.
and the sewing project is my costume below
you can't see the leg and arm warmers, but check out the ears

yes 27 and can't use the sewing machine, but not anymore
feeling accomplished.

course still have to learn more and hopefully find the dang manual
was going by my generic sewing book and i had to guess many things

personal projects are fun.

tired..
and it's just monday
so i went to my kungfu class saturday
and my legs are still sore from being wall stretched, really stiff now since i haven't gone for awhile
wall stretch is when you're sitting with your back against the wall and two people pull your legs apart as far back as you can handle
then you stratch on all sides and feel the burn.
then you get to help someone else wince in pain and go for another round

plus it will be good therapy for my shoulder and arm.
r just told me of a 1500cc vulcan classic for 1000
going to test it out at least
1500cc is big
but it will force me to only ride on nice days
and be relaxed
i think i'll get a garage for it
1995 with only 2000 miles on it supposedly
.
don't know what's wrong with it
i think the owner just has too many vehicles

if you go right now the little baby is napping 
just like me and cama last night

LOL.. apologies to the copyright laws but I just had to post this in its entirety...

OTTAWA, Canada (Reuters) -- Canadian troops fighting Taliban
militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent
enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall.

General
Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that
Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew
of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with
marijuana.

"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy,
heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal
devices. ... And as a result you really have to be careful that the
Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in
a speech in Ottawa, Canada.

"We tried burning them with white
phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it
didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we
simply couldn't burn them," he said.

Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.

"A
couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did
catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that
had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course
of action," Hiller said dryly.

One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."
