No time for fishing now.



Today was quite a busy one. I am exausted, and my mouth tastes like metal as all I did was weld, sand and grind all day. My friend stopped by and convinced me to change a few things as he felt
a copper pipe would not hold up to wind velocity on the shore, and I agreed, however I had to go get the steel rod that would hold up and weld that onto the base. Welding with a stick welder, Miller, and if the juice aint comming in the rods stick, stick, stick. Which is good practice for me anyhow. Then I had to use my torch to heat and bend my connectors. I tried drilling these big holes, but the plate was solid, hard steel for a disk on a tractor. The torch worked wonders for blowing out those holes instead. Much faster. So, cutting parts, bending, heating, welding.
The bath is the best tonight for sure! Tomorrow, before it rains, I hope to get alot more done. As this weekend I have a concert to attend, "Collective Soul". I have front row seats. OH YEA.
