Well,... I guess as a civilization we have come a long way! Excelsior, Ted

Oh yeah! 17 years out of the navy and I occasionally forget that no matter how hard you try and try you still can't polish a piece of dung. Thank you for reminding me, Ted

I reseat them and then rewedge with a coin if I have nothing else. Dimes for carpenter and small ball peens and nickles and quarters for bigger hammers. Excelsior, Ted

You grew up thinking Jean Shepard's radio show, LP's and live shows were the height of great story telling and comedy. Excelsior, Ted

Good luck to both of you. This is a hard time for guys his age and all of us and our families. You are in our prayers. Ted

I'm old. Not that old but old. Don't squat about draft animals, grew up in the city. Excelsior, Ted

Prayers for you both.

Excellent discussion. I have some spring pieces to experiment with. Thanks you all. Excelsior, Ted

That's a nice piece, Bryce. I'm sure your customer is pleased. Excelsior, Ted

Very cool.

Go State! Michigan State Spartans!
