Chapter 2

I slept amazingly well the entire night through with visions of Cale running through my head, and when I woke up, I had to jack off three times to relieve the pressure. I was not lying to Alex the day before, I would not start anything, nor would I hurt Cale, but I had to admit to myself that just having him around on a daily basis would make me incredibly horny. With that in mind I realized that I was going to have to keep myself well drained to make sure to lessen his charms on me, because if he caught me as horny as I was before jacking off, all he would have to do is ask and my hormones would force me to say yes. Jacking off repeatedly though would help a great deal in that endeavor. Once I was finished releasing the children, I got up and went to get myself some breakfast, then came back and changed my diaper and got dressed to get ready for the day. It was quarter to six when I finished getting all ready.

My bedroom has windows on all three sides, very large windows, there was in fact very little wall space in my bedroom, since there were so many windows. All these windows afforded me the most amazing view of the lake in nearly every way possible. This morning though, the most amazing view was almost half way across the lake, paddling across in a canoe. I had to laugh. I told him six, and he was working on being here for pretty much exactly six.

I went and grabbed the tea I had made myself for with my breakfast, I had just been sipping on it, and then headed outside to wait for Cale to get there. I was sitting on my chair on the end of the dock when he finally made it there. We had waved and called out hello when he was just a few minutes out, but we did not really speak to each other until he was actually up on the dock.

“Good morning Jay, how are you this morning?” He asked cheerily.

“Really good, and you?”

“Same, thanks.”

This morning Cale was wearing just a pair of cotton shorts and one of his diaper shirts, it also appeared as if he was just wearing one of his thicker night diapers, because I could very clearly see his diaper bulge.

“That's good. I can't help but see that you're wearing a much thicker diaper today, and with nearly nothing to hide it.”

“Yeah, when I'm at home and or doing work, I just wear my thicker night time diapers, so that I don't have to change as often, and I didn't think you'd mind. In my canoe no one can see it, and the walk to the house or lake is only a couple minutes between houses, so no one can really see me, so I don't care.”

“No, I don't mind. I'm wearing one of my thicker diapers as well for that very same reason. I only have the thinner ones for while I'm at work.”

“Yeah, I noticed. Can I ask you a personal question though?”

“Sure, you can ask me almost anything.”

“Do you like diapers?”

“Sure, how about you?”

“Yeah, same here. Why do you like them though?”

“Probably half of it's because without them I have bad and embarrassing accidents, but the rest is just because they're really comfortable, especially once wet. How about you?”

“Same. One of the kids at school last year asked me how I can like wearing diapers, and I told him pretty much the same thing. At first he was like wow, you're weird, but I guess he thought about it some, because a few days later he said he thought he understood. None of the kids bug me at school, but the principal of the school kicked the last kid out that was teasing me for having to wear diapers, it was sorta embarrassing though when he did a huge assembly and told all the kids that harassment of any sort, no matter the reason, would have any student expelled instantly. He never said the reason why, he never said my name, but everyone knew that he was talking about me mostly. I am glad though that he did it, because I did have to take the occasional taunt like diaper boy, but after that, I never get even that.”

“You're lucky, my time in school was nowhere as nice. I didn't have to put up with a lot, but I did take teasing for having to wear diapers, like I said yesterday. I never paid attention to them though, so eventually they stopped. Have you had breakfast this morning?”

“Yeah, I had a bowl of cereal before coming here.”

“That's good. What would you like to do first?”

“You tell me.”

“Well, you know the list of things that I'd like for you to do, so you get to pick, and then we'll go from there.”

“Okay, well how about I clean the yard by the lake first. Do you just use a shovel for that like we do?”

“Yep, it's leaning up against the shop right over there, and I dump it into my compost pile. At least the goose poop is good for something, it makes great compost.”

“Yeah, just a pain in the butt to clean up.”

“Yep, I do it pretty much every other day or so, and I hate it, but I don't complain too much, because it's my choice to live here, possibly one of the nicest places you can find.”

“Same, and your place is way nicer than ours is, even if our house is larger.”

“Which one's yours?”

He pointed to a large cedar and black accented three story house that had decks on all three levels and the entire lake facing wall was glass, so they had a nice view of the lake as well from their upper level.

“Nice house, I've always admired that one, easily one of the nicest over there.”

