The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Happiness is a full pile



Let's hope this is enough wood for next year. Happiness is a full woodpile.



This is all that was left for the season until we bought a 2nd trailer load this week. There are even some wooden bowls to burn.

Cheap status symbol



The other people in the area live on a lake and TWW could never afford that. But he still can have the biggest mail box.

A night in the city of Men or Monie

At long last we got to have the life enriching experience of meeting the person who we had inadvertently blamed for spoiling our Labor Day party. In fact she had spent too much time at the Library the night before and was not feeling well so we forgave her. We later learned the Library was a bar in LaCrosse.

Cabin remodeling planning meeting at Garbin Moraine Manor Meeting Center

Garbin Moraine Manor hosted a cabin remodeling planning session this last weekend. The Window Committee of the board of directors planned window locations and dimensions.



The project superintendent for the cabin remodeling project again leads by example. He is showing people the need to go to sleep early since Daylight Savings Time will begin tonight.


The weekend was the source of another innovative life enrichment activity. Watching someone cut up vegetables can enrich your life especially when you are in a boring location.


We are not sure what is going on here. We think he is thinking about drying his hair in the bake oven in the masonry stove.

Being here

Woodie Allen supposedly said 90% of success is showing up. TWWT says 90% of life enrichment is being here (which implies not someplace else).

It has been two weeks without an entry for loyal readers of this blog (all 3 of you). The picture at the left shows how things have been going. TWWT has been misled by the global warming crowd. Al Gore told us there would be no more winters so when it did not snow much this year I started getting the wood split up for next year (remember burning trees produces good CO2 rather than the bad CO2 created when you burn fossil fuels). Anyway, I hauled wood over to the garage to use the electric splitter (again to prevent burning fossil fuels) and then it snowed about a foot and buried all of the wood. So today was the day to start uncovering the wood and split it. When you are leading an enriched life the life enriching experiences never end.
