Sunday, with Rain

Another quick note...it's been a very long day of thunder and rain and heat. There, did you see the lighting.... just finished dinner (a turkey roast) and I'm flat-footed tired.

My lovely wife begins college later this week. The school is across the river and many miles from our home - she asked if I'd help her scout the route. We did. The class room was located, and I flagged the way back to the parking lot.

Better safe than sorry.

Thinking about melting a bit of lead. I'd like to cast a few cheap bullets.

Now, let's hope I don't sweat in the melted lead.

Later,

Stephen

    Good luck to your lovely wife!

    I've had rain and thunderstorms here all day, but I bet it's about 20 degrees cooler too.

      I had to paddle my truck out of the drive this morning...wore a life vest. Sucks, big time.

      Thanks, Bro.

    We had some long-awaited rain on Friday; sunny & 71 today. Just about perfect for Anchorage in summer. Stay cool & well-ventilated, sir.

      There you go again, bragging about your weather. I've moss between my toes...webs have formed.

      Thanks, my friend.

    A little sweat dripping in the lead every so often keeps ya on your toes. Nothing like dodging lead shrapnel droplets :)

      Very true. Even using bricks and blocks as the base of your furnace or pot can and often results in explosions due to moisture in the material. We use old carpet...
      Thanks, my friend.

      Combination of my father's generosity and local mechanics - wheel weights. My son also gathers lead weights from his shop for me. My Dad has nice clean ingots, ready for the pot.

      Thanks, Matt.
