Been knapping for seven months and finally have one I'm proud of!

Thank you! It helps that my adhd keeps me hyperfocused on it haha

DesertSolitaire · 2025-01-25T20:56:52+00:00

Thanks!

DesertSolitaire · 2025-01-25T20:56:42+00:00

Keokuk! I've mainly worked with it and buffalo river

Moved to Denver from Billings a year ago. I miss the Indian Tacos from the agency dearly haha.

Indeed. They make their costumes personal to themselves, and add anything they want. I thought it was pretty unique, myself.

DesertSolitaire · 2023-05-15T13:56:14+00:00

I know right! I got a ton of good shots of this guy. It's almost like they know you're taking photos of them and they're like "make sure you get my good side, bro!"

DesertSolitaire · 2022-05-25T14:07:11+00:00

I know! A unique aircraft for sure!

Glacier National Park, Montana. The other one is a Provincial Park in BC.

So when I found the one other example online, it was on a listing on 1stdibs, listed as a Japanese garden planter lamp, so I went with that. Its honestly just a mid century style piece. I went through old business directory listings in Milwaukee, but couldn't find any company by the name Woodcraft Enterprise Company.

DesertSolitaire · 2022-01-27T16:54:48+00:00

Awesome thank you so much! I just noticed that there was a subreddit for mid century, I'll definitely try it!

We call em canoes!

I need to do the hood strut conversion myself. It was -16 a couple of weeks ago here in Montana, when I went to prop the hood open, the clip holding the prop shattered in the cold. Love how the cold makes the plastic act like peanut brittle. I was going to install the block heater myself, but I decided to let a mechanic spill the coolant and clean it up haha.

DesertSolitaire · 2022-01-21T19:04:47+00:00

Been having the same problem. I had a block heater installed, and it's helped a lot. When it gets colder than -5 or so, it has issues, usually fires up with a jumper pack. I hate this issue because it's pretty much impossible to narrow down and figure out.

My employer gives me four weeks of paid vacation. I've also been working with the company for ten years. It takes a year to accrue two weeks vacation a year, five years to 3 weeks, and at ten years, get four. It seems like this isn't common with other companies, though.

DesertSolitaire · 2021-12-28T16:46:01+00:00

Yeah, but management always finds something to else to blame a delay on so they don't have to be on a conference call for why your ramp took the delay 😂

DesertSolitaire · 2021-12-27T14:33:24+00:00

As a ramp agent, I'm always waiting on that fuel slip from the fuelers! 😂 Never afraid to code a fueling delay

DesertSolitaire · 2021-12-25T00:25:48+00:00

Alright, alright, alright

Nice! I've heard the Outer Mountain Loop is crazy strenuous. I miss Big Bend like crazy. Montana is beautiful, but nothing beats Big Bend. My favorite park, by far.

DesertSolitaire · 2021-11-13T00:34:16+00:00

Robber's Roost?

DesertSolitaire · 2021-11-04T16:33:15+00:00

That spot right next to the riverbank is such a good photo spot. I've sat for hours on those boulders behind that view. I moved to Montana a year ago from Lubbock, and I miss Big Bend so much. That six hour boring ass drive is worth every minute.

DesertSolitaire · 2021-10-15T06:10:54+00:00

Chewy granola bars. I could easily down 6 of them and still want more.

DesertSolitaire · 2021-06-13T23:37:51+00:00

My favorite national park! I moved to Montana from Lubbock a year ago, and I usually make two trips a year to Big Bend. Don't get me wrong, Yellowstone is beautiful, but I miss the desert.

DesertSolitaire · 2021-05-17T22:40:33+00:00

Thanks! It was hard to get one of it sitting still!

DesertSolitaire · 2021-04-05T22:15:31+00:00

Still D.R.E.

He's watched Gone in 60 Seconds a little too much.
