This morning I've been working(hiding from my family) on cutting some more pieces for the ballista I'm building. I downloaded the plans from "Ernest Borgnines Viking Toys for Men". An online site geared toward manliness. I'm making it out of mostly recycled oak that I pulled out of a dumpster. The lunatic ward at a drug rehab center was throwing away their oak beds, so I scored two of them. One went to my stepdaughter Taylor and I cut up the other one. I made the trebuchet out of some of the wood and the rest is going toward the ballista. I think it's quite fitting to use wood from a bed that mental people screamed themselves to sleep in for building medieval weapons. Too bad Taylor has to sleep in the other bed. She swears it's haunted.
