Gate in progress-2010*

The new pavement got the lines painted today-so only lacking the painted on bicycle symbols now-but perfectly usable bike "lanes" they are...into town or to MKT trail. I found a sewing machine (a Singer 293 B-made in France in the 60's-recently cleaned and tuned) via CL for $35 and the sweet owner took time to show me how to use it. So, instead of crossword puzzles to challenge me brain I'm going to try an learn to sew something using a machine(funny-I used to say welding w/a mig set-up is like using a sewing machine...but really I had no idea). Simple hems on some material for curtains for the house and camper is all I want really. There's a gal on line I saw who has an industrial machine and she commented how she got her men friends interested once she showed them her machine could sew 1/4" plywood.
