Now Jonathan, you're not taking proper care of her. Surely you can fork out a few bones for some gloves and a button up long sleeved cotton shirt for your better half? :|
Everything is there for her. She came out to the garage one night when I was padding beads and said "I can do that" and pushed me out of the way.

Hey, You should burn several spools of duel-shield wire.
It'll keep you young looking.... :lol:

I fully believe that dual shield has plenty of preservatives in it. Trouble is when I finally kick the bucket, I want people to see dissipation in my face and say "man that dood really lived!" 8-)

Years ago I had a bumper sticker that said "a man and his truck, it's a beautiful thing". Maybe we should get one printed up about welders and plasmas. I have to admit I like to drink in my shop, usually to excess, and re-admire my equipment and motorcycles....does that make me weird?...oh and guns...I like guns.. :lol:

I visited a new Dr. for the first time today. As he was scanning my questionaire, he noticed I responded to, "Do you drink? How much?" with, "Yes. Lots."

I, too, like to re-examine my tools, guns, and recent work through the filter of a fine buzz. So, I don't find ti wierd at all. Unless that makes me weird, too... :roll:

No the little guy isn't mine, nor is the hand on his belly. Sorry, I screwed up the last post. Mrs. B worried you might think it was our wedding, which happened 34 years ago.

I'm the older fella on the far left. I looked all over for a pic of me on this computer here at work...but I'm usually the one taking the pics and I couldn't find many. This is one is of my family when my son was inducted into the 2014 US Army All American band.

I think this is great, to be able to match faces to names!

I suspect it's as much an awakening to others as it is to me, to realize that we tend to have an expectation of what a poster may look like, and we are very often fooled.

:D
