Can you count to four?
If not, this video should be a big help to ya...catchy but not annoying...unless you watch it 385 times, then I can't be held responsible...
I have to keep the pics of GM on my site for a while longer, I'm still enjoying looking at them...it was such a hoot to see him dancing and moving on stage, after seeing his videos for years, to get to see him move in real life was really cool...I've been listening to the set of songs (playlist) that he performed in Dallas, and finding some YouTube videos of his concert in Houston and other places that've been posted online...maybe they'll film one of his shows and we'll all get to enjoy it...I see he's doing two shows in NYC, I bet that'll be a hoot...
I was really busy yesterday, I actually hauled out my generator (all 75lbs worth), and packed it in it's shipping container...I think it'll head out the door tomorrow via Fed Ex...and maybe a new, bigger model will return to me...it lasted 4 years before it blew out whatever it blew, that's pretty decent, I think...its not exactly broken per se, it just sprung a leak in one of the hoses and I just am not able to figure it out...the more it huffs and puffs, the more i get frustrated with it...let the expert fix it, and if it blows again in another 4 years, then I'll deal with it then...i think most of our cars need repairs more often than every 4 years, so i'm not complaining...at least I have the backup unit, even tho it seems to get hotter than I'd like...but whatever...
The dog is barking at me, she's ready for her walk...
I dug out all my copper etching sheets and cleaned them yesterday...even pulled out the 3rd grade remedy of lemon juice and salt to clean a few bits and it worked great...i tore up a few SOS pads, so be it...a couple of the sheets etched longer than the others, the grooves are pretty deep...which gave me the idea of working on thicker copper sheet and etching it longer to get the deep grooves (so it doesn't etch thru)...not like that's an original idea or anything, but I think I need to try that out...and find my disc punch and start punching out some shapes today...I have a set of dapping punches and block that are still in their packing box...i think maybe i need to haul this stuff out and use it...i just don't have a lot of horizontal space to set it up, but once i get a studio (eventually, hopefully, good grief) then I should be a jewelry-machine...we can only hope...
