E-Postcard from RickBIt topped 70 degrees here in South Myrtle Beach SC this afternoon but it is supposed to get into the low 20's at night this coming weekend. Had to run the air conditioner in the truck this afternoon.

Poured from a bowl into a brick mold. Poured a whole 14 pounds of glass(normally they are 10 pounds, brick about 11x6x1.6 inches). Black glass is actually dark brown, other is tan, both probably loaded with iron and strong tough glass. Tribal pattern, almost dendritic flow. Lower photo is cut thru where glass poured in. The glass was stacked in the bowl in alternating colors. It flowed thru the hole like brown and black balloons inside of each other(more obvious in upper photo) which is mysterious. More glass was added in the bottom of the bowl per color and less as filling bowl thinking that the first balloon to fill the mold is larger, but the smaller balloons are thicker. Could have been a theory of vanity...an upside down volcanic obsidian flow into a brick mold comes to mind. Two 1/4's of the whole brick Bumble Bee Glass

Made me so happy to see him free Thought of you the other day Ali. I was driving out to a customer's house and saw a large bird off in the distance. I was positive from the way the wings were flapping it was a Bald Eagle. Sure enough...it flew down the length of the road and gave me a nice view as he/she passed overhead. He/she/it

1dave I once had a coin ring made from a gold wedding band soldered onto a bent Mexican gold coin. I ended up selling it for the scrap gold value of about $175. per ounce back in the late 1970's. Wish I still had it today as the price of gold is now $2,045.

But, did you count the peas Thanks for the history lesson. Patty
I now have two years worth of good luck with the black eye peas but I choked on the penny.

Those older Dayton motors are pretty easy to rebuild. It may only need a new set of brushes. stefan I'm going to give up on this one. Went to Grainger today and will pick up a new motor tomorrow. Had to take a few photos of what I saw when I opened up the one I burned out.

Motor won't start back up. It's cooled down and I just pulled it off. I think it is well done Randy.
