stormdogI drove out to my grandparent's house today and was there for all of ten minutes before recieving a call from my brother, who informed me that he had left stuff he needed for the parade today in the car. No not the pride parade in Chicago, which I would have liked to see if I wan't busy. He's got some parade for his martial arts class. Or something. I really don't kow. But he left his gi and belt in the car, so I had to drive home and return them. It's an hour drive to my grandparen't house one way, so certainly had my share of on the road time today.
But I got my project for Andrea done! With some help that is. My grandfather did a little bit of fine shaping and all of the welding on it. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I'll have to post some pictures here, once I've presented it to my dear one in person. I am deeply indebted to my grandfather for his assistance with this piece which, in light of it's intended recipient, is very important to me. *hugs grandpa* I love watching him work metal. He makes it look so easy...
I, though, am worn out. It seems kinda odd, because it really didn't seem like that much work. The set-up and tear down, which involved carrying the anvil and forge (It's a small propane forge. His coal one isn't much bigger and requires a certain experience and patience in it's user so we were non-traditional...) out of the garage, was probably more work than the actual work on the piece. But the boots I wore hurt my legs, and I'm feeling that pleasent lethargy that comes after a couple of hours of physical work. I'm going to laze about for a while. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight. Maybe I'll play Chocobo Dungeon 2 with my youngest brother. That seems kinda brainlessly fun...
Four days 'till I'm in Michigan...
