Got some more enameling done today for the up.

For the down, last weekend when mowing the lawn, the blade hit a low stump and bent the shaft. Costs more to repair than we paid for it. Time to get a new one.

The silver I ordered should arrive today. Which means I should be able to get some enamelling done today. Whoo-hoo!

fabricdragon, I have to thank you. Hagstoz (http://hagstoz.com/) is a perfect source for me to get the fine silver disks I need for enamelling. I'm going to have to let my laurel know about them!

Going to start up enamelling tonight. After the first outdoor grilled dinner of the season.

Going to try something a bit different. Only getting out what I'm working on, and putting it away at the end of the night. To try and keep the house cleaner.

Well, today is my birthday, and I'm leaving the land of XLIV and have reached the half-way to 90 mark.

Going up to Springfield MA to visit friends, including Lederhosen, who is visiting from the counterweight continent.

I've started playing flute after my lovely wife got me one for my birthday. It is BLUE!

I've also started making arrows for my bow, so I can do archery more often.

They stole the remaining albino pepper plant just as it was starting to produce. It still was a couple of weeks off from having anything ready to eat.
