Greetings from somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Another day aboard the Carl Vinson is drawing to a close. Not much going on out here. They say that you can go up to a place called "Vulture's Row" to watch planes take off and land but I haven't been up there yet. I did, however, watch a few planes take off from a small window just under where the planes leave the flight deck in the bow of the ship. Very cool. And VERY LOUD. It's amazing how much noise the twin engines of an F-18 make.

On another topic, I now have a picture of a craft table that I built last month.
I patterned it after Schacht's Winding Station out of white poplar.
I'm not sure what my next project will be. There are several new projects that I would like to start during my next inport period. Time will tell. Check back next month to see what project I picked and to see photos.
