just got back from Winchester Bay & So. Jetty. The beach was very nice ... good wind for the kite and sunny skies for warmth. Pics to come.

The boys want me to play nerf guns ... Oregon Ducks vs. The Beeeevers. Of course they ask me to be on the Ducks side, to get me to play.

DeWalt Nail Gun? Sweet!

New DeWalt Nail Gun?
By J.R. Bluett




Just thought I would show you a picture of the new nail gun DeWalt just came out with…this baby is a Man’s Tool!

It can drive a 6-D nail thru a 2 X 4 at 200 yards.

This makes construction a real breeze — you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.

Just get the wife and kids to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with a cold drink — when they have the board in the right place, just fire away.

With the hundred-round magazine, you can build a fence with a minimum of reloading.

After a day of fence-building with the new DeWalt rapid-fire nail gun, the wife won’t ask you fix or build anything else.

We likey. Just make sure the fam is wearing safety goggles, and some Kevlar.

"The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom,
And with all your acquiring, get understanding.
Prize her, and she will exalt you..." Prov 4.7

Proverbs 3.13-18

How blessed is a man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.

For her profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.

She is more precious than jewels;
And nothing you desire compares with her.

Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are pleasant ways
And all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those
who take hold of her,
And happy are all who hold her fast.

"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it." Prov 3.27

Craigslist is the best! Today, I gave away an old Snapper lawn mower, sold old shop lights, and sold old locksets from my house. Total=+$20.
