So last night I took some pants out of the dryer, and they were all staticky. Hardly shocking (no pun intended), but it was annoying, so I went online to see if I couldn’t find a quick way to de-static them. No luck. But I did find these pages:
Check out the new recipes [link removed] section of the site. There’s not much there now, but there will be soon…
Holidays with the fam actually was about as pleasant as it could have been – not too much tension & they didn’t even bust out the angel/bell/spinning sculpture. Imagine my excitement.
Well, my lathe came last night via UPS. Currently, though, it’s in pieces on my bedroom floor, as most mini-lathe owners agree you really have to take the whole thing apart and put it back together better before you have a more reliable and accurate machine. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a while…
I’m off to New York City for some holiday family excitement this weekend. A list of holiday family traditions that I could live without:
- somewhat mandatory gift-giving (it’s fine for the younger kids, but adults? please…)
- liver
- strange “salads” composed of grapefruit, avocado, iceberg lettuce and non-descript dressing
- the little sculpture that has candles that make angels rotate and ring bells. Impossible to describe, but also to bear
- the fighting
I bought a lathe! It’s definitely an experiment of sorts, but I’m excited… besides, my “Holiday” bonus was burning a hole in my pocket. (Also check out this page for more lathe goodness.)
Having finally recovered from Panama City, I can update this page again. Sadly, I haven’t got much to say.
If you want to buy my car, send me email.
Oh yeah, so I welded this weekend for the first time. I dig it! Pictures might be up soon…
