I have about 900 lbs of cast iron window weights they just seem too good to just scrap to me

Have you thought about blacksmithing?  It's a hobby I would love to get into if I had more time.

Window weights are cast iron and you cant work it on a forge but I have a lot of other metal for that.  One of my brothers used to do the blacksmithing demo on farm day at a local museum and I would go as his assistant.  I play around with blacksmithing and have made some small things like fireplace tools and decorative stuff like hooks and hangers,  i would like to do more but other things end up getting in the way.

Learning about blacksmithing already

Is it fun, or just hard work?

I don't like the smell of rubber. I was thinking this last Sunday as I was doing a 12km walk. At the water stations there were volunteers handing out cups of water and they were wearing rubber gloves. I commented to the person I was walking with that I could smell the gloves. She was like, "Huh?" and I said never mind.

I can't stand the smell of rubber bands either. Kayleigh chews on them!

The scent of rubber is very strong, especially when it is warm. Been a long time, that I smelled rubber gloves. The thin ones are almost all vinyl gloves now here. Too many allergy reactions on rubber apparently. My dentist has an allergy to them too.

A friend of mine does blacksmithing at a museum location. He started as a proper apprentice, just like the old days.

Cast iron kitchenware make great weapons in times of need. 
Weird how something that is so heavy and feels so solid is also brittle.

I broke some when I threw them down out the window after removing them.  They make a nice tone when tapped with a hammer I was thinking of building some heavy weight wind chimes

I popped my back

  I think my left eye is the prettier one.  It has a couple of rays of sky-blue in it.

My left eyebrow isn't a nice shape like my right one.

  Five years after breaking my left pinky, I still have a slightly runty nail on that finger.

  Awww, yes we have.  I'm flattered that you remember my little calamity!
