[TheForge] new burn therapy

[dann at wctatel.net]

Jerry,

I bought a harbor freight plasma cutter a month ago.  It sits unused, on
my living-room carpet, waiting for a nice day, to cut up some art metal /
yard shapes. Yard art welded to a metal stake, like something my wife and
I call that "shit on a shingle"   I almost bought an English Wheel that I
saw at a Harbor Freight in Sioux City last week.  It might be a toy
compared to Gene Olson's,  but as I oogled it, I imagined it smoothing up
the domes of hand hammered viking age shield boss.

I can't remember exactly, but you are either a day older, or a day younger
than I am.   The last 15 or so years that I have been reading your posts,
have been great.

So many of my -close ones- have passed over during that period.   These
days, when I say good bye to my wife,  I say, "See you later!  Its been
nice knowing you.  Hope to see you around again sometime!"

Not intended to be so funny. As I am finishing my 3rd time doing Executor
roles for Estates since 2000. I am doing the final Estate clean up for the
closing of my buddy Skip's estate. Sold off his black smith stuff at
public auction almost year ago.  I was sick that day, or I probably would
have been there bidding and would likely bought the stuff myself. It went
too cheap.

I raise a glass to friends above and below.
We dreamed good dreams!

Dann
