Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I AM happy to see you.




Sunday the 21st. This was a semi-productive week. It got off to a slow start but picked up speed as it went. The pirate captain skeletons mounting hardware was completed this week. he now has a rigid spine of half inch threaded rod to keep him erect and the receptacles are mounted in the proper spots on the wharf for him to stand in later. Next week he will be stained and painted to look a little more "lived in."

Todays project was the pop up pirate in the barrel. After some cussin' and discussin' with myself I got him to a working condition more or less. He still needs programmed though. There will be ambient sea shanty type music playing on a loop, and then when a tot comes near and I trigger it a loud scream will sound and a flashing light will go off. Should be neat.

Tot might not think so though...
