You present a good analysis of what the Pens need to do to have a chance against Detroit. Sometimes, but not often, I believe in destiny. I just wonder if destiny is on the side of the Pens this year? I sure hope so.

Fleury is a worry.

Gary

I'm with you Gary.
Lets focus on Destiny, wait for a Game 7 and keep our fingers crossed.
Crosby Needs A Cup!

Lets see you replicate this with some Pipes. Lets make that our next picture challenge actually. We need to make pipes and pipe smoking look and feel like this....to some extent. Lets see what we can come up with. You down for the challenge? How about the other photographers here?

sorry about the water marks, but I have had images stolen/used without permission so that's my attempt to slow them down. Thanks for the comments on the photo though. I have a bunch more if every one wants to see them.

i have a few ideas brewing for pipe photos.

Man!
I spent a good 15 minutes looking for this post and I couldn't find it because of the avatar change. Note to self. Remember that.

GARY!!!
We got our wish!
Game 7 around the corner.

Fingers Crossed.

There is a nice little thread on the Stanley Cup in the Sports corner of Puff.

David,

I tore my finger nails apart last night watching that game. Fleury was on top of his game.

LET'S GO PENS!!!!!

Why doesn't anyone use the open thread anymore? No banter? No chit-chat, c'mon.

I finally got around to building my GSD a new doghouse today. Not being a carpenter and not knowing jack about framing, I had to wait for the brainstorm to come and it only took four months to do so. Sure, I cussed a little, cracked a couple of knuckles, smashed one of my fingers wide open and hit every other finger on my left hand at least a few times but finally the deed is done. I even remembered to fill it with straw before I nailed the roof on. In the end I think I understand what framing is all about. It just means you drive enough nails through enough pieces of wood at enough different angles that whatever you're building can't possibly fall down.

Here're the photos:

Here she is with the mate I got for her a couple months ago, Danko the schutzhund drop-out I bought from Nate Harves at SportwaffenK9 in Indianapolis

And here's a project I started last weekend that I only got completely finished this evening

Nice pups and nice work shop. I'd like to build something similar.

I've never seen this thread before. All these pipe smokers, and hockey fans around as well? What a board!

This has been a long time in the making. I originally bought the shed to house all the business related stuff that was cluttering my house. At the time I thought it would be a good idea to insulate it and add inside walls. It never really became my "office" as planned but became more of a tool and storage shed. Until recently it was really cluttered and disorganized. I set to getting it all in order with the intent of gradually adding a bench here and there and so on. What I ended up with was about an eight week quick conversion to a small woodshop. This is it, just a little 10' x 12' amish shed with a porch and a loft.

Are you a hoosier Mad Hatter?
