Hickory Nuts for the winter

A cold front came through town at about 5pm.  Earlier in the day it was up to 84 degrees which is crazy for October 25th on the edge of the Great Planes.  But it dropped.
It is 49 out now and tomorrow night it might hit freezing.
That is perfectly normal but it is a little unsettling to me, a displaced Alabamian.
This is the time of year I get a little scared and feel like burying Hickory nuts.
No Hickory trees near here, so I an collecting shop supplies for the winter.
Today we had the long awaited run to Advanced Plastics Inc.
In addition to the drum of vinyl ester resin, we purchased 40 yards of 6 oz cloth, 50 pounds of chopped strand mat, 50 pounds of biaxial glass cloth and an equal amount of woven roving.

Shane and Richard dropped by to chat and were coerced into helping us unload.
Thanks!




That's the stuff !
