I picked up 3 small Blue Biggs slabs on ebay. I've had a cold for more than 3 weeks and turned the corner today. Not being able to work was not too bad because it was too cold to work. The temperature went up 20 degrees recently so I was pissed not being able to work.

8 BB preforms and a Royal Sahara that was included in an order. I'll start grinding tomorrow or the next day.

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
