likethebeerI gave a 4-hour today. The first tour I've given since late October. Many times, when not having given a tour for months, you can stumble along. I kept saying to myself, "If you just start it, you'll remember what you need to say... for FOUR HOURS." Instead, I had no problem whatsoever. Yes, this is apparently written into my genes. Maybe I'm a ghola. Dune-techno babble>
Afterwards, feeling wacked as I usually am after these, I went to the big city and bought a new glass cutter head. I tried 2 times to cut a piece of brown glass on Sunday, which broke wrong each time. "Don't get mad at the glass," is my 1 self-taught rule,* so I had to put the project on hold so that I could get a new cutter head (damn, those things are expensive: $25!) It turns out that I wasn't getting enough oil to the carbide wheel [that's what cuts the glass. The oil helps tremendously and also prolongs the life of the cutting wheel]. I got back home, and cut those suckers no problem. Now I'm foiling, so in a few days, Saturday hopefully by the latest, I should have a lampshade for the upstairs. Now we just have to figure out how to attach the damned thing. I also read on how to frame stained glass in wood. That is a good thing. It means that I can finally design something to put in front of our light over our sink. Mda has the idea of glass in wood, simple design. Right now, we just have a newspaper turned on its side and stapled to some of the roof beams. I forget it's there most of the time.
*: Actually, let me correct that. It's one of my self-taught rules. The other one is, "Don't solder while drunk."
