While I, uh I mean my source turned a very nice piece of Cocobolo for a Wall Street ll, when he put it together he noticed it had been turned way too far and the blank was lower than the rest of the pen parts. Well, after that my source decided that wearing my, I mean his glasses might be a good idea. Well, low and behold, the kit was a Wall Street lll and the bushings were for a Wall Street ll. Turned out ok though, I or rather my source just grabbed a WS ll kit and used it and put the tube in the bag with the WS lll kit for a later date. My source needs to start wearing his glasses at Woodcraft too, because I don't even have bushings for a WS lll.

Maybe after my source is done being embarrassed he will take a photo. Warning though, he has a lousy camera and doesn't take good pictures.

Have I mentioned I am chairing the Casting 1 resin/polyclay Bash contest!

Your source should stop turning Cocobolo, put it in a box and send to me.:cool::):rolleyes::biggrin:

I will pass that on. As for myself, I love the look of Cocobolo but for some reason I have had more failures of different kinds with Cocobolo. I just had a piece barely big enough to do a Wall Street pen and I let my source go with it. If I run across any more I will try to remember that you want it. Now if I can get my source to work with Claro Walnut, another nemesis that I really like the look of, maybe he can teach me to work with it better.

Something wrong with my monitor, your message was blurry until I put on glasses. Guess I need a new monitor because I normally don't wear glasses.

Hopefully your sourse will have his glasses on as he stands behind your chairmans chair.

Curt, didn't your mother always tell you to stop doing (that) or you will need glasses when you got older??? Something tells me you did not listen:biggrin::biggrin:

Now where did I put my glasses. I heard them fall when i put my hearing aides in.:smile-big::smile-big:

Most likely it was the crunch you heard when you used your cane to get yourself up from the sofa .

No that crunching sounds was just the bones adjusting to the new position:biggrin:

Did you ever notice when you get older it seems to be a longer way down to get something you dropped on the floor. Because it takes you longer to get there.Should it not be shorter because you are shrinking as you get older. :rolleyes::rolleyes: Just an observation my sources were telling me the other day.

It's kinda like that walking uphill to school thing. I'ts a longer way down to pick things up but even longer getting back to the upright position. At least that's what my sources tell me.

My source wears glasses but sometimes has depth perception issues because of my, I mean, his bifocals and takes his glasses off to see the finer details and then leaves his eyes unprotected. It's a vicious circle. Can't see with glasses, can't see with shavings in eyes, can't see with safety goggles, can't see..., round and round we go. My source might need new glasses.

Has your source ever considered multifocal contact lenses? You....I mean he/she/it can see near and far and still wear safety glasses. And if he/she/it still needs a touch extra closeup there are safety specs with a reader magnifier built in. Beats the heck out of squinting, bumping into doors and glueing your....he/she/it's fingers to tubes.

Curt, I think you made a spectacle of yourself. But it is all part of God's plan to keep us well.


God's plan for aging

Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach & stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good.

So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it's God's will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath.

Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older:-

1. Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
2. Life is sexually transmitted.
3. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
4. Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart.
If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
5. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
6. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
7. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
8. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird,
and people take Prozac to make it normal.
9. Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.


Have fun keeping yourself and your brain fit.

Dave.
