That weaving thing is pretty cool; I really appreciate skills like that, things that people used to do as a matter of course but now have no clue how to do, generally speaking. There's so many skills humans have lost in the pursuit of an easier life and a life that shifts the onus and responsibility on to others. #progress huh?

One step forward and two steps back I reckon. #progress Man, you ain't kidding about the lost skills. Few years back a friend called me up wanting to know how to clean a chicken. I'd never done it myself so I started calling family that had but nobody could tell me how to now. Ended up learning how to from a youtube video, which might be the only thing that saves us, now that I think of it.
In re:weaving, it really is. It's all math and patterns, which my brain enjoys, and there's just something deeply satisfying about being able to make things for yourself and not have to rely on others.
There's a Robert Heinlein quote that I may have shared with you before but I'm going to again just because I love it so much and I think it kind of sums up what we're both getting at.
It's a great quote for sure! I can do most, computer programming not and I've not had much to do with ships,.just been on some is all.
I hope you have a great weekend. Mine just started (4pm Thursday). I'm off hunting shortly, just a sneaky little trip for the next several hours. The rest of the weekend will be pretty chilled.
