Cribbage with friends

Light and Tyler decided to bless me with their presence on Sunday night. We ate a little food and played a little cribbage.

I Love Plaid!


Yay!!!!! My new PJ's came in the mail today! They are so fun...especially because they are plaid.

Random Character



Sometimes, because I work in SE PDX, random people wander into the shop. Much of the time they look like they are straight out of the 80's. Today, one of our shop guys friends came by. Well...lets be honest, I couldn't resist snapping a picture of his mullet and his velcro 80's sneakers.

New Skilllz!



After 3 tries.... today I got results! This is my latest creation at the shop. It is the piece for the bottom of a stone sink. See the contour? In the middle we will drill a hole for the drain. The amazing thing is all of that is done with a saw blade, so it takes 4 hours to make. It still needs to be polished out, but I think it is pretty cool. Stay tuned for a picture of the finished product!

Happy 2008!!!

After much encouragement from various friends... I have decided to ring in 2008 with a blog page. What follows will be, most certainly, random. So beware.. if you are allergic to randomness. ;)
