Pretty easy chore. Unscrew one... screw the other in place.
All done. Took all of a half hour I believe...
It does have a lil' better function I guess. The spout rises high enough now that you can get things under it to actually put water into 'em, or rinse 'em out... without a struggle. ;)
'course... now I've got parts left I'll have to either find a place to store until I can give it away or...
or bring myself to bring the earth to a crashing demise... by putting it into the ~ GASP! ~ Land Fill!
Know anybody who needs a lil' water filter?
It'll probably be out on the desert around Bouse come January...
This week I've been finishing up that Journal work I started way back in Montana this past summer...
Built the Stitching frame and stitched up the book block on the Clearwater River...
Then, between unexpectedly not finding leather along my route... and piling sugar beets for a month... the work got suspended...
With the solar batteries replaced, the bad taillight on the truck R&R'd and that faucet swapped... I got back to doing something enjoyable...
Carving leather is a satisfying craft. But I've also reminded myself, in my quest to rebirth my leather shop...
...Carving and working leather is a perishable skill. I need to polish up my skills a bit. I've been away from it for too long I've found. It's gonna take a few projects to get the muscle memory warmed back up again... but it'll come.
Along with shaping leather, journaling is a satisfying thing. There's something in putting your thoughts down on paper that gives their meaning a clarity and power in your own mind that holds a special power. This journal's been built to serve just that purpose.
This one was a special request. I need to whittle up one for myself now. Hopefully that'll have my leather carving muscles warmed back up sufficient to do work I'm satisfied with... and the market whetted for the building of another few here and there to contribute to the diesel and pantry coffers a mite.
While that is simmering along...
... Monday or so I'll be heading back out into some empty Arizona far country so I can get deep into another major project... Novels #5 and 6!!!
Always Moving
Brian
