Just got back from the Brickyard 400. Nice lumber back there.

With "parenting" like that from the grandmother, jail has a prominent place in these kids future. I think you can count on more visits from them, unfortunately.

I'd tell you what I'd like to do but if I did it, it would be considered premeditation.

Never thought living in Indiana would be a plus until I started building Windsor chairs and playing Bluegrass music. We have thousands of acres of national forests. I can usually get free wood for my chairs just for asking for the logs laying around after logging operations.

Lots of sawyers around the state too. They are generally happy to custom cut and dry any hardwoods you need.

And then there's Bluegrass music. We're right in Bill Monroe's backyard. You can play every week end if you want.

I was at the Brickyard, but had to walk two miles to get to my seats from where we parked.

How did you rate an escort!

Bill, wow, that must really be frustrating. A new shop and now you have to worry about it. Just be sure to post the results when you're done with the LDD blank drying experiment that I'm sure their pool would work perfectly for . Any local sources for a 55gal drum of Dawn ???

I'm very lucky here in having only one 'kid' on the block - and he's been running his own lawn and snowblowing service for the last 4 years. About 80% of the block is WWII vets/widows - and they keep a constant eye on everything that goes on in the neighborhood.

Here in Peru it is not that complicated. If you catch them put them one at a time into a barrel of ice and water and when they shake a lot and get a bit blue a willow type stick gets them talking very fast and straightforward. Then call the police.

[Bill Wyko]

Thats the kind of justice we need here.

[Don Eddard]

Note to self: Don't break into Jim King's shop.

Bill,

Here in Texas, we have a law called criminal mischief (damage done without the effective consent of the owner). It sounds like that and "Criminal Trespass" are the offenses the Juveniles had committed at your place. If the Police are not giving you the answers you would like, ask for their supervisor and get an explanation. Good luck!

[Bill Wyko]

Good Point. If they continue I'll contact Interal Affairs in addition to CPS.

[Ron Jones near Indy]

A call to the county prosecuting attorney might get their attention. Yes, both the police and the kids.
