Deadline done!
We made deadline, of course, and now Issue No. 113 is in the hands of our Wisconsin printer.
I’m at home taking a break and supervising my two youngest sons, Robby and Sam, as they build a batten Dutch door for their two-story clubhouse. They’re making it out of fir shelving I salvaged from the old storage room in the building BHM bought three years ago.
This door will go in the first floor of their clubhouse. They already made and installed a batten door on the second floor, shown in the last photo here.

Hi Dave:
Just last week I received my order of the “Whole Sheebang.” I have read through all of the anthologies, and am 3/4 of the way through “Will America Survive Stupid People”.
I want to let you know how much I appreciate you (and all the other writers/editors) at BHM. Every one of your regular contributors are so honest about sharing their knowledge and experiences, as well as their own hearts and feelings. I have never read any publication that is so transparent.
By the way, your editorial on your best fishing trip (the evening you met your second wife) was very close to how I feel about how I met MY second wife. Isn’t it great that life is full of second chances? So often beautiful things can be made from the garbage of past (bad) decisions… as long as we allow it to happen. Kind of like a great garden emerging from a compost pile!
Thanks for your work and the efforts of your writers, illustrators and designers. I own a design firm in Spokane, WA (www.klundthosmer.com) and I know what goes into producing a publication like BHM. You guys are doing a great job.
Take care and know that I will keep reading,
Rick
