More possible tools to buy

Since husband and I tidied the garage a couple months ago, and sorted our tools, perhaps it's now time to consider adding a few necessary tools. And here's a list to start with...Essential tools for the household handyman. I should have a $25 gift certificate at Home Depot waiting for me when we get home.

Moonshine update

It turns out that moonshining is a hot new hobby, according to Wired.

Moonshine - We Need a Still

We need a still. Can we buy one, or get the parts for cheaper and build it ourselves?

I'll come back to this post with research.

Tricycle with trailer

We might want to look into something like this. We can find them in the US here or here. I'm sure there are more sources.

Bikes and trikes like are all over Europe, making deliveries to and from stores. If things really fall apart, I wonder if we could make a living with a fleet of delivery trikes.

The Chinese version -- built for heavier loads -- is here: http://www.orientaloutpost.com/images/goldfish1.jpg

White Men Call Them Sling Shots ... My People Call Them Wrist Rockets

For sale here ...

But they can be found cheaper on eBay. I wonder if we can find them cheaper somewhere else?

I like the idea of a folding sling shot. That would fit in a pocket nicely. And we would SO rule over the damned crows that will try to eat our garden.

I recently read a story about a guy who got in trouble for using a .22 rifle to shoot a garden-eating crow in his backyard garden (law broken: discharging a firearm in city limits). Plus, we don't want to keep firearms around the house. You don't have that problem with a wrist rocket.

We'll have to teach the kids not to shoot living things with the slingshots, of course. But I remember many a halcyon afternoon as a boy spent shooting at targets with a wrist rocket and marbles.
