I went to my moms to work on her computer and ended up bringing some goodies home. Since Dad passed away just over a year ago he had many projects he had not finished. Most of those projects no else knew what they was going to be... most would have been to customize his motorcycle or his pickup...

Well mom gave me a 2foot by 4 foot sheet of very shiny stainless steel, move over chrome!!! This is about as thick as a box cutter blade and pretty stiff stuff. I also got a 3/8 inch round Stainless steel rod about 3 foot long...

I also got a weapon... as the story goes behind it my great grandfather made it while he was a blacksmith. It is a cross bow and although the "string" (steel cable) is broke now, back when I was a kid my dad fired it using some solid aluminum cross bow bolts he bought. When he tried to fire the solid aluminum shaft the cable split the shaft and stuck to the "string". Later he used an iron shaft of about the same thickness and it shot but was never again found. It won't use any standard "string" and honestly I doubt I will ever string it up... it is a monster to set the string and I'm not so sure about a steel cable stretched inches from my face...

So there is the stuff that followed me home!
