Heavy Mental Music

Thanks all who left comments regarding the new site, and the kind words about Leslie and RZ. Like I said in the last post its in its beta version. Come to find out it'll be a while before I swap over, I'm having real problems with the CSS and (like several of you pointed out) the body typeface sucked (and blowed). Not to mention WordPress has a new version coming out within the next few weeks, another good reason to wait. Oh I almost forgot the biggest reason not to swap over... Leslie doesn't like the new look. She says it's "too plain". She's my best critic. Always has been!

-------------------------------------

I've noticed that I've been dodging posting.

I've been blaming it on trying to get the new version up and happy, but truthfully I've just had a hard time getting anything out. I've written several posts only to trash them before I hit 'publish'. I've been bugged up lately and it showed in my writing. Nothing major, just a bunch of 'heavy mental music'. Frankly I didn't want to post the hurl (no offense TCWH). I knew I'd revisit it later and get pissed-off for ever writing it in the first place.

On a lighter note, I got lost in the shop this evening thanks to Scott. When I say lost, I mean I was home by 5:20pm, and had torch lit, and in hand by 5:25pm. Before I knew it it was dark. I had burnt (hey look... a pun. I'm rolling my eyes.) through 3 hours in (what seemed like) 20 minutes. Finally after weeks of abusing my inner red-headed stepchild, I was able to get out of my head and throw myself into a project like I haven't done in a L-O-N-G time. WHAT A RELEASE!!! I could say it was better than sex, but, well, um, that just ain't the case. It was good, just not 'shooting lighting bolts from your fingertips' kind of good.

Anyway, take a look:
My Shop Alfresco
Does a shop have to have four walls? three? or even two? Ok, so I've got a wall and a roof. It does the job.

Steel Pennant/Flag
(start lisp) It's the rage in all of the "IN" gardens, this yee-uh hun-ee! (end lisp)

Dragonfly
It's aerodynamic and weighs only 21 pounds. This thing would make small change out of Toto in a windstorm.

Hunter/Gatherer

Coat of Arms
You can't tell it by the picture but that sucker is over seven feet tall.

By the way, when melting quarter inch treadplate steel, I highly recommend listening to:
A. The Police
B. Nine Inch Nails
C. Warren Zevon
D. Lou Reed
E. Oingo
F. All of the Above
