Lesson for the week, Divisioria Venture, and Workshop Aspirations

Lesson Learned Last week: Count them, before the game begins and as the hits are called. Both the enemies and ourselves.

Divisoria Venture. the other group of guys are going to divisoria and I plan to check it out with them. I plan to blog what I find and try to make sure I can name and remember all the details. I always keep a small black notebook handy.
Things I’ll be looking for: airsoft guns, canvas, leather, fabrics, supplies and tools there. Also where best to park and what time to go.
Workshop Ambitions.
I’m planning to build my own mini-workshop. It has many uses, one that is not commonly found is the sense of self-reliance when one learns to more handyman skills. Sometimes some ideas are too hard to show other people and easier to implement by one’self, also it gives great appreciation regarding engineering reality.
