Belknap Bluegrass hammer restored- used properly

Another very satisfying hammer restoration.

The stamped Belknap clover worn from years of service

and

despite the amount of use the face and claw were in EXCELLENT condition.

obviously the owner used this hammer to its proper purpose. too many people use a carpentry hammer like this for demolitions work (we are all guilty of that at least every now and then, myself included), but this just destroys the tool. this is one of those situations i can only hope the next owner will treat this striker as well as the first did.

Belknap Bluegrass hammer used properly, history is still evident in the cheeks.

chronodex week 18 through 22 - nothing wrong with simple categories

The chronodex is summarized as a "visually oriented time management tool"

to make this work one must take a moment to define the day.

this can be as simple or as complex as the individual needs. i must stress here, that there is no

"only way". the depth of categorization just depends on the visual uniqueness of the user, complexity of identifying obligations specifically and the degree of task management comments applied to each time block.

i am using the chronodex to "simply" identify free time on the days i work so i can set realistic expectations for my personal endeavors.

i subscribe to a very simple classifications for my time management.

i have 3 simple categories:

1. absolute obligations

2. potential obligations

3. open time

i will explain another time but i use index cards to slipped next to my chronodex for my

task management entries.

to add to the simplicity, i tend to use only two colors on my clock face:

red is for sleep (an absolute obligations)

and

black for all other absolute & potential obligations.

what is left are the blank spots and those (potential) open blocks.

oh, how i look forward to those open blocks!
