I'm not at all sure how or why but a beautiful priority box destroyed my front door mail slot today. It has been some time, (a LONG TIME) since I have been active here. Health issues have been keeping me down for a while now. But some person named "Mahuke" from Gilbert AZ blew me away today and...

It has been some time since I've been around and I wanted you to know why. Nearly 5 months ago, while climbing the "Rocky stairs" at the Philadelphia Art Museum, I had chest pain for the first time. I walked it off looking at the special Cezanne show. The next morning I took the trash cans out...

WOW! What a great stick and wonderful review! As always, it has been wonderful to share the blessings vicariously. Thanks!

AMEN!! Great people and great prices on great sticks! Honestly, these folks are the best. (Silo too!)

Ray, Thanks! She has been a wonderful "look" and I have enjoyed seeing her. I look forward to the next beauty. Blessings!

Our new asparagus bed is sprouting! 40, 2 yo crowns planted 10" deep, being re-buried 2" at a time until we get back to grade. We won't get anything this year but look forward to years of fresh asparagus! We also have 50 everbearing strawberries, 7 raspberries, 4 blueberries, 3 apple trees and 3...

Oops! I see you finished it! How is the humidity holding?

She is beautiful! (The baby isn't bad either.) :p Congratulations!

Since my close call last week I have torched a few very special sticks that had been sitting, Opus X Lancero, 02 Sir Winnie, and a Carlos Anniversario among them. Coming up against my mortality reminded me that I really don't want to leave too many great sticks for my heirs! LOL :laugh: Sadly...

Here are the latch close-ups I promised. Here's the latch in the opened position. Here's the latch in the closed position on the inside of the door frame with the door open showing the aluminum piece that fits into the door edge to hold the door shut. Here's the slot the tang goes into on the...

Sunday the wife and I were climbing the "Rocky" stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art. When we got to the top not only didn't I feel well but I had some pain in my chest. We walked the museum, (the special Cezanne exhibition was extraordinary), and the feeling passed. Monday morning I...

Mine has arrived as well. Thank you Rod, it is a very fine instrument. It's is amazing how one imagines other torches are "good enough" until a really superior one is found. Thanks again for hooking us up with some really superior ones! I, for one, am grateful.

Saturday works for me. I look forward to seeing all of you!

The pleasure was all mine Earl. I am glad that it has lived up to my expectations regarding stable humidity with the beads. It should be very stable. It was great to meet another BOTL and have the chance to do this work for you. I trust it will be a blessing for many years to come. Dave
