A look at where the Glasswood Ski Boat build stands. Now that ski season is almost finished the crew will be putting more time in the shop and we are actually close to woodworking.

got a film crew to follow him on his first ever Canoe 🛶 launch!
I’m trying to remember my first boat ride. it was probably a row boat on Lake Argyle on a hot Saturday afternoon. It would have been nice if Instagram was around 35 years ago so I could have a living journal of my experiences too 😆
This was a a bit of a rush because of the “no watercraft” sign behind us, but we were able to get some good footage. Also this is the first time this Canoe has floated 💦 so many first all around this weekend.

Aaaaand it’s gone! The spider and the web is gone, only a few strings left to show it was ever there. Miles couldn’t even find him in the brush.

Definitely waking up early to see the dew on this guys web. It’s a good thing the dew sticks around until about 10:30 around here just in case 😆 I’ve never seen a zigzag web like this one either. The garden just got interesting again!

This one out front this week is pretty slick. I can’t tell if the metal ingot above the door handle is covering a keyhole or not. Not sure if they had keys back then..
