Monday: was a long day firstly I went t0 Rushcutters Bay to look at an old Etchell it needed a lot of work to bring it back to a condition that I could use for this season, I’ll be land bound for another year by the look of it.

Then I had to go to Kemps Creek way out west to pick up a saw for some more bookshelves that I want to build in the future, after that the times my own.

I called into the Bookplate bookshop at Hornsby. They have a very good stock of books, also a very capable & helpful staff.  I  saw some nice books but refrained from buying after all I have just spent my budget on things other than books today. A quick lunch and up the F3 Freeway to Morisset

Tuesday: This started like most days get in there early a man wants a book Cancerproof Your Body by Ross Horne. He goes on to state that he wants another 10 years, he also mentions that he belongs to C.A.S.S. the Cowboy Action Shooting Society If your like me I didn’t know that or really care, but the thing is that he likes to do things that are that good for him. I can imagine how he would look dressed up in all of the gear, with his Buffalo Bill hair & Moustache, a sight to behold him and another 50 + cowboys armed to the teeth.

Reminds me of a saying my dad used to say Whats a cowboys ambition?

The very next customer wanted a  copy of a James Redfield book The Celestine Prophecy plus some of his other books. I was privledged to get a run down on how they can help you in your personal life, the passion that she brought to the subject was truly inspiring, very good I asked her to write some reviews so I hope she does.

I also have to go to Tanilba Bay later today, then there is birthday party for one of our colleagues tonight happy birthday Linda.S.

Gary Bailey’s How to win motocross by Gary Bailey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars An old favorite a in my misspent youth. But it is now a highly collectable book if can find one. View all my reviews >>

It’s so funny to look back and see what I used to read. as I remember it was a book about a traveling Motocross teacher. The little fellow went on to become a world champion, good read.

Another book that just came across my bench today.

Dinkum Aussie Oddities it’s chock full of weird and wonderful things, mostly man made contraptions, that supposedly normal Aussie’s make in their quest either sell something or just be different.

From the J.F.Furphy’s water cart, made of cast iron included in a shorthand is a message.

“Water is gift of God, but beer and whiskey are concoctions of the devil-Go fetch me a drink of water”

Furfhy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story.

You can find copies at Bookfinder.com Here are some pictures of the things we make. from Big Pigs to Big Bananas we do it all.

I wonder why we tend to do that?
