Yeah, but Grandma had her all snuggled up to her bosom, and she was going to sleep through her whole visit, but come to think about it she has the same effect on me!

there's a milestone.
I wouldn't be signing up for the tour D'e Glencoe just yet, but biking should be good low impact stretching for the new knee.
I was gonna go pull the rest of the spinach today and leave 1-2 plants to finish going to seed, but after only pulling like a third of it yesterday and over hearing my oldest girl on the phone trying to give some away I think maybe i'll wait a day or two.

Making progress, Jon.
My stamina and strength rehab has started in earnest, with garage cleaning yesterday. First the lathe got a much needed disassembly and cleaning, while it was apart I went ahead and made a carriage lock that turned out nice. Put all that back together, cleaned and adjusted all the gibs, and started in on the stack of scrap lead in the corner. Processed roof boots into 262 1-lb ingots:
So that gained me about six square feet of garage floor. At the rate I'm going I should have half the garage cleaned and organized by Christmas.

He makes ASE certified ingots.
Same thing as nice bullets . . . . I'll let you in on the secret if you promise not to tell anyone.
Exact same thing as nice well filled out bullets . . . Mold temp.
Keep it under your hat, don't want all the secrets out.

My problem with ingots is my aim with the ladle. Same problem with shooting.

Yeah but his stacks are a bit crooked. How’d that slip by him?

I did that because I knew it would annoy Brad.

Those ARE right fine ingots, sir. I have limited casting skill, so I don't waste that scarce resource on ingots 'cause Buckshot & others never see the things. I crank down the QC when I pour the actual bullets, though, and the alibis get an anonymous and quiet re-melt.

Took a road trip today that we just got home from an hour ago. Having not gone to Ridgecrest since the 7.1 earthquake a year ago, we went that way today to see what changes occurred. One major change was to the area of Kramer Junction, where U.S. 395 and S.R. 58 once met. They don't anymore--there is an overpass and grade separation now, S.R. 58 flows non-stop over the intersection. There are even cool on-and off-ramps in place, just like a grown-up freeway has.
We elected to bypass the town of Ridgecrest, and turned off at Randsburg toward Trona. Mostly, we were killing time and daylight until darkness fell. We wanted to see the NEOWISE comet minus light pollution, and we turned off S.R. 178 to the Trona Pinnacles. These are tufa formations in old lake beds that date from the Ice Ages when this area was a whole lot wetter. I have been here in the past, but on prior visits I hadn't explored as far back as we did today. It is a LOT BIGGER AREA than I thought it was--3800 acres, with several dozen tufa pinnacles scattered over the landscape. Other-worldly scenery, a condition not lost on Hollywood film makers. LOTS of films get made here. None today, though. 102*, so not good for the snowflakes at all.
Darkness came, and we were able to find and observe the comet with binoculars easily. BEAUTIFUL! Swallow-tailed near-earth object.
