Chuck's Space

Welcome to the Smokies Our family was fortunate enough to travel to Great Smoky Mountain National Park in October 2015. I have loved this park for many years due to the variety of terrain, the number of things to do within the park and the juxtaposition of a wilderness area in heavily inhabited eastern part of the United States.  I can't remember when I first visited the park, but it was probably on a college road trip with a friend. I've made several trips there over the years, primarily to either backpack or fly fish, but this was the first time that I had gone with my family. 

One of the first "smart" phones that I had was a Nokia running the Symbian platform. I started off with the Nokia N97, a touch screen slider phone with a full qwerty keyboard, in 2009 or 2010.  Not long after, I graduated to a Nokia N8. By today's standards, but phones were really crude, but I enjoyed a lot of things about both. In particular, the cameras were very good and I like the fact that I could download maps of entire countries to use with Nokia Maps without a data connection.  Nokia N97 - I could fly typing on that keyboard.

Welcome to Chuck's Workshop!  I'll try to keep track of some of the projects that I get involved in and show steps on how to accomplish these things for yourself.  My interests include woodworking, fly fishing, guitar playing and building and bamboo fly rod construction.  I hope you enjoy your time here.
