacto blades. You slide it in at
the entry and start cutting to relieve the pressure. You gotta do that
when you get one under a finger nail, too. That's really fun.
No splinter matches the 40' x 2' diameter destroyer drive shaft that pinned
my shipyard machinist friend against the bulkhead. He said he could feel
his ribs compressing his guts and didn't know which end they were gonna blow
out of. It was OK, though, he's Norwegian.

Progress on the garden towers. All the pockets are shaped and I found some pipe for the worm composters.
Still needs, pipe fittings, legs maybe casters, soil, worms and plant starts. I've probably got 3 hours of labor and $60into the project. (Barrels $40 for 3, pipe $10, gas $10). The fittings will probably cost $30. I may spend $20 per barrel on movable bases, but it can be done nicely with a 2"x4"I'm expecting that the Soil, Plants and Worms might add close to $200 per barrel but that's a wild guess and I'd definitely like to spend closer to $100 per barrel. I think that they require 7 yards of potting soil. I did just score 5 bags of dry leaves. I guess that worms and composting benefit from leaves(browns).
I'm mostly going to guess at a garden plan. Probably just plant it all in basil and poppies;)

This is the last usable iteration of Gypsy. You may recall that I started a remodel at the end of December when I rented a workshop and moved out of the trailer. Then Snowpocalypse 2017 Januburied happened and....
um.......
mistakes were made.
Jump forward a few months. Gypsy and I are living in Reno. I've got a decent job and house. It's a good thing because remodels are damn expensive. I'm looking at upgrading the axles, brakes, hubs and wheels. To the tune of about $2000 dollars. Ouch. It's given me 10+ years of good service and it's just time. I'm living a stone's throw away from a full service utility trailer store.
Now, I've got to put this mess back together and put some lipstick on this pig.
How many lugs does it really need?

That's very nice F! Pre-stained Spruce or Cedar?
Is that PVC soffit vent? The solutions or options regarding closed rafter bays has always been a challenge if not using stucco.

I was tearing the ceiling out of an old cabin and got clocked on the head by someone's old collection of Hustlers...I had a hard time resuming work...I also found a 1932 LA Times with an article on Adolph Hitler...Should have kept that one...

Nothing spectacular, but....
I did it mostly with crap out of inventory. I did have to buy the 4x4s, the hinges, and some screws, but everything else came from the stupid "save for a future project" pile(s).
Take that deer.
