-## When In Doubt, Build Shelves
-
-If I had a motto it would probably be *when in doubt, build shelves*. Shelves are easy and satisfying to build. And when you're done your life is inevitably neater and more organized. I like for everything to have a place.
-
-I've been shelf building my whole life. When I don't have anything else to do, I build shelves. Or at least paint them. I used to repaint my bookshelves whenever I moved because after a move you never quite know what to do in your new space. The answer is to build shelves. I also tidy up a lot when I can't think what else to do, which inevitably makes me think, I should build a shelf there.

-Despite the image many people have of me sitting in hammock doing nothing most of the time, it's not all that accurate. I mean, I try to get in the hammock as much as possible, but this summer I've built quite a few shelves. Shelves for books, shelves in the bathroom, shelves in the closet. Then I branched out and built a new towel rack.

-Part of the shelf building was because I pulled the tailpipe out of the bus, all 28 feet of it came out in a single piece and got shipping off to Eau Claire where a machine shop is building us a new one. Slowly. That pretty much means I can't work on the engine. Well, I can't start it, which makes it hard to work on it and know the results.
-
-So shelves. 
-
-The rest of my family is not so enthralled with shelves though, so in between baseball games, JuiJitsu and wrestling practice, we managed to sneak in a trip to Little Girl's Point, which is one of the more popular agate hunting beaches in the area. 
-
-Not being a rockhound myself, I usually bring a notebook, stove, coffee pot and fixings, and sit on the beach, writing and relaxing. See, I do lounge around in a hammock occasionally, there's just nowhere to hang a hammock on this beach.

 ## Car Show Post
 
 Someone stopped by the bus the other day to talk about it. I don't really recall what we said, probably started with the year, then the engine, then repair in general. But as he was getting ready to go he said "thanks for keeping it going". I've heard that a couple times before in one form or another, that people are happy to know it's out there.
