[TheForge] blackened steel finish

[barkingcrow at comcast.net]

Thanks, Mark,

Your words are pretty good too.  My dog & I just returned from the park.  Don't know what I'd do without him.  

Jeff in Tallahassee where it's an amazingly cool and dry morning, just right for trying my new knee on some rough trails.  Damn thing accelerates well & stops on a dime.

It is the least that we can do for all the pleasure and companionship that they provide us with their short lives. We don't get a lot of time with pets as their lives are much shorter than ours. SO we must do our best to do nothing but love them while they are here...That goes for human beings as well...As hard as it seems to be at times we must strive to do so..
