WTF?

No, no... it's not what you think... this is a family blog! I mean...

WHAT'S THAT FOR?
This morning, an old barrel was resurrected from the basement, headed for a fresh coat of paint.  It contained a loom with boatloads of stretchy loops. A couple years ago - OMG, it was (link) Loomin' Love, October 2010 - Little Missy had begun weaving a potholder but was not enjoying the craft. She quickly abandoned it in said barrel, where it stayed during a leave of absence from upstairs. I tossed the contents into the trash. 
Loomin' October 2010... Oh, my Goodness!
A LIGHT-BULB MOMENT:
What could I have been thinking? Surely, those loops are useful for something. A quick save and five thoughtful minutes produced the idea... loop the loops together for a big ball of "faux yarn". Gee, I wonder what it's going to end up as. 
HERE'S THE SURPRISE:
In a weak moment of wondering what would occupy today, Joe volunteered for active duty. All the while, he pretended to create his means of escape... it's been a loooong confinement. 
Ah, G-d bless his often-twisted sense of humor.
