Current and Near-Term Projects

                   Current and Near-Term Projects:


My first book, I Talk Slower Than I Think, is finished.  It will be available in September 2012 through Amazon.com in print and e-book editions.  I aim to get it into the major bookstores and on iBooks in formats that any reading device can handle.  If there is sufficient interest, I will narrate an audiobook version.

I don’t spend all day at the computer writing.  We are restoring an 1885 Victorian home that was a wreck.  I am nearing completion of an antique car restoration, and there is still a backlog of ten antique tube radios requiring my attention to get them back to operating condition.  There is nature to explore, the wild blackberries are in season alongside the dirt roads, and the gold in Alabama’s creek beds beckons.

The ’51 Studebaker’s mechanicals are finished, but for safety I want to have its elderly wiring harness replaced, then get the final cosmetic work done to complete the restoration.  It runs well now, and gets at least the 29mpg listed in the 1951 advertising claims.
There is a gold mining camp in east Alabama we want to check out, called Alabama Gold Camp.  179 acres you can prospect, and they have some nice campsites and cabins.
I will tackle the electronic restoration of my chiropractor’s 1948 Silvertone console radio.  It’s an unusual, high-end tube radio covering the AM, FM, and Short-wave bands, with a turntable.  It has a fairly rare recorder that records sound onto a wire that resembles fishing line, the kind used in the ’20s to archive old time music.