“Thanks. I like your place though, looks more like a cabin.”

“I like it too, no worries there, but you guys' place is really nice, way nicer than most in your area. Did your dad build it?”

“Yeah, he did, and thanks. Did your parents build this place?”

“They had it built for them, they weren't very handy people. Oh, would you like to look at the lathe before you get started, so that you can see what it is that you're buying?”

“Yes please!” He nearly yelled, it was cute.

“Come on then.” I smiled.

I led him to my shop, which I already had open, and he came inside, then stopped and stared. I let him look around for a few minutes. I had a very nice shop, and well appointed if I do say so myself. It was where I loved to be, so I spent a lot of time in there, it showed.

“Wow, nice shop.”

“Thanks, I really like it. I'm in here on average six hours a day, so I made it the way I wanted it. Work days I might only be in here an hour or two, but on the other days, I can spend ten or twelve hours in here.”

“If I had all this, I'd never leave the shop.”

“For the first little while, I nearly didn't either. Every waking hour I had available to me was spent in here working and playing, or playing and working, not really sure which any more.”

“Definitely playing and working.” Cale laughed.

“You're probably right. Anyway, here's your new lathe.” I said pointing at his lathe.

“Yeah right, this is your new one.” He laughed at me.

“No, my new one's over there, see, it's bigger.”

“What, no way, I can't possibly only pay you a hundred for this. You lied to my dad, I know this model, it's the one I've been drooling over, and it's really expensive, and it doesn't come with all the accessories you have here.”

“We already agreed upon a price, you can't go back on it now or you'll insult me. Trust me, to see you have this, I'd still just give it to you.”

“But, all together it must be worth a thousand dollars still with everything.”

“Then I'd think you'd be happy getting it for only a hundred.”

“Happy doesn't even begin to cover it.” He said in awe.

“Know how you feel. Well, come on, let's get to work then shall we.”

“For sure.”

Cale went out and grabbed the shovel that I use for poop scooping and found the compost pile, so got to work right away. Considering I have a fair bit of lake front property, and the ducks and geese wandered almost all over my property, there was usually a lot of poop to scoop, but Cale went at it and got it all done in less than an hour. As soon as he was finished that, he started in the gardens, weeding them for me, never even bothering to come see me. I checked on him every now and then and he was doing a great job. My gardens were pretty low maintenance though, and it was easy to tell which plants did not belong, so he easily weeded them, throwing the weeds into the compost pile as well once he had a wheelbarrow full. This chore took him almost an hour as well, and then he came into the shop where I was working.

Once Cale was doing what he needed to do, I went into the shop and found my template for the paddles, since I had it in storage, and then grabbed the yellow cedar that I had, as well as some walnut. I would make a walnut spine, because not only did it look really nice, but it added some strength to them. I got started right away on cutting the pieces that I needed and then glued them all up. They would have to wait until the following day now for me to cut down to rough size, and then I would be able to shape them and add their unique touches. Once that was done, which really only took me an hour, I decided to grab one of the bowl blanks that I already had glued up and ready to go, and got it attached to my lathe and got started on carving it. This particular bowl I had taken about a thousand pieces of scrap wood that I had laying around, cut them into wedges and glued them all up into a rough bowl shape. I have a couple hundred different molds that I use for this, I made them all, and when I do this sort of thing, I usually use one of them to form. Anyway, the woods were all different colors and were set in completely random ways. It looked kind of funky actually, and I thought it might make a really neat design once it was all turned and then polished to a mirror shine with some food grade wax. I had gotten up a couple times to check on Cale during my carving, but when he had finished the weeding, he had come in and was watching me until I noticed that he was there.

“Oh, hey there. Finished the weeding already? How long have you been watching me?”

“Yeah, finished up a few minutes ago, so have been watching you since. That's a really neat bowl, how'd you do it?”

“It's hard to explain, so one day I'll show you just how I do these. It's easier to learn by watching and helping.”

“Really, you'd teach me how to do that?” He asked in awe.

“Sure, if you want to learn that is, I'd be happy to teach you anything you care to learn.”

“Wicked, if you teach me all about how to do this, I'll do all your chores for you.”

“That won't be necessary.”

“Sure it will, don't worry. Anyway, I was gonna go wash the windows now and then the walkways, where would I find the stuff to do that?”

