I'm sewing, sewing, sewing. It's hard, I'm learning how to sew and I make a lot of mistakes. Today, I got stuck and bailed out and ate vegan ice cream and pouted and was butthurt.

I've also been watching the show, "The Walking Dead" on DVD. It's good, old fashioned zombie gore and fun. I really enjoy zombie movies, but earlier today I noticed how some people just get tired of fighting zombies and not having dishwashers and whatnot and just give up. They get tired of clubbing zombies and that's it, they shoot themselves or jump off a building or so forth. I suppose, if they could, they would just plop down and eat ice cream and pout. Now, I get that.

I also realized that learning how to sew is my zombie apocalypse and that I need to be careful and creative and make do with the limited resources that I have. I don't mean to say that I have to take a chainsaw to any monsters today, but building a business is fraught with many hazards and has it's own challenges and I have to rise up to meet them. I guess life is just like that.

Zombie sewing pins, anyone?

I've been trying to figure out how to make a kayak cart on the cheap. My goal was to make a kayak cart that would make it down the deeply gullied dirt road from the Lake Eleanor trailhead in Yosemite National Park down to the lake. I took apart one of those jogger's child strollers that someone threw away, an abandoned luggage cart and looked all over the Google.

But, a few months ago, I saw a golf club bag cart that looked promising. It's been sitting in the garage until this morning, when I pulled out some tools and had at it.
