River Day brought everyone out this week: Tim, Jay, Ted, Pat, and myself. The afternoon started out wet, cold and miserable, and ended much brighter (maybe a little fuzzier) and not so wet. Needless to say we all hung out in the shop at Jay's.
I was reminded by Jay that my previous post left out a topic that we discussed, and I even made a note about: survival tips. For some reason (Yuengling) we decided that this would be a nice addition to our posts on a semi-regular basis. We got on the topic of making an "emergency" oil lamp out of a jar, some shoelace, vegetable oil, and a couple of other objects. This was a project I learned about years ago when taking a FEMA course about nuclear fallout shelters. I'm not sure how I forgot all of this (Yuengling), but now that it's been brought up, I think it would be a nice project for a Rivertarian get-together. Stay tuned.
Anyway, as usual it was a great afternoon with friends, sharing stories (when you can actually get one finished), a lot of laughs, and a few cold beverages.
Thanks to everyone for a great River Day! (And thanks to Jay for this week's photo)
Great post Mark! I think we should try the shoelace and lamp oil, just in the event of