“Here, I'll get everything for you.”

Cale smiled brightly at me and followed me as I took him to where the hoses were, where the window washing stuff was, I even had really long handled ones so that even he could get the upper windows, though I wondered if he would have the strength to be able to do it, but I would leave that up to him. I figured he would manage it, since he really wanted to work off the lathe, and I did not feel that he was the sort to complain at all, he was more the sort to just get it done. Once I showed him where everything was, he took off without further instruction and just got to work. I headed back to the shop myself and continued on with what I was doing.

Cale took two hours more to do his chores, whereas I finished mine only an hour later, at least the carving part. It took a further half an hour to sand it perfectly and then wax it before it was completed to my satisfaction. It was getting pretty close to lunch time by then, so I cleaned up and headed in to get us both some much needed lunch. I made a platter of sandwiches and fresh fruit and then took it out to the table on the porch, so that we could see the lake, and as soon as Cale finished, he came over.

“Perfect timing, have some lunch.”

“Oh, thanks. You don't have to feed me though, I was just gonna head home for some lunch.”

“Nonsense, there's no point when I was making myself some anyway.”

“Thanks. After lunch though I have to grab my bag from my canoe and borrow your bathroom, because I need a diaper change pretty bad.”

“You and me both. Oh, did your dad give you a cut list for me as well?”

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that, it's in my pack as well.”

“Good, after lunch then you'll help me with my cut list, your dad's gonna make me a new canoe, since my old one's almost rotten.”

“Cool, what can I help with though?”

“You'll get to learn how to use a small saw mill, so you'll help me there. Neither of us will have to do a lot, since it does most of the work, but you'll get to pull the cut boards off and stack them.”

“Cool, is that what that big saw thing is beside the shop?”

“Yep, my own portable mill, it's great.”

“Must be nice to be able to cut most of your own wood.”

“Yeah, except well over half the wood I use I still buy, because we don't have many good hardwoods around here that I can cut up for turning, since soft woods don't work as well. I tried making a cedar bowl on the lathe once and it flew apart, actually managed to get myself a hell of a cut on my cheek when it blew apart.”

“Ouch. That must have been a surprise.”

“A bit yeah, but it wasn't the first or the last thing to blow apart on me in the lathe, but it was the only one to cut me. And that's just one good reason for wearing eye protection on the lathe.”

“Yeah, I always did too, but I never had anything blow apart on me like that.”

“When you do bowls and really fine things like that, it happens, especially when they're all glued together like I like doing. All you have to do is move your chisel just a tiny bit wrong and it can happen. Your first bowl that you do will probably blow up on you too, it happens to almost everyone.”

“Oh. I did do a small bowl last year out of a knurl and it turned out pretty cool, and it didn't blow up, but it wasn't really thin either.”

“Yeah, the thinner you go the more chances of it happening. Even the experts can still have it happen to them, but I'm nowhere near an expert. Well, let's eat up shall we!”

With that, we both dug in and enjoyed our lunch together. We each had some of the iced tea I made and finished off all fruit and sandwiches, not that there was all that much, but it filled us up. Once we were finished, I told Cale that I would take the stuff inside if he wanted to run down to grab his pack. He did and was back to the house a few seconds later. I showed him where the bathroom was and where he could put his wet diaper once he was changed and ready to go. He thanked me and then went to change his diaper. I am quite glad that he did not ask me to change him, I just do not think I could do that and behave. Once I had the mess in the kitchen cleaned up, which only took me a few seconds to do, I went to my bedroom and changed my soggy diaper as well. Cale was done first and when I came downstairs, he was just looking around in the living room, checking out some of my art and things.

“You have a really nice place. It's so warm and cozy, and some of your artwork is really nice.”

“Thanks. Most of the art was my parents, but I've added a bit more here and there. In fact, most of it is my parents, because they were both artists, my mom sculpted and painted, whereas my dad only painted. Not all the artwork is from them mind you, but most of it is. The rest I bought at the park during the sales.”

“Oh, I've always wanted to go during a Sunday sale, but I just never seem to, and since I never have any money, there's no real point.”

“Had you've gone, you'd probably have seen me there, because I go and sell some of my things as well. I probably would've gone today as well had you not been coming over.”

“Why didn't you say that, I didn't have to come today!”

