August and September brought back-to-school shopping for grandchildren, wrapping up the garden for the most part (except for the endless peppers and a new planting of lima beans), driving kids here and there, and the never-ending yard work.

Steve spent a lot of time working on several videos for an Etchr class that will debut soon, while doing his best to keep up with his regular YouTube videos. When you get a chance, check out his class that Etchr is now advertising.
