What do you wanna hear first?
I DO have new Icicle earwires...lots of 1 inch, but no 1.5 inch - while I did in fact make the 1.5 inch, they didn't clean up nicely and now I can't get the firescale off them...hmm...i'll try again today, but they might be ruined...
And because the earwires took ALL DAY to make (really), I have no beads to offer today...big bummer...i thought I'd be done with these earwires sooner, because I had already cut, hammered and filed the pieces, but I soon found out my fine silver torch does not get the Icicles hot enough to solder (they are made of sterling)...so I had to...
drag out all my old silversmithing torches, tools, etc and go that route...and it took awhile..and I couldn't find one of my 3rd hands, so I was only using one, so each earwire was slow in coming...anyway, the ones that I completed look great - they've all been filed and tumbled and are shiny and pretty...as soon as I have some 1.5, I'll post and letcha know...am not sure how soon I'll have them...
I have appts today, so I'll be here and gone and back...
Did you see Floyd completely fall apart yesterday - looks like he bonked...but today, he was awesome, and he's only 30 seconds out of the yellow...yesterday he was in 11th place and 8 minutes out...today was a whole new ride...the commentators were so giddy with the ride, everyone was so excited..I'm glad to see he's back, I was surprised the peloton had no answer for him...he's the best time trialist of the leaders, and can win this thing on Saturday...very good!

You are so right Floyd could win this! It's really something how he "came back" and blew the others away. Go, Floyd, Go!