“Because, I don't have that much left to sell, and you're in more need of me being here anyway. You need your new lathe, so no worries.” I smiled warmly to him to show that I was in no way upset by it.

“Oh, thanks I guess, but I don't want you to upset your routine just for me.”

“Don't worry about it Cale, I didn't. I don't usually go every weekend anyway, and I went last weekend, hence the reason I don't have much to sell, I sold most of what I had last weekend.”

“How many pieces did you sell and how much did you make?”

“I only had a dozen things with me, I sold seven of them, and I made almost a thousand dollars.”

“You're kidding right?” He gasped.

“No, actually I'm not. You remember that bowl I was working on earlier, that one alone will probably get me two hundred dollars, and it's not very big, but it is fancy. No, last week I had a bowl five times larger than that and was even more intricate, and it sold for five hundred, but I was asking six for it. I don't do it for the money so much, but it is nice.”

“Wow, no wonder you only work a few days a week if you can make that much money doing what you love.”

“Exactly. Trust me, even though the house is paid off, it's still expensive to live here. The taxes on this place alone nearly kill me some years, but everything I make selling what I make, helps me to eat and sleep, the pay I get at the lumber yard pretty much keeps me in wood and tools, well mostly blades and stuff, but I buy a lot of wood.”

“Yikes.”

“Yeah, trust me though, I'm not hurting, and I wouldn't change a thing for the world. By the time all is said and done, at the end of the year, I still add fifteen or twenty thousand to my bank account, that's after everything's paid off, so I do pretty good for myself.”

“That's good.”

“Yeah, so let's go teach you how to use a portable mill then shall we.”

He brightly cheered okay and followed me out to the side of the shop where my mill was. He helped me to choose the cedar log we would need, then had to run back into the house to get me the cut list, while I maneuvered the log onto the deck of the saw. Once I had the cut list, I set up the saw for the correct depth of cuts and then started it up and we cut up the entire log. Alex would not need that much, but I would give it all to him so that he could make a few more canoes, because cedar strip canoes are amongst the best, and sell for a lot of money, so he could make a few extras to sell. I would make him a few paddles to go along with them, and then Cale and I figured we would be able to split the earnings pretty evenly, all of us making money in the end.

“That's really easy to do.” Cale said once we were finished, though we had been talking the entire time.

“It is. Wanna come help me glue up a bunch more boards for the paddles now, since we'll need more?”

“Okay, sure.”

So into the shop we headed and he helped me for the next hour to cut everything to size and then get it all glued up. It was easy work, and while we did that, we talked nearly non stop, both of us learning a lot about each other. I learned that Cale was great in school, was already going into grade six, though he should only be in grade five, he loved reading and boating, woodworking of course, and he loved his dad and brother a great deal. I even learned that he adored his big brother, though he was only a little more than a year older and were only one grade apart. I wanted to ask him if he and Jeff had played around any, but I managed to hold off. Though the way he said they love to play together, left very little to the imagination, and I wondered just how much they had played together. I told him all about my life, how I was born and lost my parents at an early age, pretty much everything. He asked if I had ever been married, which of course I said I had never even really dated or anything. I just spent so much time at home playing that it never really happened. He seemed to ponder this for a while, then smiled softly to himself. I almost asked what that meant, but was not sure I wanted to know the answer, because I too had seen the way Cale had looked at me, and wondered just what he was thinking, but having a very good idea.

“Thanks for all the help today Cale, should we load all the cedar and your lathe into the truck and take them to your place?”

“Can I leave the lathe here so that you can teach me more how to use it here? My dad doesn't know how to use one really, so I'd be able to use it more here than at home.”

“I don't see any reason why not, we'll talk it over with your dad though once we get you home. Let's go ahead and get all the wood loaded and then I'll take you home.”

“What about my canoe?”

“Oh right, forgot about that. Why don't we load it on the truck, that way you don't have to paddle all the way home.”

“Okay, but I don't mind, but if I take my canoe, I'll beat you there. It'll take me fifteen minutes to paddle home, whereas it'll take you half an hour to drive there, so I may as well come with you.” Cale smiled brightly.

