There's a thunderstorm outside and I really should turn off the computer. If there's a power surge on the Internet, you know who to blame!

Grey, with occasional rain, but a bit warmer. About to go outside and play on my new bike...

Well I did think about how I must be careful with that circular saw and not remove my own fingers or limbs.....safe for now....

Oh and our mainframe move this morning (yes I had to work for several hours!!!) went without too much of a problem. One minor configuration issue.

Beautiful sunny day here and I'm just back from a 2 mile walk to the park.

Enjoy!

Good decision.
At the invincible age of 23, I cut two fingertips off my left hand on a jointer. I've been a security coach everywhere I worked after that. I've instituted a motto that's been upheld with success everywhere. I call it the six inch law:

"Don't get any limb closer than six inches from a power tool's business end; covered or not."

You could have saved yourself some trouble by sticking someone else's hand in there. You would have still gotten credit for the "Six Inch Rule". And appeared to be a little brighter.
Remember, the most painful lessons are best learned by someone else.

This makes very good sense. Let me distort it a little:

Remember, the most painful lessons is best that they be learned by someone else.

Now it's clear. 300 please.

I never met a carpenter or a cabin maker that has not some piece missing from his hands.

The other day Wife and me were discussing schooling strategy for LittleDaughter.

W: If she does not want to study she will be a cabin maker
M: I never, blah blah
W: she will be a couturiere. (she taylor, tayloress, whatever You understand)

And the destiny of LittleDaughter has been decided.

Actually, I have a college education in arts. I wanted to become a sculptor. Alas there's no way of making a living here that way. So I did what I thought was the next best thing, designing and building furniture... Hah! what an error! Cabinet makers earn barely over minimum wages.

I would recommend that little daughter learn administration of institutions for older people care. That's the future of today's newborn.
Cabinet making is a dying craft, as are our forests... Dang paper!
