Drove home to my parents house this weekend. Got my dad to show me some of the
basics of welding. In this case, wire feed MIG welding. Difficulty level was about
what I expected, not too hard to learn basic welds, lots of practice required for
anything more advanced. But glad I had someone to show it to me, instead of
trying to do it myself.



Gearing up



I’m dead sexy

More welding adventures with aklikins

Spork! Foon!



Carving project number 2. It didn’t start out to be a spork. Just kind of evolved that
way. Interestingly enough,
weird spoons
are apparently a pretty common begining carving project.

Was going to take pics with my camera, but it’s mostly useless these days, so
tried the scanner approach. I think I like the aesthetic it gave better anyway.

So, this interview meme thing seems to actually be producing some occasionally
interesting results.

So, here goes. Got any questions for me?

More bad ebay discoveries. One being cars.

The other being memorabilia. Not that I’m a huge sports guy or
a collector. But it may be hard to pass up
Kurt
Rambis memorabilia
. After all, he is the greatest player to
ever grace the NBA.

Bic z4 gel pens are nice. Maybe even better than the
pentel suburst gel’s I’ve been favoring recently. For
all the cheap pen geeks.
