Spent half of my working day in meetings that I can't remember. :P

that's a very useful trick.  :laugh:

Sort of. I'd better remember the highlights because I'll have to be using the information on Wednesday--I'll be driving across the country again.

Tell them to make it on Thursday and bike.


(what an ideal life that would be)

It's supposed to rain. :P

The drag stake I'm going to make it from an old lawn mower blade

The drag stake I'm going to make it from an old lawn mower blade

Seems like the old "Horse"  model I used to have, the stake was made of cast iron. It could easily break, I always thought. Fortunately there were no rocks in the soil where I was using it.

Can you temper the steel, afterwards?

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I have did Blacksmithing at a local museum with my brother when I was younger and would like to get back into it.  I have everything but a forge right now I use a tourch to heat things up.  Tempering shouldn't be a problem might not bother with the firston though it's getting late in the planting season

Paper work and talked at length with a worried home owner who desperately wants to go green with a project at he home but knows nothing on how to.  I get to meet her tomorrow

knitted, marked, went to the shop (the local one, so no walk at all :( ); ate too much; marked; got on here.

even I'm bored with this hedonistic lifestyle, you know.  ::)
