Life is almost normal here. The electricity is on, the phone line is back and I’m full of antibiotics. I did make it to class yesterday and today and, except for a terrible cough, am feeling pretty good. My first night of welding was interesting to say the least. Soldering I understand. Fusing, no problem. Welding…well that’s another beast. I won’t bore you with the details, but I will say I’m one of the slow learners. The class is mainly middle-aged men and young men looking to work in the industry. There is another woman besides Sarah and me, but she doesn’t seem outwardly friendly. After class, a couple of the guys were chatting with us about problems they had. Seems like everyone had their share so I didn’t feel too alone. Hey, if I start out this bad, I can only get better!
Now it’s time to finish that pesky bathroom floor we started. This should be a good weekend for it. No ice storm has been predicted so I don’t think we can blame acts of God if it doesn’t get done. Tomorrow, I’ll post pics of the first round of bathroom fun.
Pretty Pretty Bang Bang 
Huzzah! Welding is awesome. My dad welds, you know.
No, I did not know your dad welds. He has risen on my cool-o-meter.
