It's Monday morning here at work. I'm sitting in my office enjoying a cup of coffee and I just want to extend all of you best and prosperous wishes for the new year. It's going to be a big week this week. This may or may not be the last posting to BF I make from work. I feel the noose tightening. It's probably a matter of someone getting to work in the IT department and making my world a little darker with only a few keystrokes. No matter. I can still post at home. NOTHING is going to keep me out of ShopTalk! 
I have my orientation appointment scheduled tomorrow night for the "Wellness Center" at the hospital here. The WC is really nothing more than a fancy-schmancy fitness club, operating under the guise of being a hospital. It's pretty plush - locker room attendants and everything you could ask for. Now that my wife is working in this new hospital, with the employee discount we can now afford to join it. I need to get fit. Diabetes, overweight, and too much drinking is taking its toll on my health. Time to pay the piper.
Blade Show. Damn it - I definitely GOT to make it this year. Last year was such a busy year. I know I should have taken some time off to go. I regret the decision to stay now. I'm hoping to see many of you there this year.
I'm actually spending time in the shop! This weekend I have made some progress on a stag-handled hunter. The Missus is whining about the smell throughout the house again. I got to figure out some kind of design for a booth to enclose my grinders... Final refining of the hunter tonight - Hopefully tonight I'll post a pic or two. Feels good! I got a few knife ideas in the works. I got a nice chunk of Damascus made by Indian George. I might make something with that next.
So! Happy New Year, everyone! What do you all have going on? Lots of good blades, I hope!

Wish I did. Now you 2 get better and get in the shop Jeff. I had to have an MRI last year to find out why the nerves in my left thigh were shooting sharp pains down my hip and leg. Come to find out the spider veined joints in my pelvis may have burcitis (sp?) wich is where some of the nerves live to your lower regions. oh well...beats death 
Such is the time when I think about heaving the whole system out the window.
