I picked up the latest dozen knives from the engraver. While chatting with the guy, I had a minor brainstorm. I asked him if we could get a price break if he left the coating on the blades, and I cleaned them off when I got them home. That's less time and bother for him, and gets us a better price. I hope.

He said he'd think it over. We'll find out when I take the next batch in. Keep praying for that post office insurance.

Hey, driving down tonight I saw a For Sale sign on a '66 (I think) GTO convertible! I got goosebumps all over, heart was going pitter patter, almost broke out in a cold sweat.... but I kept driving and resisted the temptation to stop and look. Sure was a pretty sight though!

g'mornin' all... finally have a chance to sit down at the computer, but not fer long... gotta a VA appointment at thefort this mornin'...

teachin' the welding class went great... gas and MIG welding... I enjoyed the young men and the personality of the classes... made me think of young Marines... these guys were hard werkin' tough young men, who mostly came from less than stellar homes... I'm used to that...

Had a chance to to talk about Jesus to a couple of the guys when one young man mentioned he'd seen The Passion... they had no clue what it was about... I spelled it out fer them in about 10 minutes... I could see the gears turnin' in their heads... then one said "my dad says Christianity is for the weak." I immediately drilled him in the solar plexus, doubling him over and asked "do I look like a weakling to you?"... he gasped out "no sir" as he fell to his knees... then I helped him up, clapped him on the back and growled at him to get back to work...

btw, we field-dayed theshop... I doubt the teacher will recognize it this mornin'...

btw, did you know there's a FReeper here in Lebanon? Goes by hexpoppy... mrsnad met her yesterday to sell her some eggses... very nice lady...
