"Let's get together and feel alright" Like that's gonna happen. At least things will now quiet down in my immediate circle.
I made a knife for my dad years ago when I was experimenting with a little bit of knife making. He's been gone for 30 years and the knife has been in my machinist toolbox since his death. Surly's been doing some leather work and last time he was down I asked him about making a sheath for it. One week later, a beautiful sheath. He's always had a good eye for design, and as a machinist, a good eye for detail. Both of those skills came together quite nicely on this job. Now I'll be able to carry the knife with pride when I go hiking or camping.
I bought all the necessary pieces to get the regulator plumbed up on the air compressor. The angle iron in the photo is for the speed bag job. The locking adjusting levers came Wednesday, so I can finish that job. Coach Jen is planning on opening up her gym the first full week of January, so I need to get the speed bag, chin-up bar and sled done by then. I went in to work early the other night and started on the sled.
I mentioned the other day I went to the heart doc for my annual check-up, and later I read an article that mentioned the average life expectancy. I did an internet search and the latest figure I could find was 75.6 years for white males. If I'm average, I've only got a little over a year left - rather a sobering thought. However, with my diet and exercise routines, I think I'm good for a lot longer than that. I sure as hell hope so.

Move to Canada the expectancy is 79.49 years here (no not metric years!)
That's interesting. Maybe the cold weather slows the metabolism down or you just have a nicer class of people. Regardless, I've got too much stuff to pack up and move - going to have to take my chances here.
