back to casting

[blindpig]

I'm wondering if or when I'll get back to casting!! Reckon I'm just whining 'cause "honeydo" has caught up with me yet again. Started with vinyl tiles on the sun porch lookin' like potato chips this past winter(dang floors been down for over 5 years and just now acting up,go figure). Anyway I'm trying to re- cement them now that they have relaxed in the heat we are having and then gonna' apply couple of coats of sealer over the whole thing(and hope that works).Meantime my favorite wife thought it'd be a good idea to pull up the carpet in the dinning room and the linoleum in the kitchen and replace them with laminate flooring.Now about half way through with both vinyl and laminate. The actual flooring work ain't so bad but gitten' up and down is becoming a problem as my ole' knees are feeling the strain....Anyone have a good liniment they would recomend ( that's liniment not laminate) LOL!
Am keeping my spirits up 'cause this too shall pass and casting won't be far behind.....

I can go borrow some of the nebighor gals horse liniment, for you. She uses it on her horses says what it don't cure it'll kill, only other thing I can suggest is some really soft knee pads.

I didnt know you could even get that any more, I remember when I was a kid old folks using it for aches and pains. I thought they took it off the market because people figured out it could carry drugs through the skin but then I could be quite wrong on this.

Done with the honey do's its time to melt Hope the ole joints get smoothed out Don.

Meantime my favorite wife

Could you get your not so favorite wife to help, while your favorite wife rubs your knees

Good luck with it

yeah, once I learned how to install porcelain tile, EVERYONE wants me to do it now. A pair of fairly high end knee pads, and good planning to avoid having to get up a bunch, have paid off! I also bough a very small backpack and wear it backwards when Im working on the floor, and I have easy access to tools without having to get up.

But I hear ya on the no casting thing...since I started my new job, I havent had much free time. And I now need to get myself back into college to finish my degree (the new employer said I will get a 15% raise once I finish my degree...time to get crackin!!!). Basically, I wont have much time for casting for the next year in my approximation. But I have been working on Ideas and sketches so once the time frees up, I will have plenty to work on. Not to mention that I want to build a slightly bigger, and better insulated furnace, and my HVAC burner needs fixed, and I want to try my hand at a compressorless siphon burner like Harry has been working on....plenty of stuff to do and never enough time lol

I'm hooked on Bio-Freeze rub, it feels good and smells good, clears the sinuses. Make sure you wash you hands before you use the bathroom..

Go to the drug store get yourself a bottle of Witchhazel some alcohal, and a LIttle mineral oil or lanolin, if you want to make it into a cream put the Whtchhazel and the Aclcohal into a blender and drizzle in the oil it will turn to a cream after a while when it gets full of oil an ai. Don't put it on and then take a hot shower.

Thats what a Chroipractor that I used to go to sold, damn stuff was warm.

Hehe... wonder how Jammer knows this

David, sounds like a good brew... it is amazing how all these old remedy things went away in favor of big box store colorful packages and I am pretty sure many of them were as if not more effective than their modern counterparts. My wife and I stopped in to a new oriental tea store some time back and she picked up some sleepytime tea. Stuff looks like weeds to me she says it tastes about like it looks but you know when she has a cup or two of it before bed she doesnt snore at night.
