I just needed a little inspiration to make something to post here.
For the last few months I have been working on a trailer mounted smoker in the driveway. My other half is a night nurse so I try to keep the noise down on days she is sleeping. Last Sunday I needed to get out the BIG hammer to persuade some metal to to move where I wanted it. This was followed by a rare midday sighting of my other half and a threat to blow up "that #&%* smoker". I put the hammer away and found some other (quieter) things to do.
Later in the afternoon I went in to make a sandwich after she got up. She was in the kitchen with a loaf of French bread in one hand and waving a bread knife in the other hand when she mentioned that one of the nurses birthday was coming up and it would be real nice if I'd make her a flower for her yard. I'm not saying that long bread knife had anything to do with it but a feeling of divine inspiration overcame me and I built a flower last week.
No hammers were used on this project.
