Oyster Shells

 

Saw these discarded in the ditch and tried to use them for arrowheads.

My Knife

Made my first knife out of glass and carved buffalo head out of pine 2x4.

Long Lost

went riding the backroads yesterday to find some rock to spall. I found one at a stop sign, but it was too large to get without a shovel. Was going back to the truck and looked closely at the rock. On top was this arrowhead. It was only half finished, with a notch on the right side and part of the shank. I finished the left side. Wonder how long it had been laying there.

Overcoming ooops

Believe it or not, when I spalled the same rock, I came up with another flake that had a hole in it.  This time I took extreme care not to break it when I knapped the head.  Luckily it did not snap.

oooops

I almost got rid of the hole to begin with, but decided it would be cool inside the arrowhead.  I got too greedy on the notches and it broke.  too bad.

gittin old

went to the doctor yesterday to get pre cancerous spots off my face.  had Sheila go back with me to consult the doctor.  I noticed that the dr and the nurse kept talking to Sheila as if I were invisible.  hey y'all, I can hear you. talk to me.  no avail, then it became apparent that they thought I had all timers.  that was funny.  reminded me of the visit to another dr. months ago.  she also went back with me at that visit.  the dr kept telling me I needed to give a urine and stool sample.  being a little hard of hearing, I said "huh?'  "give me a urine and stool sample" he said a little louder.  "huh"
  this time I knew he was annoyed and said a little louder as he repeated it again.  I looked at Sheila and she said in a voice I had no trouble hearing, "give him your drawers!"  I may have been proud at one time, but old age has taken care of that.  no one is more humble than me now.
