And keep it subtle, please. Pictures are okay, but if you have to say why, you've probably gone too far. Washington monument, power antennas, Kim Jong Il's Chu Che Tower, the golden arches, right before the eye opens on Bruce Campell's shoulder in Army of Darkness.
Ouch. I'm out for the count this weekend. No source o' fire. So no foundry stuff. No smithing. How did this nefarious state of affairs happen you ask? My gas regulator broke. For those of you who don't know, a gas regulator controls the pressure coming from the source (in this case my propane bottle) and prevents changes in pressure from doing nasty things like causing explosions. It stuck way way wide open, so until I can get one, say Tuesday....... I have been thinking about switching...
Hey there cowboy? Ever have this problem? Out camping in the woods, got a little something extra from the chili......time to go get friendly with a tree and take a load off your....mind. Oh no!!! You forgot to pack the toilet paper. Never fear. Just reach for that constant camper's companion, the north american porcupine. Now I know what you're thinking. A porcupine? Why not go for my old standby, the tail of the red squirrel? Well I'll tell you what, you'd be nuts to use a squirrel.

After my latest great failed job attempt, I've been looking at jobs again in Iraq. Of these the highest paying is being a merc....I mean security guard. Or wait, let's see, work outside of the government, carry weapons, involved in combat on a regular basis, kill people, that's not a mercenary, right? Risky of course, but people are getting killed for much less over there now, and that 100, 120K would clean out my debt with a lot left over to give me some room when I came back. Very tempt...

Worked on a friend's car, and fixed a stuck relay in a power module (electric switch, basically) for a fuel pump by banging on it. I'm sure I'll have to replace it, but it's working for now. I love working on cars. I've run into this before. One day I got up and went to start my Mustang, nothing. So I pop the hood, try again, and watch as gasoline just starts to literally pour out the top of the carb. I call my dad up. "Okay, you've got some grit or something blocking the float valve."...

Hello to all you sportsfans out there in JU land. Today I want you all to be like the proverbial midget at the urinal........you're gonna have to keep on your toes. My question to you is, what is it that you blog about on a regular basis, but get no responses? We all know that you can points-whore by posting about religion, or politics, or just by bashing the crap out of someone. But what is it that floats your boat, that nobody seems to care about? Me? I know what I love, but if I pos...
