How do we light the prayer candles? We revert to lighters. One of these gives a spark, which could light a fire.

Old School Analog Connection
Did you ever make these as a kid? Two cans and some string was all you needed. We’d make these from time to time. I always considered it a miracle that they worked (as long as we kept the strong tight and remembered we couldn’t both talk at once). Inktober prompt: Connection. . . . […]

Prepare the Formation
Seagulls are a common sight around here. When I see the “after math” I sometimes wonder if it is practice. Do they fly in formations on bombing runs?

Leaky Faucet
Some what drawn from imagination (the leaky part) and some what drawn from observation. I’ve fixed a lot of these over the years.

Open Boat Sailing
There is something special about hearing the rain fall and drip into the cabin over one’s head. There is also something soothing about gathering in the saloon. But there is always something special about sailing an open boat. The experiences are just closer. It’s not that I like one more than the other, more like […]

Fuzzy Caterpillar
While I was hatching the hair, I realized I haven’t seen any of these black and orange fuzzy caterpillars this year. I remember seeing them a lot as a kid. The old timers used to say we could judge the type of winter we were gong to have by how fuzzy the caterpillars were. Don’t […]

How to Tie a Bowline
Having fun drawing knots again. This time I drew the steps to put a loop in the end of a rope. I remember when I learned to do this as a kid. I felt like a real sailor. After all, I could tie a bowline. Inktober prompt: loop. The first step is to make an […]

3 Seater
I couldn’t resist the humor. One of the houses we lived in used to have a three seater. It was long gone by the time we lived there. Our neighbor grew up in the house, and he had fond memories of it. “I always felt a little lonely visiting my friend’s single seaters,” he once […]
