Sometimes a really cool project that you see online just doesn't work because you just don't have a pile of crap sitting in your garage that you could use - I just hate when that happens.Cocaloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080659207047681801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838110662763867085.post-90397309553242487302012-09-19T22:03:48.374-05:002012-09-19T22:03:48.374-05:00No matter how inept you may think you are at these...No matter how inept you may think you are at these things, I am worse.

I have to tell you I was just so totally disoriented. I usually type in wes and it brings up your blog. This time I typed crazywon and it brought up a blog. I was like what?! She dyed her hair? Is that her? And, she can knit sweaters?!
