Christmas is always a busy time and what with designing a new rig and sorting out the materials and a building site for said rig... Well it has been just a little crazy! But there is light at the end of the tunnel (in the non Southeast Asia sense!)
I'll be going more into the new rig and design in the very near future but for the moment my copies of Derek Van Loan's "Design and Build Your Own Junk Rig" and the Hasler/McLeod opus "Practical Junk Rig" are sure getting a lot of use...
On a sad note Mike Richey of "Jester" fame passed away. Richey was an example to many of us and will be greatly missed.
Christmas to me has always been simply a moment to reflect on family, friends and those close... and a drink to those no longer with us.
Have a happy...
