from camping a couple weeks ago near lake tahoe. one of the guys i was camping with took these with a shitty camera. they came out pretty good.

my only experience with a blowtorch was to heat up knives for hot knives.
Artemis, next time you are in SF you should go take a weekend class at The Crucible in Oakland. http://thecrucible.org/
People from all over the country come to take classes there. The classes are rather expensive and not too inspiring for people with experience, but are perfect and fun/accommodating for beginners in the industrial arts.

i've got a full metal shop with 3 phase arc, MIG/TIG, and a spot welder. the other day though, i bought this little 200 dollar chinese arc welder that plugs into 220 and it works really really well. i wish i remembered the name of it. you can easily use it at a house or something on your washing machines circuit if its 220.
So what do you like to make in your full metal shop sinep?

Welded Sculpture
That looks like it would be fun. I may just have to make another trip to SF for it. There's a cheese making course I'd like to take there too. Perhaps I can make out of doing both courses.
nice...it sounds like you go to a real school that you can't get above a 4.0. it has always bothered me when people say they got a 4.3 or some shit like that.

i got an A in my calculus class I just finished.
thats impressive. when i took AP Calc in high school I did well in the class but when i took the AP test i got a 1 (out of 5) I saw the questions and took a nap cause i knew nothing good was going to happen.
I just wrote some pretty cool riffs. Nothing like getting inspired when you plug in a Les Paul with black outs in it, a wah and a disortion setting known as "Slayer"
juana's name color...it just "pops out" to say the least
what made my day today...my first niece just turned 6 today. She's not my favorite out of the three, but she made me an aunt for the first time.
Made my day: after some calculations, my girlfriend and myself arrived to the conclusion that the number of orgasms we've had together is higher than the number of days we've actually been with each other. We celebrated by having sex.
Thinking about getting a Shiba Inu, or a Corgi for my next dog. Have had Golden Retrivers and Labs for most of my life and figure its time for a change
guess getting closer to 40 makes me more sensitive and mushy 
(Josh Brolin was great too)
(I hope so, if not, I have to wait until next Friday 
)
