    Next time we see him, he will no doubt have a fine face and an alley cat embroidered on the front of his apron. ;)

    Three Bottles of Beer and a Faceless Man. Sounds like a country song!

    I pray that you recover, dear lady. I wish we were nearer so we could care for you. Though you might get used to the constant attention and never recover, at least so far as you would ever let us know. :rolleyes: Seriously, please recover soon. :love:

    Now we're getting a closer look at how you work on the inside of your creations. It seems like every time I look, the bar for being impressed is raised even higher.

    I am beyond impressed...

    Now get some rest and get well.

    Nice wall layout.

    Hope you're right about tonight's game. A Series with the Bo'Sox and Brewers would be a cliff hanger right until the last out in the seventh game.

    Well, I'm a Braves fan. N BRAVES. Regar
    Well, I'm a Braves fan. Though regardless of how many cities they may have visited, they are still the Boston Braves in my mind. However, since they're not playing in the Series, the Bo'Sox it is! :cool:

    nicely squared with tight match lines. Do you use clamps, or just finger tight as the cement sets?

    Not one drop of glue goes into a joint until I am satisfied that it's as tight as I can get it. Fingers are better than clamps. You can feel the joint. That's important.

    Be ever so thankful to not be a Mariners fan! From the Seattle Pilots fiasco, through all these long decades. Sadness. Embarrassment. The only good years we have ever known being while Sweet Lou was coaching. A few flames along the way, Ken Griffey, Jr; Edgar Martinez; Ichiro. And little else. The whole thing just stinks. A high school caliber team. Bleh. :eek::mad::cry::rolleyes:o_O(n):(
