Good afternoon, it is a little cooler today than yesterday allowing a slow down on the snow melting process, which is a good thing. Spring will come eventually as it always does, hopefully without too much flooding.
We had another very productive day at the Forge and one more set of tongs added to our collection, we now have one set of each of the following, Flat Jaw, Bolt Jaw, and Wolf Jaw tongs, all very useful and we are getting a good deal more proficient at forging them out. Our coat hooks from two weeks ago are now in use in the shop and we have an order for a few more sets, which we will start working on next Friday.
At lunch yesterday I met up with a High School Friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in about a year and as you might imagine we had a lot of catching up to do. As well as some reminiscing of the days back then, such as Hot Rods "Flaw-Flaw" which was a phrase one of our classmates used to describe the sound of a Hot Rod. When the Addressograph Building at 248 Slater St. blew up, and Patty Mitchel who was in our 9EF Class at Tech, and later became the leader of the Stop-Watch Gang. Fun times to remember, knowing we both survived unscaved, to be sure, and avoided being sent to The Alfred Reform School. As my chum said yesterday, "that was another era, and that era is over".
That's all I have for today, hopefully I'll see you at the Cookie Club tomorrow and/or at Adams' Aces on Monday Evening.