I smiled back at him and then we went about loading everything into the truck. The cedar was all ten foot long and pretty wide planks, but it was pretty thin, so even Cale was able to easily help me load it all up. Cale then headed down to the lake and pulled his canoe from the water, grabbed some wheels from inside, set them on the ground and flipped the canoe over and onto them and then was able to easily pull the canoe up to the truck. I admit I had wondered how a boy so small as Cale was able to take a canoe from his house to the lake, when said canoe was probably as heavy as he was, and at least twice as long as he was tall. The dolly made sense though and I wondered why I had never thought of it. I smiled to Cale and told him that was a great idea, he smiled and said it was his dads idea so that he and his brother could easily transport their canoes when he was not around.

Cale was unable to load the canoe into the truck though, so I took care of that, and then we both hopped into the truck and headed to Cale's place. He had to give me directions, because while I could see their house from mine, I had never driven the roads on that side of the lake, so therefore had no idea where to go really. It was easy enough, and of course I knew the house right away. Alex and Jeff were in the shop working when we pulled up, and they both came out as we pulled up.

“Hi guys.” Alex called out.

“Hi there, just working in your shop as well huh?” I said as soon as we were close enough to hear each other easily.

“Yeah, we're usually out here or doing something constructive. I see you have the cedar already, but why so much?”

“Bit of a business proposition if you will. Cale and I figured that if we cut the cedar for you and we make the paddles, you can make the canoes and then I'll sell them and we split the money, that is if you'd like to.”

“That's a great idea, I can always use a few extra bucks. How much do these canoes sell for though?”

“Several hundred usually, but really, it only costs us time, it costs neither of us any real money, except the finish coating, whichever you use, but that's cheap in comparison.”

“Nice, sure, why not.” He smiled brightly.

“I already have a bunch of paddles laid up, so tomorrow I can cut and shape them, that only takes about an hour a piece, and then I can finish them all at the same time.”

“That's good. How long did it take you to cut all this wood?”

“Couple hours, but I already had a good log at home, so it was easy.”

“Then call it a deal. Cale, where's your lathe, I thought you would've brought it home today as well?”

“Can I just leave it at Jay's for now, he's gonna teach me how to use it really well, and I'll keep doing some of his chores for him for it. He said I didn't need to, but I want to if he's gonna teach me all about how to really use the lathe and his other tools, and he does really nice stuff.”

“Yeah, I know, I've seen a few of his things at the park when I've been there.”

“Oh, I don't recall ever seeing you before while I was there.”

“Both times I stopped to look, you were busy, and your stuff is always too expensive for me, rightly so considering how beautiful it is, so I look and admire, but never stopped to talk to you.”

“Oh, thanks. If all your boats turn out like the boys' did, then you could make a killing on them as well, but it'll have to be about a sixty forty split, you get sixty percent of the sale and I get the rest, because it takes you far more time to make than it does for me.”

“No, that's not fair.”

“Sure it is. It'll take you several hours per boat, it only takes me several hours to do a bunch of paddles, so it'll be fair, and don't worry about it, I'm not gonna complain.”

“We'll talk more about that later, once we figure out how much time it takes me, because I normally have to re-saw all the wood first before I can even start, so that's half my time right there. With you milling it to nearly perfect dimensions for me though, it'll hardly take any time at all to cut all the pieces and put them together. Maybe four hours per boat, and it's pretty easy work.”

“Still, all told it might take me two hours per boat for the work I have to do, and it's not that hard either, so I think it's fair, and you need the money more than I do having two kids to feed. I still remember how much I ate at their age, and some days I bet you feel that you won't be able to fill the fridge fast enough.”

“God, ain't that the truth.” Alex laughed, the boys did too.

“Yeah, anyway, let's get this all offloaded then, and then I think I'll leave you guys to the rest of your day.”

“Okay.” Alex and the boys said, and then the four of us offloaded everything. The canoe was first, and once off the truck, Cale took it and set it next to his dad and brothers canoes, and then came back to help offload the cedar.

“Well, there you guys go, have a good night, talk to you later.”

“Thanks.” They said.

“Can I come over again tomorrow Jay and continue working and learn some more stuff?” Cale asked hopefully.

“Of course, come on over any time.”

“Thanks.” Cale beamed brightly.

I hopped into my truck at that and with a wave, headed home. Once I made it home, I stripped down and changed my diaper, staying in only that now for the night, and then went and made and ate some dinner. After that, I sat back and watched a movie until bedtime and then went and had a great sleep with visions of Cale running through my head all night.
