The problem I have seen with giving people money is that rather than empowering people, it seems to corrupt them. There are exceptions of course.

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
Twenty-one speeds. I only use three. I can't imagine why anyone would want twenty-one speeds. Kind of like having money. After you have enough to live your life, why would you want to make any more?

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
I bought a bicycle.
It's funny. I can't walk very far any more but I can ride this for miles. Go figure.

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
To understand the art world as contrasted with the business world is similar to trying to understand quantum mechanics when your thinking is grounded in Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. So far they live in two different worlds, both of which seem valid. People don't buy art the way they buy washin...

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
Okay Jerry, good so far. Now what are you planning to cast in that nice new sand? The only sand casting I have done was my first pour ever. I made a Gingery charcoal furnace back in about 1999 and melted aluminum beer cans. I poured a wine cup. I haven't melted aluminum since. Since then it has been...

Re: Skillets to cook in
Those old ones were nice to cook with. The new ones you can buy now are a bit rough. Probably made for city folks to decorate their kitchens.

Re: Back to the foundry
Okay guys. It's time to get back to work. I know you're getting old, but I am probably out in front on that front. I turn eighty in August. Let's have some casting going on. Regarding beer. Harry wrote about Heineken: "The ole skunky beer in the green bottle." It always had a bit of a skun...

Re: Hi I'm Harry
That looks like a good dog, Harry. I'm at the age where I should maybe measure my time in months instead of years. Still no signs of an imminent end though. We are in the "oven" month here. May is our hottest, driest, but very humid month. At 4 am the outside air is 85 F. (30 C. of those o...

Re: Spitballin
I find your posts fascinating Harry. I am not much interested in gardening, although I seem to have a green thumb and can make plants grow and thrive. I'm kind of like old Henry Ford. He grew up on a farm, but all he wanted to do was work on the tractor. Still, your posts about gardening are interes...
