I used to watch the dumpster divers but I’m too chicken to go do it.

My favorite YouTuber right now is a kid from Kansas that buys trucks, tractors and construction equipment and fixes them up. Westen Champlin is his name. He’s only 21, but he can fix just about anything. His daddy must have taught him a bunch he probably started wrenching before he started teething.

What got me started on him was his hilarious description of towing his mom’s Porsche to the dealer with his $800 wreck of a tow truck that was posted on another forum.

I found a good tutorial for knitting a pair of socks but for me knitting is hard! I got one and a half socks done because I stare at it so hard in fear of dropping stitches that my eyes get just wrecked.

I’ll just crochet stuff from now on.

Wintertime is approaching.

Time to bust out the crafts!

Yes, it is. I can crochet a mile a minute, but I'm a slow knitter. Especially socks. Tiny needles, small yarn, big fingers, and old eyes are not a good mix. But I did it! I knitted two pair of socks a couple of years ago. I'd have more made by now, but I misplaced my detailed notes on adjusting the pattern to fit my feet. I refuse to start over. Until I find my notes, no more socks!

We’ll have to watch Westen, my husband will probably love him.. We watch one called Cole the Cornstar he’s pretty funny. He’s starting out farming on the family farm.
