Since my blog has been dying the death of a thousand days of not writing shit, I thought I'd touch base and let ya'll know what the latest project is. Oh yeah, and it's from Macbeth dammit. Jeez, nobody reads the frickin' classics anymore. Sigh...... So, it's not metal. Yet. (although I finally got a stick welder!!!!!) The latest deal is an illusion scarf. What's an illusion scarf? The idea is you've got what appears to be a normal scarf until you lift it at a slight angle, and WOW, SHIT...

Just feeling good about playing with my metal casting furnace. After two false starts, (one cracked casting, and one crucible failure) I finally managed to cast a replacement key for a set of large cabinets. It's all roughed out on the grinding wheel, just have to finish it in the morning. Now I'm thinking about digging out my needles and working on a hat for one of the kids living with us. Maybe Fair Isle knit. Sweet. Now my usual warning, melting or working with metal is extremely danger...

And that's all I'm allowed to say about that. Dammit. S'true though.

J & B, for only the finest in rare distilled hangovers. (blended hangover, not single malt) Ouchie. Drank way too much last night. (see previous night's article). What's your favorite hangover cure? I'm trying ibuprofen, lots of water, and a hot bath. Hair of the dog is out right now, it'd probably cause major hurlage, plus I finished the bottle anyways. w00t. Yours in mild agony, nbs

So, I'm blasted on about seven or eight shots of J & B rare (it doesn't take much, i'm a teetotaler, also, how often do you get to use an ampersand?), and I'm blogging. Good idea, right? And in other news, my new furnace works so-so. Orange hot very quickly (bout 15,1600 degrees, but not yellow dammit. Bout 1900, see article from aug 31, 05 or 06), poured some lead, failed to melt copper, and forged a kick-ass chisel out of grounding rod with a sweet copper sheath, and similarly mixed cop...

Why is this in humor? I don't know. Which humor is it? Don't know that either, maybe bile? Did not accomplish much today. Joy and I have been having trouble, so today was kind of a take it easy day. The fourth went well, set off beaucioup amounts of pretty pretty type fireworks. (would you believe bang bang types are illegal in Washington?) Other coolness is going on, got some yarn, although haven't started to knit anything yet, and a distortion pedal for my electric guitar, but coole...

Finally starting back up on the running today. Saw a lot of cool stuff (you always do, and it's the frickin' 4th). Hundred year old houses, cat on the peak of a third story roof, etc. And then? About two hundred yards up the street this little wren or some such is being chased by a crow. w00t. While the drama unfolds, I'm running along, when a dozen other wrens come swooping down and drive off the crow. Cool beans, getting all nature channel up in here, and such. Exce...
