It is more of a sport than poker...

When Jim McKay is mentioned:

I've been talking about and planning a project for the last three years. I've got a lot left to do but with the help of a friend it's started. I'll start the cool part later today or tomorrow.

So ... you're making some giant brass balls?

That is cool.

I was born with those....this is the start of a burning globe fire pit

It took some giant brass balls to take a cutting torch to the old LP tank.

Lp. It wasn't any big deal and wasn't nervous at all. Remove the valve and there is a wide open hole to let any gas out and this one had been sitting for a long time.

On another note. A couple of months ago I replaced a broken heating element and 3 fuses as a precaution on our cloths dryer. It apparently burned out again today. Anyone have an idea what could be causing it? Maybe just a bad Chinese made replacement element? Debating trying to fix it one more time or just bite the bullet.

Heating element or bad connection probably.

My buddy sells this stuff and I had a dryer that wasn't getting as hot as it needed to, and he said at 10 years old we could replace the element, but there is a bunch of other stuff that probably needs replaced too.

Just pull the trigger on a new one. He recommended Speed Queen. I'll vouch. Good unit.

To have been working on my arts and crafts project a little more.

Very cool.

I flash burnt my eyes with the plasma last week. I swear it was worse than any welder burn and made for one terrible night. Took several days for my vision to clear up at a distance and I'm still wearing sun glasses when I shouldn't need them.
