I've got the corn hole game about finished. I always blanch when I use that word - it had a much different connotation when I was a youngster. There's actually a web site called cornhole.com. If that doesn't sound like a porn site, I don't know what does.
I cleaned up and painted the old milk cans as long as I was going to have paint in the gun. They look pretty good framing the doors on the shop. I've been painting pretty much anything that doesn't move. Sort of like the saying my Old Man had from his Army days. I need to split the hosta and plant some on the left side of the door for symmetry's sake.
Gearing up now for the annual stint at the fair. This will be my fourth year in a row of running the Blacksmith Shop. I work four hours a day, basically for my own amusement. There are several old buildings on the grounds, a log cabin, school, post office, and the blacksmith shop which is really a one car garage. The local historical society mans the other buildings and the Retired Iron club runs the blacksmith shop and displays a bunch of old tractors. Not sure yet what I'm going to make but my helper and I always have fun hammering and pounding. He's getting to be a pretty fair hand and he's an excellent helper. Not too many young guys are willing to work that hard just for the opportunity to learn a little something. I ordered some welding flux so we can try our hand at forge welding so we'll have to make something that's forge welded together - or burn up some steel trying.
